Local tip
A meal at Ghost Light Tavern can pair naturally with a Theater District show, and reservations are available through the venue’s website.

Ghost Light Tavern is a scratch-kitchen tavern at 253 Tremont Street in Boston’s Theater District, combining casual dining, drinks, sports viewing and nightlife under one roof. The setting suits a range of plans, from a meal before a theater performance to a relaxed gathering around a game or a late evening with friends.

The menu centers on house-made tavern food prepared with fresh ingredients. Signature smash burgers, hand-breaded chicken tenders and more elevated bar bites give the kitchen a familiar foundation with room for more substantial choices. Seasonal snacks add flexibility for lighter orders or shared plates, while the beverage program includes beer and creative cocktails.

Sports are a major part of the atmosphere, with televisions throughout the tavern and a layout designed for watching a game alongside a meal or drinks. A pool table adds another casual activity downstairs, where the mood remains focused on food, conversation and bar entertainment.

Upstairs, the Clubroom shifts the tone toward nightlife from Thursday through Sunday. DJs, dancing and late-night entertainment create a livelier setting than the dining area below, making the venue suitable for an evening that moves from dinner into music and socializing. The separate rooms also support private events, with shareable food options available for group occasions.

Ghost Light Tavern works for diners looking for approachable tavern fare, sports fans seeking a place to watch a game, and groups planning an evening in the Theater District. Its combination of dinner service, drinks, pool, televised sports and scheduled Clubroom entertainment allows different parts of the venue to serve different kinds of visits.
