Hobgoblin

Hobgoblin is a gastropub and piano bar at 48 Temple Place in Boston, combining an Asian tapas menu with a broad drinks program and scheduled piano performances. The format suits diners looking for shareable food alongside cocktails, beer, wine or whiskey in a setting shaped by live musical entertainment.

The food offering centers on Asian tapas, giving the menu a small-plate style that can work for individual meals or shared dining. The venue does not present itself as a single-cuisine restaurant, instead pairing its Asian-inspired food with the relaxed category of a gastropub. That combination makes the menu relevant for an early evening meal, a drinks-led stop or a night built around piano-bar entertainment.

The drinks selection includes cocktails, beers, wine and whiskey. Its range covers several familiar bar categories, while the venue also provides a dedicated wine and whiskey list for guests interested in those drinks. The piano bar is a defining part of the character, with a pianist schedule available for visitors planning around the music.

Hobgoblin also supports private events, offering a separate way to use the space beyond regular dining and drinks. Event inquiries can be made through the venue. Online ordering is available for pickup or delivery, extending the Asian tapas and drinks-focused concept beyond the dining room. Gift cards are also offered, with options to purchase one or check an existing balance.

The Temple Place address places Hobgoblin in a central Boston setting, with the venue operating as a destination for small plates, drinks and piano-bar programming rather than as a purely food-led restaurant. Its mix of shareable Asian tapas, multiple drinks categories, scheduled piano performances and private-event service gives the venue several distinct uses. Diners can visit for a meal, groups can explore event arrangements, and customers seeking food outside the dining room can use the online pickup or delivery service.
