First time at Bubble Bath after a recommendation from a friend to check it out. So happy with everything. Drinks were top notch. Views of Boston and Cambridge added to the ambience and great DJ playing good music. The caviar biscuit is a nice bump of caviar on a savory biscuit. Highly recommend for the views and drinks and service.

Good rooftop bar for the summer. I wouldn’t recommend the food here though. It’s good but definitely not worth the money.

All 5 stars. I am new to boston and have gone to numerous places in the area. Very good. I Went to visit this bar on a whim since I saw rooftop and who doesnt love a good rooftop bar with a view. you walk in a the lighting is dim to see the illuminating buildings that you can see out of the windows. The bartender Lesly was helpful and knowledgeable. I ordered a prickly pear cocktail and had to get another round since they were amazing. The food I did not get to try but that is next on my list for the next visit. 10/10 recommend !!!

Loved it! Perfect for a girls’ night. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and the vibes were immaculate. Charlie the sommelier was GREAT. Be sure to plan ahead and make a reservation - totally worth it!!

I hope my review can help redeem this spot if it’s on your list - like it was on mine. After reading the reviews I was little skeptical, but I truly had a great experience at Bubble Bath. The atmosphere is amazing and views are stunning! They fill a hole in the Boston bar scene in my opinion - of fancy rooftops WITH amazing interior. Sure we have Lookout but the inside of Lookout is pretty meh. So I think this place is a great addition.
We went on Saturday night and surprisingly did not have to wait for a table. A big plus!! The ambience is amazing, both indoors and outdoors (see photos) The menu is a little limited. They only have about 10 cocktails on the menu. Food options are also limited - even more so if you’re vegetarian. But would highly recommend to go for a good time and drinks! As far as service goes, our hostess was a little late to pay attention to us but it was also potentially because we switched tables from indoors to outdoors. For outdoors they offer you blankets which is a great touch. If you’re ordering food you will be charged a 5% kitchen appreciation fee but it’s optional so if you don’t want it, you can ask to have it removed. It’s added by default though.
Other than that, our night at BBB was fantastic! I’d definitely recommend this place!

We booked a 50th birthday dinner here, expecting the experience to be as incredible as the rooftop atmosphere and it truly did start off that way. From the elegant entrance to the sparkling sequin elephant and the vibrant ambiance, everything seemed perfect at first.
Our server, Alex, took our first drink order and our small tapas selections. The drinks came quickly and were delicious. Unfortunately, that’s where the good service ended. We wanted a second round, but Alex never returned to check on us. When our tapas arrived, all five of my friends received their dishes but mine never came.
After waiting quite a while, I tried to get Alex’s attention with no luck. Another staff member passed by and said he would check with the kitchen, but nothing happened. Eventually, I canceled my order only for a dish to show up much later after everyone had finished eating and our drinks were long gone.
It was disappointing to feel forgotten and brushed aside, especially when celebrating such a special occasion. When I raised the issue with management, it was handled poorly and without much concern.
If you’re looking for one drink and a beautiful sunset, this place certainly delivers on atmosphere. But if you’re hoping for attentive service and a positive dining experience, be prepared to be disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful experience.
I called for last minute spot. Our host was super accommodating. He was absolutely on top of game and super kind. View from rooftop was absolutely gorgeous

Okay, Bubble Bath sounds fun, like a porcelain container full of suds and warm water, but I wouldn’t say it was exactly what I expected.
We arrived with no reservation on a Friday night around 9p and surprisingly got a table pretty fluidly. I did avoid helping our hostess when she dropped all the menus in front of us but I needed to keep my hands squeaky clean. When we sat down, we had amazing views with the Pru in the foreground and views of the of sudsy Charles River, telescopes complementing each in-door table. Our server came by pretty quickly and we ordered our spick-and-span cocktails. I tried asking the server for his preference between two drinks, but he kind of just described the drinks to me, unbiased and scrubbed. The drinks were good, nothing too bubbly. After getting our drinks, I asked if we could walk around the tub and he gave me a semi-curt “yup” to which we took our cocktails, leaving our waters on the table.
When walked over to the outdoor balcony, I nearly started foaming at an even better view around Hynes down Newbury Street, with all the buildings complementing the view. After about 5 minutes (in bath-time, about an hour), another server came by to ask a quote “weird question” which was what our server looked like. I said he had a clean-cut beard, but when we went got back in, I saw despite our server having stumble, every other server had a fully grown, aseptic beards. I deserve a proper waterboarding for that one.
When we came back to our table for a dunk, there was another couple sitting there and our waters were gone. We were practically just stripped of our clothes and not even given a towel. We took the table behind them in the same section and proceed to get ignored by our server until we asked for the check, like he cleansed his mind of us.
Overall, a great hygienic spot! Small suggestion, add rubber ducks.
