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“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“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!“

“I feel like I’ve been transported to Paris the moment I walk through the door. Emily is awesome! The cocktails are wonderful—whether you’re in the mood for something unique and creative or a simple classic. But what truly sets Small Bar apart is its incredible ambiance. It’s warm, inviting, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great drink. The music is awesome!“

“Once again, another great experience. We will always come back. I'd love to know how the bartender makes the absolute best drinks. I cannot duplicate it, no matter how hard I try. And of course our entrees (veal chop, filet, salmon, and gnocci) were superb. And kudos to our waiter Tommy from NH, he arrived at the table at the most appropriate times.“

“You develop a powerful thirst walking around Boston in the summertime. This is an excellent spot to quench that thirst with a frosty beverage like I did for the first time in 1993 and again today waiting for a delayed flight while watching France defeat Paraguay. The surrounding area is much different than it was in the 90s, but the bar has not changed and is still a swell place to wet your whistle on a hot day.“

“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.“

“Love this place beyond words!!“

“Last month, I had the pleasure of visiting Hecate and completely forgot to leave a review. I wanted to take a moment to express how special that night was. The drinks were exceptional, meticulously crafted, and the bartender, Vikki, ensured that my girlfriend and I had an unforgettable experience.

We were fortunate enough to be seated promptly upon arrival, and the entire staff displayed exceptional care and friendliness.

Thank you all for being a part of such an incredible night.“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food and delicious lobster 🦞“

“This is an excellent restaurant 100% Greek food and drinks Excellent menu and service Nice vibe and atmosphere- tables inside and out (with heaters) Our daughter is coeliac and therefore cannot eat gluten. The staff were 100% up to speed with a marked up menu and awareness of cross contamination etc Well done p.s One tip for the owners - you have done all the work on GF - why not put the GF menu on the website or mark up the main menu and get the extra custom“

“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. 🚎💚“

“Awesome spot! Love the thai fusion take on bar food and the drinks are all well balanced. They also have a full bar with some interesting finds like the himbri gin we’ve seen in iceland. Highlights were the pork dumplings, tarro fries fried chicken sandwich and thai nachos.“

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

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Cozy, small, and exactly what I wanted. Ordered a Beach Party cocktail and the cubano, both of which were delicious. The sandwich serving size was perfect for me, with no need for leftovers, and the sandwich was incredibly flavorful. The bar was comfortable.

This business is cash-only and provides an ATM in the back; I had no issues with the ATM. Staff were friendly with the patrons and efficient with their service. I'll definitely come back in the future.“

“On Sunday, 14 June, a rainy afternoon, my husband and adult daughter visited Fool's Errand in the Fenway. While there, we were greeting by Matt, a talented bar-tender with a great personality & musical taste! Do not lose this guy! He is funny, thoughtful, skilled, and knowledgeable! We are grateful to him for making a couple of cocktails for us from recipes we'd brought along! The fancy cocktails and ambiance (great chandeliers) made this place the perfect place to hang-out! Thank you, and keep up the good work! We hope to visit again when we are back in the area!“

“First off I would like to thank and simultaneously apologize to the staff, they were extremely welcoming, and astoundingly attentive, the food was dope the recommendations on point, me and my family had a blast and a half, I HIGHLY recommend going to this bar, and to the staff I extend an apology for my family killing 4 bottles of tequila in a a matter of hours, you guys rock!! best wishes from California 🤙“

“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!“

“We held our wedding reception at Bar Volpe and it was truly perfect. Mo was extremely communicative, easygoing and helpful during the planning process. The whole staff was attentive, friendly and professional throughout the night. Our guests' allergies and dietary needs were looked after seamlessly. The food and drinks at Bar Volpe are unbelievable. Everything is fresh, created with care and presented beautifully. A huge shout-out to the bar tending staff who took such good care of us and even whipped up specialty shots for us in the middle of the evening. The absolute gem of the night was Mo springing into action when it was discovered our baker got the wrong date and realized no came was coming. Mo got in her personal vehicle to drive way across town to find us a cake and resolve the issue. The best part was she coordinated with our family so I (the bride) was none the wiser and could enjoy the evening. So thoughtful, so resourceful!
I can't say enough how stunning the space, service, and dining experience is at Bar Volpe. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! We'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
Our deepest gratitude and admiration,
Kelly and Ben“

“Oh my goodness… this place is phenomenal! I was visiting Boston and have never tried this place before and had to give it try since it was near my hotel. The atmosphere and vibe is great- love that they decorated for the World Cup! The service is great aswell. If anything the grilled chicken sandwich has to be the best thing that has ever happened to me! GET IT!! Service is pretty fast aswell and refills on soft drinks“

“Found this place on a random search and it was above and beyond our expectations. Our server, Makaylee, made amazing recommendations and was extremely attentive. The hot chicken benny with truffle oil was amazing! The relaxing atmosphere was exactly what you’d want for a Sunday brunch. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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!“
