The Railway Pub
1st
4.7(170 reviews)
93/100
The Railway Pub is a cosy spot near the station that's buzzing with friendly vibes, cracking food like their Sunday carvery, and a good selection of drinks – it's a real treat for a laid-back night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The Sunday carvery is an absolute winner – think juicy meats, a massive selection of veg, and homemade Yorkshire puds that hit the spot every time.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can be a bit tricky, with the pub only open five days a week and starting late in the afternoon, which might not suit everyone.
  • There's no website to check out menus or events in advance, so you might have to pop in or call to get the full scoop.

The Eagle
2nd
4.6(265 reviews)
91/100
The Eagle is a cracking little pub with superb beers and a warm, friendly vibe that's spot on for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with up to 11 cask options that keep things exciting and true to the CAMRA Good Beer Guide tradition.
  • It's got a really welcoming, community feel that's perfect for popping in after a match or just for a chat by the fire.
Areas for Improvement
  • As a tenanted pub, the Castle Rock app doesn't work here, which might be a bit of a letdown if you're used to ordering through it.
  • It can get quite busy on match days, so you might struggle to find a seat or enjoy a quiet moment.

Carpenters Arms / "The Carps"
3rd
4.6(166 reviews)
91/100
The Carpenters Arms, or 'The Carps' as the locals call it, is a welcoming Boston pub with fantastic food, friendly service, and a cosy atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and always go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, just like chatting with old mates.
  • The food is absolutely spot on, with homemade meals and that legendary Sunday lunch – think tender beef and massive Yorkshire puds that are hard to beat.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's no website, which makes it a bit tricky to look up details or check the menu before heading out.
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing from what's listed, so you might want to double-check to avoid disappointment.

Goodbarns Yard
4th
4.5(803 reviews)
90/100
Goodbarns Yard is a friendly little spot in Boston that's spot on for a relaxed pint and a hearty meal, with top-notch service and value, though you might hit a snag with the food now and then.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and really make you feel welcome, always ready with a smile and helpful advice on the menu or where to sit.
  • The food is generally spot on – think generous portions, tasty options like grilled chicken and ribs, and great value deals such as the 2 for £20 offer.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few grumbles about the food not always hitting the mark, like some dishes coming out a bit dry or undercooked, which can be disappointing.
  • Based on the reviews, it seems like the odd bad experience can stand out, such as a steak that didn't quite make it to the pan properly, so consistency might be a bit hit or miss.

Magnet Tavern
13th
4.4(78 reviews)
86/100
The Magnet Tavern in Boston is a gem of a pub with warm, welcoming vibes and top service, though it's worth noting the parking fees and lack of clear opening times before you head over.

  • There's no clear info on operating hours, which could make it tricky to plan a trip, especially if you're coming from further afield like Skegness.

82/100
George's Bar in Boston is a cracking little cocktail spot with top-tier drinks and a warm, welcoming feel, though its limited opening times might put a dampener on spontaneous visits.

Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open three days a week, which can make it tricky to pop in on a whim.

Spirit Of Endeavour
19th
4.1(2350 reviews)
82/100
Spirit Of Endeavour is a welcoming local pub in Boston with friendly faces and decent value grub, but it's got its ups and downs with waits and inconsistent food.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • When the food hits the spot, it's spot on; think tasty dishes like sizzling skillets and flame-grilled burgers, all made with fresh ingredients at honest prices.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food can take ages to arrive, even when the place isn't busy, which might leave you twiddling your thumbs and wondering if it's worth the wait.
  • The quality isn't always consistent – some meals turn up overcooked, raw, or stone cold, which is a real shame when you're looking forward to a good pub grub.

80/100

Burton House Brewers Fayre
21st
3.9(2255 reviews)
78/100
Burton House Brewers Fayre is a welcoming pub in Boston with cracking value on food and family vibes, but you'll want to brace for potential waits and inconsistent service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The prices are spot on for a casual meal out, with mains starting from just £5 and great deals like the Sunday carvery for under £12 – perfect for keeping things affordable without skimping on portions.
  • It's really family-friendly, offering a kids' menu and fun options like the carvery, making it a great spot for a relaxed Sunday with the little ones.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be painfully slow, with waits of over an hour for food even when it's not packed, which puts a damper on the whole experience.
  • Staffing seems a bit thin on the ground, leading to one person juggling everything from orders to serving, which means things don't always run smoothly.

Pirana Nightclub

3.9(147 reviews)
77/100
Pirana Nightclub in Boston is a lively spot with a solid 3.9 rating, offering great vibes for a night out, but it's not without its rough edges.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, making it a top spot for a memorable night out with friends.
  • They play some cracking dance music that really gets the crowd moving and keeps the energy high.
Areas for Improvement
  • The music selection can feel a bit tired and repetitive, with lazy remixes that don't always hit the mark.
  • The venue is on the small side, which might make it feel cramped and uncomfortable on busier nights.

First time ever going to a nightclub and really enjoyed it. Will definitely be coming back on a night out :)
Alex Champion
Clubs alright, boring music, mostly lazy house remixes of chart songs. Good chance of getting whacked by someone. All in all, not great, not terrible.

The Folly is a cosy spot in Boston with a lively atmosphere and cracking cocktails, but it's let down by cleanliness issues and inconsistent vibes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is fantastic, especially after 11pm when it really comes alive with relaxing music and a fun vibe that makes for a great night out.

  • Tables are frequently sticky and not wiped down properly, making it feel a bit neglected at times.

75/100

Pros and Cons
What's Great

The Britannia
25th
3.8(66 reviews)
75/100
The Britannia's a welcoming local spot in Boston with a decent vibe for a casual drink, but it's got some hiccups that keep it from being top-notch.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are really friendly and welcoming, like that Dylan who's been mentioned for making the place feel lively.
  • It's got a great atmosphere, especially with fun events like karaoke that get everyone in the mood for a good night.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some serious slip-ups with age checks, like letting in someone underage even after it was pointed out – that's not ideal at all.
  • It might not click for everyone; a few have said it's not quite their style, feeling a bit ordinary or not up to scratch.

The Stump and Candle
26th
3.7(260 reviews)
74/100
The Stump and Candle is a straightforward local pub in Boston with cracking value on drinks and sports screenings, but it has its rough edges that might need sorting.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks are really affordable, with a great selection of beers, lagers, ciders, and real ales that won't break the bank – perfect for a casual catch-up.
  • It's a top spot for watching live sports, with loads of big screens showing football, rugby, and more, so you can cheer on your team in a lively atmosphere.
Areas for Improvement

  • The staff aren't always the friendliest; some reviews talk about them being rude or abrasive, which might make for an uncomfortable visit.

A decaying pub in a decaying town. The staff are unfriendly and downright rude. The place is unkept, smells, and rundown. The bathrooms reek of urine with sticky floors. I wouldn’t dare touch anything...
Mehmet Kutsal
Decent pint (of lager) the hobgoblin was a bit chewy unfortunately but the beer is cheaper than pretty much anywhere else Plenty of big screens to watch sport on
