50 Best Cocktail Bars near Braintree

“Tried this place for the first time for lunch. Was getting tired of going to all the usual places. I’m very glad I did.

Food: this is one of the few places I’ve seen where you can order goat (and this place is in a mall food court!) so I had to try. I got the Goat curry (medium spice) and it was what I expected of goat and so much more! If you have never eaten goat, it can be a bit chewy and maybe more fatty compared to other meat, and this is served on the bone so be careful when you eat as bone chips can be around in the sauce. Medium spice was good for me, added zip without taking away from the flavor, but a softer palate might think it is too spicy. It came with a portion of long grain basmati rice. It was enough for me but the curry portion could probably cover two rice portions. So if you like a lot of rice, add an extra order. I very much enjoyed the food.

Service: gave them a 5 for service. It was easy to order online and my order was ready right on time. The staff that served me was kind and asked if I wanted utensils. When I said yes she asked if was eating in the food court and when I told her I was she added in a plate so I didn’t have to eat off the bag/out of the containers.

Atmosphere: atmosphere is three because it’s a mall food court - not much else to add.

Will absolutely be eating here again.“

The waiter was so kind and friendly and helped me make a custom lemonade cranberry drink. We sat outside and the vibes were incredible. Would recommend !“

“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.

The tallegio pasta was good but definitely more for cheese lovers, and the bucatini was great as well but neither were super outstanding. The clams were a bit disappointing. Friendly service and great atmosphere“

“In the heart of the South End, Toro is serving up Spanish-style Tapas in a great atmosphere with high quality service.

We made a reservation outdoors, but because of rain they were kind enough to accommodate and moved us to an indoor table. Our waiter, Michael, was so helpful in explaining the menu and giving recommendations, as this was our first time eating Tapas.

For the uninitiated, like we were, Tapas is small, shareable plates. They have a wide variety to choose from! We ended up getting Street Corn, Grilled Shrimp, Fried Potatoes served up “Bomb Style” with Pork Belly, sauces and fried egg, Cod Croquettes, and Steak. We were pleased by every choice!

Our total with 6 orders, tax and tip was $150.“

“The tasting experience was incredibly informative. All of the liquor was delicious.. everyone there made us feel so special - we had an amazing time and can’t wait to return! We ended up purchasing two bottles and are so excited to share them with family and friends! Thanks guys! Shoutout to the bartenders and Randy for acknowledging my bday!“

“There are no superlatives good enough to describe Fool's Errand; think of it as a place where art and science in cocktail making become one , delivering stupendous flavours and unforgettable experiences. Both my cocktails were bespoke and handcrafted to my taste: the metzcal- based martini was without a doubt one of the best cocktails I have ever had, a kaleidoscope of smoke, chocolate, spice and sweetness, abd just enough of a hint of citrus, perfectly combined and blended into a singular, perfect mix. Perfectly chilled. Go forth and enjoy“

“Let me tell you, the spa at Four Seasons is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality that sets the tone for the entire experience. The breathtaking views, the tranquil steam room, and the luxurious pool make you feel like you've stepped into a heavenly oasis. And let's not forget about the chocolate snack bar - it's like a Willy Wonka spa, indulging your senses with divine chocolate bonbons! 🍫 But the real highlight? The massage. Oh my goodness, it was pure bliss! Shoutout to Michael, the incredible massage therapist, who not only worked wonders on my muscles but also started our session with the mantra 'All is Well,' setting the perfect tone for relaxation and reflection. As someone who's juggled years of building a business, navigating single motherhood, and being an immigrant, this experience was exactly what I needed. It taught me that it's okay when things aren't perfect - we learn, pivot, and evolve. I opted for the hot stone massage add-on, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal. Mike focused on my shoulders and lower back with just the right amount of pressure, addressing all my tension and knots. It was pure bliss from start to finish. Mike truly has a gift for his craft, and I left feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and ready to take on the world. ✨“

“Stopped by today for a late breakfast. Truly amazing!! Chef Jerry He did an outstanding job constructing a culinary masterpiece of my favorite breakfast Eggs Benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was creamy and one of the best I've had!! The maple ham stacked on top of a really nicely buttered bread was incredible!! Definitely worth the trip and we will be back again!!“

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

“We love La Padrona. It is our first choice for celebrating special occasions often with 3 generations of family. Each time, food and service has been unmatched. We believe Harry, the manager, others in management do a superb job. Our most recent visit, we were served by Danielle who was phenomenal and so attuned to our preferences. Grateful to just relax and enjoy our celebrations. Thank you.“

“This place is fantastic! We highly recommend making a reservation, as it’s a small restaurant and fills up quickly. We stopped in on a Saturday around 5 PM and were lucky enough to grab seats at the bar.

The wine selection is outstanding, with plenty of great options to choose from. We ordered the veal, which was enormous and easily large enough to share. We also tried both the truffle pasta and the vodka pasta, with the vodka pasta being our favorite. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the pricing felt very reasonable for the area.

A wonderful experience overall! I would definitely return and highly recommend it.“

“I absolutely love Sunset Pier! The service is consistently incredible, from the management team to the bartenders and waitstaff. I've been coming here since they first opened, and it's been amazing to see how they've continued to improve, especially with their menu. Every update has made it even better. The waterfront views are beautiful, the atmosphere is always fun, and I have a great experience every time I visit. I highly recommend Sunset Pier to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!“

“Can’t say enough good things about our experience at Capri! We came in to celebrate our friend finishing her cancer treatments, and they made an already incredibly special night even more unforgettable.

The restaurant was busy, but we never felt rushed for even a second. Everyone was so warm and genuinely engaged with our table, and they even surprised us with champagne to celebrate our friend, which meant so much to all of us.

Randy was our server and he was absolutely exceptional. He was fun, attentive, so personable, and somehow made the whole night feel really personal and special. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing experience.

Food was unbelievable. Truly one of those dinners where the food, service, atmosphere, and experience were all amazing.

Thank you Randy and the entire Capri team for celebrating such a huge moment with us and making our night so special. We will absolutely be back!!“

“Nice place to enjoy outdoor porch 🌤🌈“

“I went to this beautiful restaurant with my friends yesterday. Madalina took care of us; she was so kind and lovely, helped us choose from the great dishes, and was always attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back—the service was a solid 10/10.“

“Best Mexican food on the south shore. service is great and the vibe is awesome.“

“We arrived late to Boston and needed a place to grab a bite. Their kitchen was still open so we ordered some food and drinks. The food and drinks were delish. The atmosphere was fairly lively. It’s a small footprint so having a few groups of people in there made the atmosphere pretty loud. Not a bad thing, just a notable observation. Overall the Franklin Cafe fit our need with good late night food and drinks.“

“Great experience this past weekend. It was a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar which it seems like lots of locals do that. Plenty of space at the bar to eat. Bartender was great. Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“
