50 Best Bars near Braintree

“Listen the only reason I can see someone leaving a bad review is if you got your butt kicked in a game of connect four against the bartender and your salty about it. Honestly the food and drink is on point! Especially the chicky tendies and shoestring French fries! Every food item I have ate has been fantastic though. Sam, Kim and everyone involved are great. I am assuming any negative reviews are from patrons who caused the problem. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Highly recommend! I regularly commute from Roslindale to patron this establishment for good food, good vibes and amazing experience! Thank you to the entire Four Square team for always being a welcoming, friendly and great place to frequent!“

“I love this place!!! The games are adult friendly and my son shears have a great time!“

“I went here for a Birthday party. It was on the second floor. When getting there I noticed it was an old building and it needed work. However when I went inside it was nice. It was clean and it had a new floor. It was a large space. There was a small bar and the bartender was friendly. The only problem I had was the strong smell of smoke. There was no one smoking there so I assume it is coming from the first floor .“

“Kevin was our service provider this evening. He is absolutely fantastic. He has been our service provider prior to this - and even though we haven't been here for a few weeks - he remembered who we are -and what we usually order. Everything was perfect. He makes the dining experience excellent“

“Keiva was extremely kind to my sister in law and I! She had at least 8 tables on this busy night but that didn’t stop her from making sure each table had what they needed! She was very quick and efficient and would recommend her 100/10 times!!! Thanks girl!!!“

“This place is MASSIVE! We loved how open it was. The food was sooooo good and the staff was great too! We will definitely be back“

“Everything tasted great! Bartenders were friendly A throwback of nostalgia of when I grew up and lived in Braintree“

“Thank you so much for the excellent service and warm hospitality. I truly enjoyed being at your restaurant, and everything was wonderful. The day was especially meaningful to us as we were celebrating my husband's birthday, and you helped make it a very special and memorable occasion. We felt very welcome and well taken care of. Thank you once again for making our celebration so lovely. We look forward to visiting again.“

“Had dinner at Lucy's while adventuring and it was hands down incredible! Everything was outstanding. The staff, the food, the environment, right down to the ice cold water and beer! 🤣 I will definetly be going again, because I wanted everything on the menu! Thank you Lucy's!“

“The mimosas are amazing!!“

“the oysters are out of sight! delicious bravo! bouillabaisse was amazing! I did like my server. I do suggest they get some sleep nobody was smiling.“

“Holy moly! Rainy first night in Boston staying up the way at the Commonwealth we visited the Kenmore. Nathan took great care of us. Solid pour at the bar. Can I say enough about the K Burger? Likely not other than the first bite blows your mind. Quality over everything else. Great spot, will be back tonight and tomorrow night looking for Sturgill Simpson fans.“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“

“Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere“

“A bar dedicated to my favorite poet? It was a no-brainer that I was gonna love this place. Might add, one of the best Guinness pours I’ve ever had. Perfect!“

“Everybody needs to have a great dive bar. THIS IS IT! Long bar with comfy stools. Lots of seating and standing room along the other side of the room. Limited (but too limited) selection of beers and alcohol which makes it easy to pick one without taking too much time. Bar staff have been around and seen some shit and they aren't going to put up with you're bullshit. They are very nice and super efficient, but they have people to serve. The prices are GREAT, incredible for downtown Boston. I love everything about this place.“

“1 thing about the place is, the drinks aren't cheap.
Compared to some places going at 16 to 18
This place is going at 22. All before tax and tips.
Now what makes this place special.
The effort. Most drinks are nicely presented and decorated. The drinks are not the highest in ABV but not low as well. Average of the 4 drinks I had, will put them around 18% to 20%.

The ambience is amazing. Truly a realm of dark arts.
The problem is, they have a small space and you might and will wait for a seat.
And is worth it.
I waited for 30mins. No regrets.“

“Visited for the first time during a girls’ night out, and I was so impressed! The atmosphere was perfect for relaxing and enjoying a few drinks, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. I absolutely loved the cozy, speakeasy vibe—it made the whole experience feel special. I would definitely come back again!”“

“Love this place beyond words!!“

“I found this bar on Reddit and oh my GOD. Visiting from out of town and this was exactly the vibe I wanted from a bar in Boston. You cannot get a better vibe from a bar. Owner was so nice!!! Workers??? Incredible. Patrons??? Made me feel at home. Literally best bar experience ever!!! Deserves all the stars in the world✨ Angelica was such an incredible bartender!!“

“We go to Eastern Standard for a nice leisurely meal after a afternoon Red Sox game. Wait staff is attentive and Johnny on the spot when taking and discussing your order. Food has always been prepared as we like it. Quality, Quantity and presentation prevails. Thanks to the entire staff for making each trip to a game a pleasure win or loose.“

“Dining in a cozy yurt surrounded by freshly fallen snow was fun winter experience for our family. Great ambiance, and the food and service were exceptional. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable outing!“

“Not only is The Substation in Roslindale perfect for the Workhub Community space, but they also have a full bar and public programming now! You can attend public bar nights, book private events, and work from "home" all in the same beautiful, historically rich space. Could not recommend this place more. 🚎💚“

“Wicked delicious food and cocktails. I loved the shrimp flatbread and the Crab cakes.“

“Feels like coming home! Very welcoming“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“We visited from GA and Mr Medico was very friendly and an all around great guy!“

“I’m giving Merai, a full 5 stars. The service here is excellent — attentive, friendly, and professional, making the dining experience very enjoyable. The cocktails are well-crafted, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For those seeking vegetarian options, the menu offers delicious choices that are thoughtfully prepared. Overall, Merai combines great food, drinks, and service, making it a standout spot in Brookline. Highly recommended!“

“Very cool idea. I love not having to chase after the ping pong balls. 🤪“

“Been here on a pinch between trains or busses several times. I never review shit. I came in today and just realized how much I appreciate this place. Always clean and friendly. Accessible beer selection. Buffalo Wings were my ideal Wings style. Sauce carried heat but full of flavor. Breaded and it works for that sauce.

