50 Best Cocktail Bars near Braintree

“This is some of the best Indian food if not some of the best food in general I've ever had. Tikli masala flavor was beautiful. I mean realllllyyyyy spot on. Also got the spicy goat. Perfect amount of spice. Only thing I will say is there was a lot of small pebble sized bones I was biting into and it was a bit concerning. Other than that this was truly something special. I would eat here everyday if it could. So good👍“

“What a bright cheerful place. The owner and staff are incredibly kind and inviting. Highly recommend.“

“Family loves the selections and quality places. Our favorites are
• Poe-lenta - yummy Italian
• Taqueria El Barrio - high quality and authentic Mexican. We always get some of their homemade flour tortillas for our taco Tuesdays.
• Inchu-great asian bowls
• Gogo-ya - Japanese in taco or bowl style
• Far out ice cream - best ice cream in boston by far 😉

Haven’t tried all the rest but these are the ones we love.“

The owners are experimenting and pushing boundaries to create something special and different. The cocktails are off-the-charts, and the bites - when offered - have always been phenomenal!“

“This company fires employees over nothing, due to mangers latent laziness, and refusal to back up there emploees. a good bricklayer made about 350 in the early 1980's @ chubbs tequila bar your local 7 iron workers had there charter revoked in philidelpia, I wonder why the landmark doesn't have a social media“

“Came to the city for the marathon and ended up at this spot without expecting much — it’s a sports bar, so I figured typical bar food. But man, the food really delivered. The potstickers were perfectly crispy and juicy, and the steak panino was packed with flavor, way better than I expected. Even though the place was packed, the service stayed friendly and on point“

“Amazing creativity on the cocktails!“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Great experience on the simulators with my 12 year old son. Great, friendly service and enthusiastic, helpful staff.“

“Xavier was the best! We came in on a quiet Sunday night to celebrate a birthday, and he brought us a delicious tres leches cake with a candle! It was an awesome surprise. We loved the Good Vibrations drink, it comes with gin but he had it replaced with vodka to better suit our tastes. Xavier is a great server, very intuitive and attentive.“

“I really enjoy coming here for cocktails if in Fenway. Always seem to be an able to get a spot at the small bar. The bartenders are friendly and very attentive. Drinks are inventive but I usually have them make me classic off menu cocktails or let them take the reigns and surprise me.“

“Amazing food, great atmosphere. Ordered the Buttermilk Pancakes with lemon whipped cream and sausage, my partner ordered the Croque Madam. Would highly recommend all of it. What a great place!!“

“Love Hopewell, my fiancé and I come here once a month, maybe even more than that. The food and drinks are excellent — if slightly more focus on cocktails than beers, fwiw. A little pricy (what isn’t nowadays) BUT they have a nice weekly (Thursday?) chicken sandwich special if you’re cost-conscious. Only detracting mark: beware the appetizers that use the cute little cast irons, I have a hunch (I.e., 2x time food poisoning last fall) that someone might accidentally be using grandma’s classic “wipe down” method instead of typical restaurant grade sanitization on their CI😅 But otherwise this place slaps so still 5-starred🤷‍♀️“

“The wait staff is incredibly friendly. We heard the onion rings were heavenly. We were not disappointed. However the salad we ordered and shared was one of the best salads I have ever tasted. I think it was the Hot Cold Chicken Salad. Absolutely delicious! After 10 pm the sandwiches are half price and they all looked delicious too!!“

“10/10–same rating I would give Sarma! The mortadella app was fantastic (honestly I didn’t think I liked mortadella but this stuff melted in your mouth!!), and the cappelletti was unlike anything I have had before! The panna cotta was so special (we ordered all three desserts and they all were amazing!)! Everything was great!“

“My husband and I had dinner last Sunday night. It was a beautiful experience with impeccable service. I am going to remember my quail dish for a very long time. Highly recommend“

