Row 34

I'll be checking this place out very soon ... I assume Row 34 is worthy enough to be listed here right? ;-)

 

Sounds awesome, can't wait to check it out. Are they posting their draft list anywhere? Don't see it on FB or twitter (and their website is still barebones). Out of curiosity, did they have multiple taps from Trillium or JA?

 

This has been the most anticipated restaurant opening of the Fall for me. I went last Tuesday for opening night and it didn't dissapoint, tried a Jolly Pumpkin and couldn't resist a Kiwi Rising and Fort Point Pale Ale. They had 18 drafts running and the beer director said they will eventually have 24. They also intend to offer 1/2 servings of 16oz beers which I really like. Row 34 is from the same people behind Island Creek Oyster Bar and Eastern Standard so great service and food is expected; the killer draft list and pricing was a a nice surprise.

 

Someone posted a pic of the beer list on Chowhound

That list must be photoshopped. Where are all the $9 pale ales?

I've been trying to stop in since they opened. It has a ton of potential.

 

Well, there's a 13 oz MO for $7 - that's almost $9 for 16 oz. Still cheaper than the Gaff in Waltham wants for it though.

Looks like nice place to stop in for full pours of Trillium after running through the samples at the brewery.

 

Ha! $7/13oz. for any MBC is practically giving it away.

 

It was $7 for MO at one of my local joints for a stadium pour shaker pint a few months ago. Didn't think it was worth the $ for the quality. $6 for pints of Peeper at Hungry Mother were bomb a few months back though.

 

Look fwd to trying this place soon for a proper meal & beers.

 

Hi all- new to the board, but wanted to chime in. Went to Row 34 last night and was super impressed with the beer list. In addition to some great drafts (I had Port Fresh Hop IPA, Mo, Imperial Biscotti Break Natale, and Brown Shugga while I was there) they also had a solid bottle list that included some Cantillion

 

Just stop ordering MBC. It's that easy. Anywhere pouring Maine Beer Co has a beer as good or better for way less per oz. Just buy that instead.

 

just submitted the event page to BA, but in the meantime, figured I'd stick the info in this thread given folks are interested in Row 34. There's going to be an oyster and beer (beer and oyster?) event tomorrow at 9PM at Row 34. 3 each of Island Creek (east coast) and Hog Island (west) oysters for $6 and Trillium's flagship farmhouse draft (13oz) for $6. cheers! JC

 

If they are not the price I think is worth it, I don't order it - same goes for any beer. But "anywhere" has a better pale ale than peeper on draft? The only pale ale I've had that is equal or better is Trillium 4pt - and they are only served in a handful of places and run out pretty quick - and not that far from MBC prices. Or should I just order a clove laden "farmhouse" pale ale/ipa or the slew of schwaggy hopped west coast ipa's that are circulating the area lately in order to get my hop fix?

 

I used to be of the opinion that MBC beer was just expensive around Boston, & I somewhat liked their beers. Then I was in Maine a few weeks ago & realized their beer was just as pricey. Eff them, I can easily ignore that brewery.

 

I went to Row 34 last week. The beer list was pretty interesting but the food was just ok.

 

Just updating this thread to note that their beer list is now posted online (with prices!). Pretty impressive. Not a macro to be found, with lots of weird stuff that you'd only find at a beer bar like Lord Hobo.
