The bar downstairs is fun. The set for the program is upstairs. They usually open it as a full working bar during the summer. Food is good but overpriced.

Visiting from the UK, we booked Thanksgiving lunch well in advance as this was a recommendation. The venue is very classy, beautiful setting for a wedding and indeed for lunch. The staff were a letdown, the lady on reception was surly to the point of rude and very bizarre, but our waiter went off with one of our credit cards, not just to take payment but literally walked off without returning it. Food was 'good' but would have expected elevated presentation from a venue of this distinction.

We recently held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Hampshire House in Beacon Hill. Sydney was the Catering Sales Manager who coordinated our event. When we were looking for a venue for our wedding it was important to us that the space felt like it had lots of character and enchantment. I wanted my guests to feel like they were being transported to another time and place and have a wonderful experience through the visual presentation. Upon touring the Hampshire House, we immediately fell in love with the sophistication of the old Bostonian mansion, the library with its wooden shelves and gorgeous fireplace, the warm and rich colors of the space with its ornate décor and intimate charm. The location is fantastic with the Boston Public Garden directly across the street which made for magical photos with the fall foliage. Hampshire House evoked the exact whimsical and romantic feeling that we were looking for. Sydney and her team worked diligently with us from the first steps of planning through scheduling, menu selection, rentals and coordination of vendor logistics with load in and out, etc. Sydney offered great insight and experience into the planning process and was there to make sure our big day was everything we could have dreamt of. I felt that the Hampshire House team thought of every detail to make us feel special and as for day of logistics, I was so pleased to find that they took care of essentially everything leaving no added stress to our day. They were very communicative and accommodating to our requests and even held on to some items for us that had been forgotten after the reception until we were able to come back to pick them up. The food was incredible, my guests are still raving about the decadent flavors and beautiful presentation of every item on the menu. The Hampshire House is a top notch venue with an incredible customer experience, do yourself a favor and book your wedding or special event with them!

The ambiance, the service, and the food were EXCELLENT!!! Best Thanksgiving I've ever had.

We had high expectations as we had heard great things. Unfortunately, our Thanksgiving meal was just ok. Too much butter, oily vegetables and the service was a bit disorganized. Definitely not worth the price. However, the venue is lovely and our company great, so for that we're grateful.

Hampshire House was the perfect Boston venue for our wedding. Victoria and her team took care of us from start to finish. I highly recommend having a wedding or your next event here!

We cannot say enough good things about the Hampshire House. We just had our wedding there on 10/12/24 and we still can’t believe how perfectly everything went. We were lucky enough to work with Victoria who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly how we had imagined. From answering many, many, emails, to helping us with all of our decor, to making sure the day ran seamlessly. She was fantastic! All of my vendors were able to easily get in contact with her and set up the day of which eased the stress on myself and my family. That goes to say that everyone we worked with that day was also super friendly and extremely accommodating.
The food was amazing. It was hard to narrow down our choices from the tasting because everything was so good. We worked with Dessert Works for our cake since they work directly with the Hampshire House and it was beautiful.
We chose the Hampshire House because we wanted an intimate wedding (50 guests) and as soon as we saw pictures we knew it was the place. If you’re looking for a city wedding with a timeless and cozy feel, this is the place!

While practically everyone knows the famous Cheers bar at the Hampshire House due to the old TV show, the real secret gem at this luxurious Beacon Hill mansion is the show that takes place upstairs in the library: Four-Handed Illusions. Steve Kradolfer and Joel Acevedo, the Four-Handed Illusions team, dazzled a full room at the beautiful Hampshire House in Boston with their fun blend of magic, comedy, and music.
There’s a reason why their performances sell out quickly and are rated one of the best things to do in Boston. This is not your father's cliched magic show with rabbits pulled out of a top hat or sawing a woman in half. Both of them are incredibly funny as well as supremely talented modern illusionists. You'll be scratching your head long afterwards trying to figure out how they pulled off those tricks.
It's a luxurious setting in the Hampshire House's library and adjoining bar, and the dress code makes it feel like a truly special time out. The size and intimacy give it a vibe like you've been invited to a secret speakeasy or the coolest house party ever.
If you want a fun afternoon or evening out with plenty of laughs, amazement, and a cocktail or two, I highly recommend it!

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Hampshire House, and it was absolutely magical! The venue’s classic New England charm, with its stunning wood decor and proximity to Boston Common, made it an ideal setting for our intimate wedding. Every detail was flawless, thanks to the incredible support of Sydney Turnbull, our sales manager and wedding coordinator. Sydney is a true gem—professional, warm, kind, and exceptionally knowledgeable. She went above and beyond, guiding us through each step with ease, from helping us choose the perfect chairs to coordinating seamlessly with our vendors and guests. Her dedication and support made the planning process smooth and stress-free. The food was also outstanding, especially the sea bass and chocolate raspberry cake, which our guests raved about. We received so many compliments on both the delicious dishes and the excellent service. We are so grateful to Sydney and the Hampshire House team for creating our dream wedding day. Thank you for making our celebration unforgettable!
Sydney and the banquet staff were terrific. From the moment we arrived every detail was taken care of. Our guests had a great time. The food was delicious and we had the added bonus of beautiful flowers from a previous event.

Phenomenal food, staff, and service for my daughter’s recent bridal shower at the Hampshire House. Highly recommend and would return again for future celebrations.

We were lucky to be invited to an intimate wedding at this venue. It has classic New England charm, with beautiful art, high ceilings and elegant woodwork. The food was pretty good for wedding food. They surprisingly had enough space to make a small dance floor, which we took advantage of dancing the night away.

Host downstairs "for drinks it is first come first serve, you can pick any spot" After picking a table we are told to not use it because people are coming up to eat.
To be fair: when going to a tourist trap, you can expect to be treated like trash anyway, so that's on me
