Beautiful place for who want to get out of the traffic in the city and relax have a drink and play pool. The management and staff is very friendly and I am glad I come by to check that out. First was okay ops just kidding hahaha, very good turkey melt you need to try for sure. Really the quesadilla need be good too, I thought my fajitas was better… but not the quesadilla is delicious. The joe the bartender is amazing, I will be back. Have Lucky Today, like always still my favorite bar! Now I can go to Brazil
Amazing service ! Tried out the chicken Parmesan and was blown away . . . Food was quite amazing . Good crowd! Why aren’t there more people at this place . Strawberry lemon drop 10/10
The first gay bar I ever went to! I’ve yet to find somewhere as enjoyable as here, had the most wonderful dates and nights with friends throughout college here and try to revisit whenever I can! Don’t know if he’s still there, but we always loved bartender Rob!
The response about "cannot" accept out of state IDs is not accurate. Massachusetts Law on Acceptable ID for Alcohol: The Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) in Massachusetts does not mandate that bars accept only certain forms of ID. Instead, they give guidance on what IDs protect a bar from liability if the customer turns out to be underage. These are the only forms of ID that give a bar legal protection: 1. A Massachusetts driver’s license 2. A Massachusetts Liquor ID 3. A Massachusetts ID card 4. A driver’s license from another U.S. state 5. A U.S. military ID 6. A valid passport (foreign or domestic) 7. A U.S. passport card 💥 European national ID cards do not count toward this protected list. But! That does not mean it’s illegal for bars to accept them — it just means they’re not protected if the ID is fake and the customer is underage. ⸻ 🧠 So what’s really going on at Cathedral Station? • ✅ They’re not legally required to refuse a European ID. • ✅ They are allowed to refuse it if they want to reduce liability or play it extra safe. • 🚫 But saying "We can’t accept out-of-state licenses" is not true. U.S. out-of-state licenses are on the acceptable list. They’re just confused or misinformed — or making excuses.
I love the spot now. I usually go there for karaoke! Huge space, so doesn't feel like you are on top of each other. Drinks are well made, and the service is friendly. It's definitely my pick now above other crowded locations. 🥂🎉
Great place if you're looking for a low key scene with good music.
The man at the door was super nice. Told him we were there to eat but the kitchen was closed. He told us to go down the street and feel free to bring food we bought back inside. I’ve never experienced that before. We did as he said and he brought us napkins and picked up our mess when we were done. So kind. We had a great time.
