20 Best Beer Bars in Boston

“So happy they opened in the Seaport area.“

“Went there for lunch and did not disappoint! Highly recommend the Lobster Bisque, best I’ve had in a very long time.“

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

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

“Lots of fun it was a great time“

“Searched for brick oven pizza in the North End. This was one of the first ones to pop up and I remember it getting a high score and a good review from Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports pizza reviews. My girlfriend and her son both loved it too. Very generous with the toppings. Sauce is amazing and fresh tasting. Great crust too. Staff was friendly. Didn't take long either. The World Cup final was going on so the atmosphere was fun and going crazy when Spain scored.“

“I love wicked craft ❤️! I love decoration ! they’re all so kind and they make the best cocktails“

“3.8 rating is criminal...4.4 at least! Ordering both food and beverages is as soon as many other places, however, where do you know what time you get your drinks much quicker here than most. The beer selection is on point and the staff is always current on what's available or 86'd. Bonus it's great to show up here when there's a band playing next door.“

“Came here pre-concert upon the recommendation of friends who live in the West End. Perfect suggestion! Great pizza options - you can see the pizza oven from your seat. The four of us light eaters shared the pear arugula salad (excellent - the balsamic dressing was fantastic.) followed by a large pizza. We were able to get half margherita half salsiccia to satisfy all tastes. OMG the sauce is some of the freshest I've had in the North End. Service was great - got us in and out in plenty of time. If planning to go before a game or concert, a reservation is a must. A short walk from home, so we'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I’ve been here many times, and last night was great. I was served by Vee. he was very welcoming, helpful, and always smiling. I accidentally pushed my glass off the bar, and he handled it so professionally and didn’t even charge me for it. I really appreciated his kindness and positive attitude.
However, my experience the week before was different. The female bartender (with the big glasses) served me with a bit of an attitude. never introduced herself! You can’t feel that she doesn’t like the job…When I asked if I could borrow an iPhone charger since my phone had died, she told me to go to the front desk. The response felt a little dry and not very friendly. no problem if no charger is available, but I think it’s a good idea to leave one or two chargers at the bar since most of the people have an iPhone.

Overall, I enjoy coming here, but service consistency definitely makes a difference“

“If I could give 10 stars for customer service, I would! Matt and Kevin (Bakes) are fantastic bartenders. Bakes, especially, was professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He knew the customers by name and they knew him. This superior service made overpriced hotel food worth it, lol. Also, the cobb salad with salmon was divine!“

“Great beer and fun atmosphere great bar tender Phil!“

“I visited here while attending a conference. I did not intend to come here, but i was just too hungry and chose the closest one.
Maria was very friendly and quick, we felt like we were welcomed here.
We ordered two kids menus, cod reuben, chicken sandwich, salad (forgot the name). Honestly.... All super tasty! Cod reuben was my favorite of all. I am not sure why rate here was low but i was very satisfied with service of staff, and food quality. I would visit again for sure .)“

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

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

“Main issue was the service. Waited 40 minutes for our drinks, then when arrived, 1 was wrong. Server less than apologetic then took another 10 minutes for a replacement. Ordered 4 apps, 1 came out in a reasonable time, others all came separately after a long wait. Apparently Server was having issues because manager did come over to ask how things were going......not well. He did end up compensating is with 2 rounds of drinks. Food however was excellent. Many other staff also confused, walking to tables, trying to give food that they patron didn't order.“
