Democracy Brewing
35 Temple Place, Downtown Crossing
New brewery Democracy Brewing is worker-owned, with the belief that "the dream of owning your own business shouldn't be attainable to only a few, and the majority of folks who work should be able to enjoy the profit and pride that comes with ownership."
In its early days, it's got a menu of five taps, including the 1919 Strike Stout, Suffragette Pale Ale and Consummate Rioter IPA. There's also a full food menu, featuring everything from burgers to pizza bagels to Portuguese fish stew, with ice cream stout floats for dessert.
With a five-star Yelp rating out of six reviews, Democracy Brewing has been getting positive attention.
Yelper Stuart S., who reviewed Democracy Brewing on July 4, wrote, "In this day and age, it is refreshing to see a company that takes care of their employees. It seems that Democracy Brewing takes that to the next level by making it their business model."
Paul M. wrote: "Stopped by today to check out this place. Have not been to a brewpub in a while. I wanted to try some fresh drafts, and I was not disappointed. They had four brews today, since they only opened yesterday. It was hot outside, so I tried the light ale — very refreshing — and then a pale ale [with] a little more heft. Both were bright and flavorful. Gotta go back and try the stout."
Democracy Brewing is open from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays, until 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 10 p.m. Sundays.
TreMonte Restaurant & Bar North End
76 Salem St., North End
TreMonte Restaurant & Bar is the spinoff of a popular Italian spot of the same name in Woburn. In addition to a full menu of Italian fare, it offers a large selection of American and Italian wines and a full bar, with cocktails like limoncello martinis.
TreMonte Restaurant & Bar currently holds five stars out of four reviews on Yelp, indicating good reviews.
Yelper Todd J., who reviewed TreMonte on June 30, wrote, "The bartender was awesome! It was only their second night, so not very busy. And the hostess was doing a great job trying to pull people in. We had the limoncello martinis. They were made with limoncello cream, which I would probably switch out to regular limoncello next time. My wife liked it as-is."
Mike B. noted, "Great food and great atmosphere at TreMonte. Glad that they've opened this new location in the North End. Our group had a few drinks, appetizers and entrees and everything was great."
