Stopped by Bill's Bar before a show at MGM a few weeks back and glad we did! The bartender was super friendly. Quick service which is always appreciated. I hadn't been out in that area in a while. The bartender (I think he said his name was Cam - had a funny backwards hat on) gave us some good neighborhood spots to check out for post show. Decided to end our night back at Bill's for one more. Will certainly be back soon.

the absolute disrespect and audacity of this place!! very discriminatory despite trying to promote themselves as a "welcoming and safe space" for people of color and the LGBTQ+ community. they think they can kick anyone who they don't like or makes them "uncomfortable" and barely even bother to talk to you when question them why they're kicking you out in the first place. y'all, get go to a bar that has some decency, class, and professionalism and that can actually provide service. Vet out the unfriendly and disrespectful staff, especially the bouncers.

They are discriminatory to the lgbtq+ community even thought they have a gay flag so don’t be fooled

Nice staff and plenty of places to sit for a quick one. Staff was helpful and polite.
I would give this 0 stars if I could. Literally worst bar and service ever. We have never felt more unsafe at a bar. My boyfriend was aggressively asked to leave for no reason and when he asked why was very soon after shoved across the bar until he fell to the ground. He left with his hands up cooperating. OUTSIDE the security guard continued to interrogate and literally punch my boyfriend multiple times in the head. We have since been to the ER and he has a concussion. Please let me know why after LEAVING LIKE HE WAS ASKED he was still aggressively assaulted. The cops were called and nothing came of it...because my boyfriend did not do anything to deserve this. Meanwhile all the other employees were harassing us outside that they were going to arrest him, all employees were actively trying to make the situation worse, which I would assume their job is to do the exact opposite and actually de-escalate bar fights. This man pictured below needs to be identified and stopped from assaulting customers.

Illegal how many people they let in at once and then they yell at out and threaten to kick you out of the bar if you don’t move but there is no where to go because they are so over capacity it is sickening

Bills Bar is a place that’s been around forever but with the right managers and recent renovations they’ve got the place trendy, really eye catching and fun. There’s always a cool DJ turning up the crowd before and after the Red Sox games and the bartenders have great hospitality and are fast. Check out the fish and chips with a friend it’s a huge shareable plate.

I would give no stars if it let me. Absolute trash of a bar and racist! Never returning and advise no one to come to this place. My friend was randomly approached by a bouncer here who was extremely disrespectful and went on telling him he’s not “from here” and how he’s never seen him in this bar before. My friend was extremely calm, but the bouncer said “you can leave if you don’t like it”. 100% racism and was unwarranted. Extremely uncomfortable and not welcoming. Stay far away!!!!!

Friendly staff and cool comedy show. 4 stars for super-uncomfortable seats for the comedy show, made it hard to want to stay.

Forgot my wallet inside after getting dinner and the door security (Lavelle - scraggly old crackhead that looks like a 50 year old JJ and his meatball sidekick) wouldn’t let me go back in to get it. He kept telling me that he didn’t care that I left my wallet inside and kept refusing to let me or another worker there check for it. It’s not like I was trying to sneak in. I just spent $65 at this place. I just wanted my wallet back!I’m reporting this company to the BBB for theft if I don’t get my wallet back by tomorrow morning (9/5/2023). Lavelle should be fired for his incompetence and blatant disrespect for patrons. Withholding personal belongings is a crime.And, in case anyone is wondering, I wasn’t drunk. I only had a turkey sandwich and a water while listening to music. That’s it. I bought food for me and my gf while we watched a live band.