Service was incredible. Was some locals and college kids present for sure. No blink of an eye, whole place was supreme.“

“Visited fool's errand last week from NYC and i was really happy we found this gem in Fenway. Cocktails were on point, crafted and delicious.

I had the orchard it and the L train ( i have to have it since i am from NY ) both were great. Giancarlo runs the program and boy he was attentive, fast and just easy to talk to.

I wll be coming back soon !“

“MIMI IS AMAZINGGGG. We’ve been here MULTIPLE times and her service has consistently been incredible. She’s very attentive, kind, welcoming, and overall a joy to be around. LOVE HER!“

“Excellent as always. Makings of a fantastic Birthday 🥳“

“This is my brunch spot. The drinks are great, the brunch food is amazing, come here on a weeknight for a break, watch some games. I get burgers and steaks a lot for dinner. Been here probably 10x and I always enjoy it. And the best part is during brunch, they play the best music (Abba, Adele, Roxanne)“

“This is our go to local place. The food the drinks the staff all are the best. It reminds me of Cheers everyone knows you and friends are made fast.“

“Another fabulous slice of heaven. Around for a limited time. Supposed to close next year so get here while you can. Known as the best dive bar in Hull and the only one below sea level. I was promised to be amazed and this place did not disappoint! As my reviews may suggest, I love me a dive bar and this one is a classic. Wish it was here forever but plan on coming back as much as I can until it's gone.
Truly phenomenal! Why go to the beach if you could come here? Please see attached photos to see what you're missing or what you're in for“

“Sat to grab a couple apps before the game tonight our waitress was amazing and management was incredible definitely will be coming back!“

“Friendly staff, welcoming environment, great drinks!!!“

“Really good food and the waitresses are super cool and nice! The chef the waitress take a picture of how he does the spicy cucumbers (so good)! Everything I ordered was great, the lobster fried rice, salt & pepper wings & spicy cucumbers. Only thing I would suggest is more rice with the lobster fried rice. Besides that my time was excellent!“

“Awesome hospitality and great southcoast bar pizza! The interior is so charming and fun!“

“Great Pizza 🍕 great view of the beach!“

“I was looking for live music and beverages. Popped in here post 10pm on a Friday night and I have to say it was lit. Not only was the melanin flowing, the band was cot darn top notch!

It’s hard to find live music and this quaint bar rivals Wallys.

Don’t be intimated, it’s a welcoming environment.“

“Food was great the view is phenomenal the only thing I did not like Is the fact we had a reservation for a table for 5 And the waiter could only accommodate a table of 4 with the 5 th on the side facing the wall For this reason I give it a 3 star passing note fair enough I think“

“Fun crowd having a few songs and drinks.“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“Absolutely LOVE the chili! Sooo delicious 🤗 The best! I am specifically referring to the Quincy location, not Norwell (the chili there is horrible). I’ve been eating at the Quincy location for many years. The staff is great, and the bar and dining area are comfortable. My only complaint: At times, the air fresheners or cleaning products used in the ladies’ room are too strong. A different product (preferably unscented) would be better. It’s not pleasant to smell such overpowering chemicals before or after a meal. Parking is what you’d expect for Quincy… limited street parking, but there is a garage behind The Fours.“

“Always our “go to” place when in Boston. Never fails.“

“Great spot to hear some live original songs on Tuesday Nights. I’ve me some really great people there as well !!“

“Ballast is always consistent. It is a hidden-gem in Quincy. The Ballast Burger is absolutely fantastic and $9 deal on Tuesdays. The service is always A+ from start to finish. Overall, a really solid spot that I enjoy going back to and recommend to anyone looking for a great burger and top-notch service.“

“We went to Sorellina yesterday (Saturday night) at 5:30 pm as that was the only reservation I could get at one of the top restaurants in Backbay Boston. Boston has some good restaurants but getting reservations on a Saturday night if you don’t have one is going to take a miracle.
Sorellina is an Italian-Mediterranean restaurant and it is also a one of the romantic places to dine with beautiful ambience. They are known for their fresh pastas and seafood.
Their service is impeccable and they really go overboard with it.
The food was amazing as well. We tried the tuna tartare, the oysters for appetizers. We shared the mafaldine a mushroom pasta for primi, and the veal chop Milanese for entree. Just one thing was that the veal was a bit overcooked.
We tasted the non-alcoholic Negroni count-me-in and the Guinness zero stout which were almost like the real thing.
Most of all I was impressed by their wait staff and their service so we gave them a very big tip.
I am sure I will return here for another meal.“
