City Tap House Fort Point

City Tap House in Fort Point gives a group plenty to agree on: beer, brick-oven pizza, wings, burgers, and a menu that keeps going well beyond them. The kitchen serves everything from a Guinness-braised beef sandwich to fish and chips, with salads and a quinoa-chickpea burger among the alternatives. Start with a pretzel and beer cheese if everyone is still deciding.

The Boston Wharf Road restaurant serves lunch and dinner, plus weekend brunch. Its draft list is worth checking when you arrive, and there are cocktails, wine, and a substantial whiskey selection for people who aren’t ordering beer. It’s a practical choice when you’re meeting several friends and nobody wants to negotiate a narrow menu.
