My friend was having a diabetic emergency on the street and they would not allow us in to help her and I was defending her to the bouncer and all he had to say was"my mom is a diabetic"'. That is so inappropriate and if my friend had something severely occur they would be hearing from me. They don't care about their customers and are rude. Don't go here:)

usually a good bar but my friend was wayyyyy overcharged due to a racist bartender who accused her of ordering an absurd amount of drinks for 3 people. Turns out the other asian woman next to her had also ordered drinks and this bartender "didn't realize they were different people". He refused to undo the charge and additionally charged the other woman.

The small bouncer with the thick braids clearly isn't getting paid enough because he was begging my friend for $20 saying she cut the line. I asked for the guys name and his slightly shorter friend started shaking in his boots and called me a cunt and tried ripping my money out of my hands. He was planning on keeping the $20 for himself, it wasn't the entry fee. I tried to explain to him that she was with us and he threatened to hit me. They clearly are under paid, over worked and most likely on some hard drugs. I grew up in East boston and never experienced such hostility in terms of nightlife. I would not go here unless you want to be harassed by the sexist staff.

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.

Absolutely avoid this bar. I (a 115 pound girl) was thrown out with unnecessary force. The situation was extremely unprofessional. The host was extremely rude and I was trying to joke with her and she was abusing her power to have me thrown out. I had no problem leaving but the security guard who decided to throw me out was calling names such as transgender and creating a way worse situation. Once I left, I hear my sister was throw out using force as well and he throw the drink she just bought at her. She was minding her own business with the rest of our friends inside but he thought she was me so he starting to do the same things to her, being overly physical and calling her names. I could go on but just avoid if possible. I would never support a business who has people who think it's okay to physically assault women and call them horrible slurs.
The bouncer here is an absolute joke. He will be moving a stack of chairs and run the chairs into your stationary foot, and then have the nerve to grab you by the neck and throw you out of the bar. He will then proceed to yell at you outside the bar for HOURS and flick you off. Absolutely disgusting. I'll never be back to this subpar "bar".

My sister and I chose to go to Bill’s after the concert in Boston last night and had quite the encounter with the supposed manager “Henry” (is what he said his name was). My sister and I walked into the door and was instantly yelled at and chased in the door by a gentleman smoking a cigarette. (Which we had no idea even worked at this establishment). He raised his voice at us and demanded an ID from the both of us, while waving his cigarette in our face. We both told him there was no issues providing identification but asked nicely for him to move the cigarette away from us which he did not at first. After asking him that, we both backed away from him in the doorway in disbelief that this type of behavior would be coming from a “manager”. I looked at him after he continued to demand IDs and get in our face and asked if he was intoxicated (which was very obvious he was). I began recording the rest of our encounter because of his poor behavior. After assuring him we could provide our IDs and confronting him about his behavior, he found out I was recording and refused to allow us in. (Guilty conscience much). After 20 minutes of going back and forth with this “manager” who was intoxicated, we walked out to go to a different place where he then followed us and told the security not to allow us in there either. Come to find out he had the authority to do so because he was the manager to that establishment as well. This type of behavior from a manager is very poor and I hope whoever goes to Bill’s, or other local spots, keeps an eye out for him. ?

Rudest service ever. We asked for the check. After 20 minutes of waiting and asking serveral people for the check…she continued to serve only males… we asked for the check again and the waitress “server 1” at main bar 2 around 4:45pm said “I heard you the first time” then continued to ignore us and walked away. After 30 mins we finally got our check, as we walked outside we complained to the bouncer who didn’t give us the time of day, and did not provide us a name to complain too. Overall terrible first experience. WILL NEVER GO BACK
