Reviews for John Brewer's Tavern

Ratings_icons Nice Bar area

Geoff L.

I've recently been at the John Brewers Tavern in Malden and was very happy with my experience. There was more than adequate parking and I was very pleased with the customer service at the bar. They have a bunch of HD TV's to watch the game on and the food was pretty good too. It is relatively new in Malden and I would visit there again.

Ratings_icons Convenient location, good grub

It may not be to everyone's liking, but I like John Brewer's. Good pub grub, reasonable prices, friendly wait staff. The bar area can get busy after work hours but I've never had a problem with it being too crowded. But even when crowded, it isn't too long of a wait for a table.

Ratings_icons Raw Chicken at John Brewer's

xx x.

An earlier patron commented that the chicken they were served was too raw. In many parts of the world, people eat and enjoy raw chicken. The fine quality of this restaurant's food should not be disparaged by an American-centric taste for chicken that is cooked.

Customers be polite! Gracefully advise the server that you enjoy world tastes in food, and that you prefer your chicken not raw, but cooked so no pink-color chicken-meat remains inside the food you receive on your plate.

Within the spacious dining area pleasantly adorned with rustic wood siding and early farm tools, other private booths send quietly and warmly the phrase "no cold, pink-color chicken-meat". Experienced, favored locals preceed this request with a polite comment to the pleasant staff that conveys admiration for the tavern and the tavern's support of the world's diverse styles of food preparation.

Act with dignity. Enjoy the good food.

Ratings_icons Kind of townie

Katie B. | insider Insider | Rank: 19,139

I guess I was fooled by the name, I thought this would be a brewery. It's not. If you're looking for Bud Light, this is your place. The food is boring and served cold, the waitstaff couldn't care less about you, unless you happen to have lived in town your entire life, in which case you get star treatment (but the same boring food).
