23 Best Beer Bars in Boston

“So happy they opened in the Seaport area.“

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

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

“Lots of fun it was a great time“

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

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

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

“Disappointing is an understatement. Our server was not friendly, but whatever I can live with that. What I can't live with is not checking in on our table for 40 mins. This is no exaggeration, I had to flag down a different server 2x before our server checked in. That said the food was fine and the cocktails were very good. The server did comp my 2nd drink after I waited 15 mins for it to arrive after ordering, but there was no recovering from our disappointing experience.“

“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!“

“Really fantastic staff, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious food — honestly one of my favorite spots in Southie now! The branzino is spectacular and all of their vegetable sides are tasty and cooked to perfection. They also gave us a sample of their potato ice cream and I’m still thinking about it. I will absolutely be a regular here!“

“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 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.“

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

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

“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“

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

“I’ve been traveling from the Seacoast area of NH to Taquería Jalisco over the past 3-4 years and it is always nothing shy of amazing. Great customer service with a very friendly staff, a variety of traditional style Mexican cuisine, and affordable. Definitely recommend this restaurant, especially if you’re looking for some mouthwatering birria tacos!!🫶🏽“

“Fantastic experience and lived up to the hype! Honestly loved the apps more than the entree. Aloo chaat chips were so good. Our server Gianna was also amazing. She made our date night out without baby so special! Even gave us a comp cookie ice cream dessert which was soooo good! Vibe and live jazz music was great too.“

“Nice Irish bar attached to the Westin seaport next to the convention center.
I was there in the afternoon on a Saturday and the place was still quite busy. Food menu is small but suffices.
Highly recommend the chicken caprese sandwich. It comes with fries. I asked for a side salad and was happy with the serving size.“

“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.“

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