"After spending a day at the Charleston Navy Yard and then up at Bunker Hill, we decided on an early dinnner. The closest place was (thankfully) downhill all the way on Pleasant street, a relatively easy walk. On a Tuesday afternoon at about 5 pm, we found the Warren Tavern not at all crowded and we were quickly seated in the room to the left after entering the front door (there was also outdoor seating). We had the room to ourself and took some time to admire the old thick beams in the construction and the provincial decorations. Our seat by the window also overlooked Main Street and it was nice just to watch the people and traffic go by on that beautiful afternoon. We both had the clam chowder, which was quite good, although perhaps not the absolute best we had while in the Boston area. We also both had the short rib shepherds pie, which turned out to be a hearty and tasty entree. Indeed, it was difficult to finish the dishes, since they were so filling. Dinner for two came out to just under $60, not including tax or tip. We didn't see any dedicated parking for the Tavern, and Pleasant Street is narrow and appears to be one-way. That wasn't a problem for us this visit, since I'd left our car at the Nautica parking garage (over near the Navy Yard), after dinner it was simple enough to walk the couple of blocks back there, collect the car, and then drive back to the Tavern to pick up the other member of our party waiting out front. Overall, a good meal in an attractive old building. I'll look forward to visiting again when we're next in the area."
