22 Best Beer Bars in Boston

“So happy they opened in the Seaport area.“

“fun, casual atmosphere on the water good food...the lobster bisque was outstanding good service I would have preferred my wine in a glass and not plastic“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere. Definitely will be a regular place we go when visiting the area.“

“Four Piece Suit is what makes it worth visiting! We have been following them since the 90s, when they were playing music in Tam O’Shanter pub in Brookline, MA. They gathered a huge crowd the day we saw them for the first time. We were fortunate to get in the pub because they were so famous.“

“Great food and drinks! Our waitress Christen was very friendly and attentive. We’ll be back!“

“Wonderful food and great service in an amazing setting!“

“Excellent food and brilliant staff. Turned a bad experience of being stranded due to a cancelled flight into a much brighter evening.“

“Really good sandwiches! The panini and fries combo was MASSIVE and super good. Honestly, it’s like the most food in a sandwich and fries combo that I maybe have ever been given. The kids also enjoyed their pizza (which the cooks were enough to customize for them with pesto instead of red sauce). Everything was really affordable - especially in 2025 with the massive inflation everywhere. Strongly recommend.“

“Food was great, server was good, p price reasonable. The only they had overhead fans running and it was cold inside the restaurant. However all of the service and staff were wearing short sleeves. So it must have been hot near the kitchen. I would definitely go back.“

“Food was awesome and Zach was awesome with helping suggest us some appetizers and places to visit as out of towners!“

“This review is for the TopGolf upper level section of this establishment. I was here for a work event and we rented out the three TopGolf simulator stalls on the second floor of this place. This is located in a treacherous area of Boston, inside the Boston Garden building which, if you arent here for a game and just want to eat, its hit or miss if you are going to encounter a mob scene. This restaurant is very large and has two levels, and all kinds of nooks and areas to sit, lots of seating and large TVs all over the place, one huge wall of TVs which is the largest I have seen. Elevator to the second level of this place and in the back are three TopGolf simulator stalls and seating areas and these are pretty cool, lots of games to play, golf, dodge ball, hockey, football etc. The service here was impeccable and the wait staff worked very hard here and had to move in and around people swinging golf clubs. The food here was decent, good candied bacon, churros, sliders, sweet potatoe puffs, chili etc, all very tasty and hit the spot. Not sure of the pricing here, but I assume on scale with any Boston establishment. The dining area on first level open air and looked crammed packed with a very large bar running along the entire wall. The only thing I can say, elevator was down when we got in and stairs are tucked away in back, also there was a smashed glass door and they were trying to remove it while we were there and it shattered more. In all though, not a bad place to eat.“

“Great music, great food and the perfect late night atmosphere!“

“Lots of fun it was a great time“

“My friends and I went to try out their trivia and it was an ok experience for that. It’s definitely more of a sports bar that just happens to do trivia weekly. It felt like trivia wasn’t the focus of the hour even though most groups were playing. The host was solid and questions had good variety but the pace was rather slow. For food we ordered some dishes to share and a couple of personal plates and I can say across the board it was really pushing the line of being a bad value. The taste was solid but the small portions were a real disappointment. For example the tacos were so small you could easily finish each of the 3 your given in 2 bites or even 1 with little problem. The atmosphere was energetic and staff were kinda but at the end of the day it’s not for us.“

“Incredible vibes. I would say it's a better spot for an outing with friends vs like a date. It's the perfect place for dinner and a pre game spot before/near some of the best bars (a Boston natives opinion). And the service is incredible. It feels like your server is your best friend; the non judgmental one, who will tell you that you should totally get the steak over the chicken. I felt like I was vibing with friends, but if my friends had a dope restaurant“

“Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Food at airports is usually horrible but we sat at the bar in front of the kitchen. Professional kitchen staff, clearly taking pride in their work and the food looked amazing. We had wings and burgers and everything was surprisingly excellent. Golden brown fries. Glad we stopped“

“Loved the cozy, yet chic pub vibe and charming staff! We came to experience The Fed’s famous cocktails, but we were blown away by the food selections as well. When the staff heard it was my mother’s first time in Boston, Chef John made it extra special by creating a delicious Seafood tower for us! (The scallop ceviche was to die for!) The four of us sampled the pretzel, clam chowder and pasta dishes, and I’ll be making another trip back just to have the grilled asparagus salad again. So fresh and tasty! I gave ‘Mix Master Marco’ a challenge to surprise me with a cocktail, and the daiquiri he created was just amazing. (Now I wish I could remember the name of it.)
Hats off to the whole team, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Came here prior to a night out and so glad we found this place. Quality food and incredible cocktails at a reasonable price. Vibe and service is outstanding. Cassie and Kyle made our nights! Will definitely return any time we’re back in Allston.“

“A very cool dive bar of the highest order. Oldschool (Cash Only!), cool bartender (sorry I forgot your name, dude - 09/11), with a great jukebox for good measure. If you want to avoid the hipster joints, give them your money!“

“We had a great time! Beautiful setting and our waiter sebastian from Columbia was the best“

“Date night with another couple. We had Tix for Laugh Boston - comedy show at 7pm and it's in the same building, so convenient for bad weather. All located in the Westin - Seaport hotel. Drinks were good. I'm gluten & dairy free, so I ordered the quinoa salad with falafel. It was good, fresh and healthy, but I was still hungry after. Table ordered fried calamari for an appetizer. One person had fish and chips another a salad, and hubby ordered a burger. Service was good, but we were there early so it wasn't too crowded until we were on our way out. Fun vibe.“
