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 .“

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“

“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“

We had the calamari as an appetizer (10/10), For drinks I had two red sangrias (10/10), tried the white sangria (4/10). My cousin had the margarita flight (10/10). And for our meals I had the cajon blackened salmon, mashed potatoes and a side of Cesar salad (9/10) and my cousin had the crab cake and shrimp meal.“

“Walked in Saturday lunchtime, our party of two got in faster than they predicted, maybe within 10 minutes. Great food and service. Large parties were getting hour plus wait times, so beware.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“We didn’t make the first seating but got on the waiting list and were called back less than an hour later! Seating was comfortable. We ordered the fried chicken sandwiches and 4 of the cocktails. They were unique and delicious. It’s dark and a little challenging to see but it was kind of fun reading by the candlelight.“

“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!”“

“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.“

“Murph was absolutely phenomenal. Great bar. Way better than Lyla’s. Layla’s is touristy and over priced. Come here. Great service and the bar you are looking for. Ally on my second service and got us paper towels, took care of us got us drinks when needed. COME HERE.“

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

“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.“

“Food was amazing, ordered the hotdog which was MASSIVE and delicious and a side of taro fries. Drinks were great. Only thing was the bartender who served us was a bit pushy and passive aggressive for us to be on our way, which was weird. Otherwise, it was great and would come back!“

“Love this place beyond words!!“

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

“Feels like coming home! Very welcoming“

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

“Truly great place for apéro! Interesting selection of cocktails and loved the idea to create your own based on the flavors/spirits!
The style of the place is confusing and feels like a bit of everything. I understand if they tried to play around its name but after all feels like super random design choices. Great to meet up with friends before dinner but wouldn’t choose it as a romantic spot.
P.s. empty glasses symbolize great conversations inspired by drinks; second picture is the first thing you see in the bathroom ;)“

“Great Spot- true sea side dive bar. It’s a must stop for a nice drink and history of the area. Vibes are great, staffs friendly! Owner sent a round to everyone. Mind you I was there in March on a sunday. Can’t wait to be back for the summer months!“

“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 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.“

“Come for the food, stay for the music (best 80s playlist in Boston) and great service (shout out to Bo).

This is a perfect place for weekend brunch and I am sure it's great for dinner too. Very enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.“

“You need the reservation for a table on Sunday night. CLOUD Steak is good but the sauce is a little sour so it covers the steak instead of boosting its original taste, which would waste the fresh steak itself for me. The beef scallion pancake is such a perfect starter dish. Bar atmosphere is top-level. Impressive.“

“The people who are exceptionally friendly professional. The atmosphere was off the chart in a good way.The ambiance was a ten!! Couldn't find a better holding the wall in the hood!! Definitely a casual place in the cut. Out of 1-10 definitely a 10!“

“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.“

“Great Pizza 🍕 great view of the beach!“

“Fun crowd having a few songs and drinks.“

“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“

“Try the Townhouse Special, It's deliciuos !“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“Nice atmosphere and great food and the best dessert ( Banana bread pudding) 👍“

“Best pizza I’ve had in Boston. Broccoli pizza was phenomenal and tasted very fresh 👌“

“Great gathering spot or just a place to hang and enjoy“

“The best bar in Dorchester! I was visiting the neighborhood on a Sat. night from out of town, and the bartender and clientele were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even brought in pizza from next door and shared it with everyone. :)

Thank you for your generosity!“

“Great food and service! Our waiter, Sebastian, was super accommodating and friendly. I got the Black Bass which was super flavorful. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and they wrote happy anniversary on our dessert plate in chocolate syrup.“

“We came here for Thanksgiving. It was absolutely perfect! The ambience and relaxed atmosphere was amazing. My husband and I had the Thanksgiving meal and our kids had the pizza (yea I know :/). The kids ate all of their pizza and loved it. My husband and I loved everything about the Thanksgiving meal. The wine suggestions were top notch. Our server was very sweet and visited our table the perfect amount of times. Thank you for an amazing Thanksgiving experience!“

“Great seafood boils, great fried seafood and excellent accompaniments. We tried the crab claws, shrimp, corn, sausage, potatoes, mussels, crayfish and broccoli, the seafood boil type items I just lister were delicious. The seasonings not only tasted fantastic they tasted like they were proprietary or made from a homemade recipe. We tried steamed oysters, fried catfish, calamari, hush puppies and chicken fingers and those were absolutely amazing. Great place and we highly recommend. Definitely will be going back. Oh they’ve got a bar. The atmosphere was chill.“

“Great place! Great food! Great service!“
