The Auld Sod Pub

Set along Washington Street, this Dedham spot backs its casual hangout feel with professional service and meticulously clean glassware. Guests settle in for relaxed drinks and sports on the flat screens, met by bartenders who keep the counters steadily wiped down. While drinks anchor the visit, the kitchen turns out select pub fare spotlighting an order of mozzarella sticks that visitors rate among the best around Boston.
