    I can understand that a bar can get very busy, but nothing justifies the way we were treated. From the moment we arrived, the man who appeared to be the restaurant’s manager (a shorter man with a mustache) had an arrogant and disrespectful attitude. After a waitress had already assigned us a table, he came over, moved us to a different one, and spoke to us in a very rude manner without any explanation. Once we were seated at the new table, we asked the waitress about a happy hour promotion that was clearly advertised on signs and chalkboards throughout the venue. However, this same man came over specifically to tell the waitress that the promotion was not available. This was very confusing and felt like false advertising, since the promotion was still being displayed all around the bar. The most disappointing part was not being moved to another table or the promotion itself, but the attitude of the man who appeared to be the manager. I understand that hospitality staff can be under a lot of pressure, but that is never an excuse for treating customers disrespectfully. I’m writing this review in the hope that it helps other travelers and tourists choose a place where they will be treated with the respect that every customer deserves.

    Very good Pub and restaurant in Boston, good food, good selection of draft beers and good service. The only issue is that in a week day (Monday) after 11:15pm They don’t have any soda. Maybe because They close at 12am.

    The steak & mushroom pot pie at Elephant & Castle was spot on, especially when paired with a Guinness. The server went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable with attentive and friendly service. Thank you for a great experience—we'll definitely be back!

    Went for breakfast while staying at adjoining hotel. Service was horrible with other diners forced to go to bar for more coffee. Plenty of staff present but appeared they were all new and did not understand jobs. My girlfriend received wrong order and took a long time to get correct selection. Food was decent when received.

    One star, and that is being extraordinarily generous. In over four years of living in the United States, I have frequented countless establishments across thiscountry, and I can say with complete confidence that the Elephant and Castle in Boston has distinguished itself as the single most appallingly staffed pub I have ever had the misfortune of setting foot in. The waiting staff and serving personnel appear to have been recruited specifically for their talent in hostility. During the World Cup, an occasion one might naïvely assume a pub would embrace with something approaching warmth, international guests were treated not as valued patrons, but as an inconvenience to be disposed of. We were repeatedly ejected from our tables without explanation, spoken to in a manner I would describe as aggressive bordering on threatening, belittled in front of other customers, and made to feel wholly unwelcome at every conceivable turn. Let me be absolutely clear: this was not a one-off lapse in professionalism. This was sustained, deliberate hostility directed squarely at international guests, the very demographic one might expect a self-styled British pub to welcome with open arms during a global football tournament. The irony of an establishment trading on British pub culture whilst delivering service that would embarrass even the most grizzled, joyless Wetherspoons on a bank holiday Monday is quite something to behold. If you are visiting Boston from abroad, save yourself the humiliation. If you are a local, consider whether you wish to financially support a venue that treats your international friends and neighbours with outright contempt. Absolutely disgraceful. Do better, or don't bother opening your doors.
