Lower Mills Tavern

Awarded Best Neighborhood Restaurant in Dorchester by Boston Magazine, the tavern pairs an easy local rhythm with inventive comfort cooking. The kitchen turns out dishes like well-seasoned brisket and chowder, while daytime offerings include dutch baby apple pancakes, waffles, and notably crispy home fries. Poured alongside craft cocktails, the food and drinks carry the room from casual lunches straight through to late-night gatherings.
