New Landing

Great Environment and Specials

by BostonIsForLovers at Citysearch

After my first experience there, my friends and I became regulars. I love the atmosphere, the food is great and the people are nice. The owners are welcoming and it is evident how much they appreciate their regulars. They have an outdoor patio which is great in warm weather, lots of TV's if you want to watch the game, half-priced appetizers during Boston games, and $2 miller lite drafts. There is also trivia on Wednesdays, where you can win gift certificates. I have recommended this place to all my friends, and everyone who has gone loves it. My high school friends and I get together around Thanksgiving time every year, and this year I suggested we meet at the New Landing and we had a great time together. Plus they accommodate big groups because there is so much space and seating options.

I am a vegetarian, and when I eat there I know I have options because they have a variety of meals that apply to any taste, not just meat and bar food.

Moody Street has a lot of options, but this is by far one of my favorite spots.

• Pros: great sports bar, half-priced apps, $2 miller lites, lots of room, trivia wednesdays
• Cons: not a good place if you are looking for a cheap entree

comfortable, friendly restaurant

I just got back from dinner at the new landing - i have nothing but good things to say. i was greeted in a friendly way by the bouncer and the hostess. we started at the bar where the bar tender was very attentive and the fancy drink I had was really good! we then went into the restaurant part to eat and were given a booth where we could see a # of tvs to watch the celts game. The waitress was very accomodating and we got our food quickly. We had appetizers and dinner and all was very good. I highly recommend the steak fries, the onion soup, and the chicken fajita wrap. I would definitely go back.

• Pros: friendly, comfortable atmosphere

Worst "upscale" Sports Bar experience in Waltham/Cambridge/Boston area.

by al2323 at Citysearch

It was the worst sports bar we have ever been to. Nice TVs but horrible atmosphere unless you know the owners. We stuck to the tables! Tables were dirty, booths casually patched up. It's like a post-fraternity house. Worst place on Moody Street (or general Waltham area). Good place for guys to watch sports. Food - nothing special. Service - terrible. Would not go back there. If they want to stay in business, my recommendation is to appeal to more people - not just your buddies. Not recommended at all.

• Pros: Food was same as most sports bars, nice TVs
• Cons: Terrible service, dirty environment, frat style greetings to their buddies
