30 Best Cocktail Bars near Boylston

“Best damn mai tais around. Love this place!“

“The most lovely spot! The food in the atmosphere blends perfectly together the perfect place to meet friends for a cocktail and some bites!“

“I didn't try any food so cannot comment. Bar is clean and stools are comfortable. Tiny booths are vintage spaces for private conversations. I found the music a little too loud when not a full bar. Matt was our bartender and provided exceptional commentary on the cocktails, some of which he created to add to the menu. His ability to craft a cocktail on demand to match the taste of the person ordering is an art form everyone should experience at least one time.“

“Atmosphere- We went on a Saturday night and compared to other bars in Worcester I would say it was pretty slow. At least it was not crowded!

Bartenders- Both male bartenders were respectful and lovely!

ID- They scan at the door! Security was nice! I’ve had bad experiences with security too you come across more bad than good.

THE BATHROOM IS SO CUTE!!!! Stocked with things girlies need too! :)“

“This is the best bar in the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Cheap drinks. I got free crockpot chili. Pool tables. Darts. 90s country music. Working class. Lil rowdy. Saw one person get kicked out and 2 cops looking for somebody on the run. The people are hilarious.

God bless Prospector East Saloon.“

“This place is amazing. The staff is always friendly and willing to lend a recommendation! The drinks, food and desserts are consist and consistently on point!!!“

“We went to Femme last night for the first time for an early dinner and drinks. The staff was super sweet and the food was amazing. I can't wait to go back for an event or live music.“

“I took my bestie here tonight and had the ABSOLUTE best time!!! The food was amazing (we both use the gluten free menu!!!) the atmosphere was so wonderful and the service was just so beyond!!! Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“Excellent dinner and drinks, and wonderful service! Can’t wait to come back. Lemongrass tofu was outstanding!“

“Ok y’all this bar is not what it seems. This is the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover. The atmosphere here was amazing. It has a small town, homey, everyone knows everyone vibe. There was a band during my visit (Dan and friends? Something like that) and they were INCREDIBLE!!!!! Absolutely insanely good. They killed it. Live music and cold beer, what more can you ask? The food however, not the best. Had the meatball sub sandwich or whatever and it was ehh, ok at best. The atmosphere here is worth a visit.“

“Awesome food, attentive staff, couldn’t have asked for a better meal.“

“I always want to try all of Armsby's dishes because they make meals based on what's in season. They have a lot of staples on their menu like the Smash Burger that I absolutely love. I crave the burger and fries here and it's hard to deviate. The drinks are always unique, too. If I just want to have a nice drink after a long week or stop in before some Worcester type event, I would choose Armsby over anything. The staff are always so friendly, too! It's such a Worcester institution and a must-try!“

“Great dining experience, authentic Italian food and great service.“

“Me gusta todo música comida“

“Amazing food and amazing service!!“

“Always a wonderful dining experience here. Service does a great job considering the heavy work load. The place was full, with people waiting, so it was a bit noisy, a bit challenging to converse over dinner. However that did not at all take away from the food and service. Never disappoint at CBG.“

“What a great find! Hamburger was delicious. Chips are homemade and the salad is fabulous. Try the tuna bowl. Called sesame. Has avocado, greens, edamame beans, carrots, etc. delicious! Staff was wonderful! A++“

“Reopened with a new manager. Absolutely awesome. Very cool vibe with incredible craft cocktails made with fresh ingredients. Also offer many food items. Tons of parking behind the building. If you're looking for a new place for drinks check it out now. You will not be disappointed.“

“So cute & such a nice vibe. Great drinks, great music, they do pizza by the slice if you ask, they have desert and delicious complimentary popcorn. Me and my friend came on a saturday night and were shocked that we were the only ones in there, a few people trickled in before we left but this is SUCH a great place to come and hang out, dance relax. staff is SO sweet & friendly. definitely go and check it out if you’re in the area! we will definitely be back a bunch“

“Very nice.. Great selection for breakfast. Fresh fruit to cooking anything you want. Nice for people that don't like a buffet style breakfast. Very clean and service was great. Something's I can't not eat and there was no problem finding something because they have so much to choose from.
Just great all the way around !!!!“

“Food and margaritas were fantastic! Had the grilled chicken mole which was really moist and tender and tasty. Bar tender was super friendly. Will definitely add to the rotation!“

“We usually sit at the bar and get immediate service. The bartender last night even remember us from a few months ago. She remembered what we drank. My sister ordered the same as last time and I ordered a slightly dirty Tito’s martini with a special request for bleu cheese stuffed olives. They were perfection! We both ordered the ahi tuna with avocado and jasmine rice. Omg it was to die for. I can’t wait to go back and order it again. I wish I could remember the bartender’s name so I could give her a shout out!!! All it says in the receipt is server: PM.“

“Food was very good. Atmosphere is LOUD. Family friendly, but not many choices for kids on the menu. Good section of Cocktails, Beers,and Wines.“

“Me and the Mrs had a very nice dinner Ribeyes are excellent , Adam was very personable. Everything tase very good portions could be a bit bigger , and maybe expand the menu abit. That's my only reservation, we will be going back to try lunch , Highly recomended Paul and Maria.“

“Great food, friendly staff“

“It's National Oyster Day & I'm hooked on The Mercantile's offer of $1 oysters with strawberry mignonette from 4-6, Monday to Thursday, is unbeatable. I also devoured their goat cheese bites, crispy broccoli, & boom boom shrimp, all incredible appetizers. My friends' mac & cheese with buffalo shrimp & lobster fettuccine were insane. To top it off Claire, our waitress, was absolute perfection. Back to the mac & cheese - top tier!“
