Cool little speakeasy with knowledgeable servers and an interesting cocktails list. For me though the cocktails were far too sweet. Only went for drinks so can’t comment on the food.

If you want to come for drinks here whilst visiting Boston from another country make sure you have your birth certificate, passport, mortgage deeds alongside a bank statement. We got refused entry on our last night visiting Boston, which was a massive disappointment. The manager of the bar couldn’t even come out and speak to us, he sent one of their staff. Not worth the hype at all!

Didn’t order food but cocktails, service, atmosphere were all great. Would absolutely come back. LOVED the bill being presented in a hair roller. Fab spot.

Amazing cocktails! They have communal seating, which was actually really nice while I was traveling for work. Met some lovely people, and had an amazing cocktail. Couldn't have asked for more.

Echoing what a lot of the people are saying here, rude and incompetent service. The people running this place could really use some hospitality training.

This place was highly recommended to us by at least seven or eight locals. We were so excited to go and give it a try. Upon entering the atmosphere definitely looks beautiful and we were seated immediately. The expedited manner in which we were seated was the last thing that was expedited about our experience. We waited about 25 - 30 minutes we were not even approached by a server. So we walked out. So I can't tell you how the food or drinks are, only that if you want to find out make sure you have some extra time on your hands.

Highly disappointed. Visited Boston for a weekend trip with a friend and saved this spot for last as we were so excited for this speakeasy.
While the drinks and atmosphere were amazing, the staff and service was severely lacking. Upon arriving we were told we needed our passports to enter since we were out of town. This was not expressed to us before hand, if this policy please advise before arrival. After seating, we were nor told anything about the menu. This included when the kitchen would be closing or if there were things not available on the menu.
Once we ordering our first round of drinks, the drink requested was not available and the option for food or acknowledgement of the kitchen closing was not brought up until asked. The server was talking through his yawns. We were not checked on during our experience.
It is a shame since this place has potential to be a great spot. If you don't care about service then you will enjoy the drinks and atmosphere.

Awesome atmosphere. Must go! The private dining option next door is great!
Well first, let me say… when you receive the calendar invite it comes as “Dinner at the Wig Shop”. Stop right there. While they have snacks, they do not have a full menu. Definitely don’t make the same mistake I did and cancel your dinner reservations and expect to eat there.
That being said, oh my. The drinks are fantastic. Just absolutely perfectly balanced and delicious. We ordered pita & hummus and olives to snack on which were solid but could’ve used 4x the amount of pita to the volume of hummus.
The service was great and they were very available, knowledgeable, and kind.
The bi-curious George was by far my favorite drink on the menu. I definitely look forward to heading back out ti Boston to go again.

I recently visited The Wig Shop without any idea what to expect, but thanks to Lu, I had a really awesome experience. From the jump she was very personable and genuine; took the time to explain the unique cocktail menu and suggested personalized options based on my preferences.
What really stood out was her passion for life, and her craft.. Each drink was not only beautifully assembled, but also deliciously balanced. And I wasn’t the only one! She engaged with other guests, sharing stories behind the ingredients and techniques, making the experience feel intimate and special.
The ambiance of the speakeasy combined with Ali’s attentive service made for an unforgettable night. If you’re looking for a place with character and top-notch cocktails, this is it. Highly recommend!

Discovering The Wig Shop Cocktail Lounge was a delightful surprise. Upon entering, the eclectic decor and vibrant atmosphere immediately set the tone for a memorable night. I decided to stick with my favorite, the Amaretto Sour, which was expertly crafted—balanced sweetness with a perfect sour kick. Pairing it with their signature lobster pancakes was a stroke of genius; the pancakes were irresistibly flavorful, with succulent lobster adding a rich depth to each bite.
The ambient lighting and curated playlist created a lively yet comfortable setting, making my drink and meal even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a spot to unwind after work or a unique venue to impress friends, The Wig Shop offers a versatile vibe that caters to all. I can already envision returning with friends to share in the experience. With its inviting atmosphere, delectable menu, and excellent service, The Wig Shop Cocktail Lounge has quickly become a favorite destination. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of great drinks, delicious food, and a fantastic ambiance.

Honestly we had heard so many good things about this place, but once we went in there they didn’t even acknowledge us for a good 10-15 minutes. We kept seeing other tables sat and served but not us. Would not suggest.

Amazing and creative drinks, one of Boston's best. Higher chance of red line running than getting your server's attention. I'd bet on shuttle busses every time.