“We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at STK Boston. Plenty of food (turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy) - all was delicious. Full menu was also available and one of my sons had the filet which was also excellent. Desserts were great too! Our waiter was Nathan and he was attentive, consistently checking in, and friendly. The vibe is always fun and upbeat - music, decorations for the holidays - nice ambiance.“

“Here for work, missed lunch traveling, was at the bar/restaurant right at open at 4 for just a quick bite. Ordered the lobster roll (when in Rome, right) and it came loaded with both lobster and a huge side of fries. Wasn’t expecting all of that, left fries even. Lobster could have used a pinch of salt but no complaints really.“

“★★★★★

We visited Porto in Back Bay, Boston, on July 25, 2025, for my wife's birthday while in our former hometown. Initially, we had reservations elsewhere, but while passing by Porto before it opened, we met Elizabeth Caton, the event sales manager. She was incredibly helpful and secured us a table for that evening at a reasonable hour.

Despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated almost immediately, which was a pleasant surprise.

Service was slightly slow due to the crowd, but the food more than made up for it. I had the lobster roll—buttery, delicious, and one of the best I’ve had in ages.

My wife enjoyed the salmon on a bed of spinach, tomatoes, and other delights, with generous portion sizes for both dishes. Our friend’s scallops were cooked to perfection.

We capped the meal with the plum butter pound cake, a perfect end to an excellent dining experience. Highly recommend Porto for a memorable meal.“

“Excellent food with very friendly and efficient wait staff“

“I have to say it, this restaurant is amazing.

2. The food is out of this world, I’ve had the duck highly recommend it).

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“I will choose a good breakfast/brunch over going out for dinner most times. The Farmer’s Daughter never disappoints! They have a great selection of seasonal specials and drinks as well as staples on the menu that I come back for over and over. The drinks (both adult or other) are all delicious and the coffee is amazing!“

“The most delicious Italian restaurant! We will absolutely be back!!! Thank you for having gluten free options as well! Everyone enjoyed their pastas and appetizers! The server was so nice and his recommendations were amazing! What a wonderful find! We will recommend to all our friends!“

“Excellent staff, cold beer and stiff drinks but don’t do shots with the 22 year olds at the bar! Fun times at this place!“

“Excellent food and service! Our waiter Dean was top notch! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I went to Boston and I just had to go to a tapas place since I love tapas places. I absolutely love the ambience of this place, we went on a Monday and it was pretty packed. We ordered bacalao croquettes, grilled octopus, gambas al ajillo, papas bravas. I have to say, my favorite tapas was the bacalao croquettes and the papas bravas - I know they have two kind of papas bravas, one with chorizo and and the regular- we ordered the regular.
I was pretty full and happy, this is a must if you decide to visit Boston!“

“I celebrated my 52nd birthday today with my daughter. Our service was amazing. I recommend this place to everyone“

“Our server Chris was amazing. Really really great. I've dined many places and very few have a gem like him. He was professional, on top of everything, welcoming, and I think for the whole place he was the only server/bartender they had. Really great time there thanks to Chris.“

“Fabulous food. Great coffee. What more can you ask for???“

“The food was so delicious and the margaritas were the best. But the night was really topped off with having such an amazing server. Ask for Gilly. If ever in Boston make this a must!“

“Always a treat to come here! The brick chicken, bolognese, and various rotating seafood options are favourites for sure. We've been coming here a long time, since the Townshend days, and it's one of the best vibes around. Cocktails are always fantastic too!“

“Beautiful spot. Had our anni dinner and we had an intimate corner spot. It was lovely and everything we ordered was 10/10 in every way (salmon and roast chicken entrees with Brussels sprouts and truffle potato pavé sides). Ordered espresso martini off the dessert menu as my main drink for the night and the Alaskan drink was also great/strong. Right next to Offsuit!“

“Enjoyed a delicious brunch here today - they also serve their regular menu all day. Staff was friendly, beautiful space.“
