27 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.“

“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.“

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!!!“

We’ll be back the next time we’re in the area, cheers guys!“

“My husband and I frequent new restaurants regularly as we travel for his profession. I have to say not only was my salmon exquisite the real reason, our experience was on the top of our list Is because of our server. She made us feel so comfortable and at home. We felt like we’ve known her forever, which is a great feeling as we are always in new areas. Not only was her knowledge on every item I asked about on the menu top-tier but her customer service and friendliness was outstanding. I have family who also travel here quite often And I will be recommending this restaurant and having them request her Because she is what made the experience so memorable.

We ate at the restaurant for the first time tonight, May 8, 2026“

“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.“

“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!“
