Lower Mills Tavern

Lower Mills Tavern on Dorchester Avenue serves pub food with a seasonal menu. Alongside pizza and burgers, you might find chicken pot pie, beef ragù with pappardelle or squash-and-spinach rollatini. The drinks list includes local beer, cocktails and nonalcoholic beer choices.

Weekend brunch brings a separate menu, including chicken and biscuits and Dutch baby apple pancakes. The tavern also schedules live music on Thursday evenings with no cover; check the calendar for performers and any changes. There’s a children’s menu, and pickup and delivery ordering are available. For a visit built around brunch or music, check those hours separately from regular dinner service.
