Lower Mills Tavern, Dorchester MA
Super friendly service is the highlight of any visit to this cozy spot, one of several eclectic local establishments co-owned by Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey. But you’ll also find a nice beer selection, high-end spirits, and fresh fare. Chef Cara Marie Nance sources from locals like Brookwood Community Farm and Foley Fish to comprise dishes like apple-pork belly sliders with celery root purée, and pepita-crusted seared salmon with pomegranate and citrus quinoa and baby kale. There’s live music on Tuesday and Saturday nights, weekend brunch, and a new late-night menu on Saturdays with $10 pizzas and more.
