We loved Ward 8! We leaned on OpenTable when we needed a reservation near the TD Garden on a game day for 14 people for a Bachelorette party and Ward 8 was our best option. After eating there, I will definitely be back! The food and drinks were outstanding as well as the service.

Ward 8 was a great spot to go before attending the Kelsea Ballerini concert at The Garden. Delicious cocktails, great apps, and dinner options. My only complaint is that the lighting was very very dim. It made it very difficult for me to read any sort of menu. I needed to use my flashlight on my phone to see. Great night overall!
