50 Best Cocktail Bars near Burlington

“I recently stayed here for a work conference. The hotel rooms were spacious, cozy and modern. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby bar and restaurant was beautiful and the food was very good. Meeting spaces were very nice.“

“always excellent meals and sides“

“Wonderful food and wonderful service. Thank you, Joseph F. I ordered the crispy honey chicken sandwich and my wife ordered the glazed miso salmon. Very generous portions and the food was prepared perfectly with beautiful presentation and excellent taste. Highly recommended A+“

“A group of us just went to Puritan for it's Clambake and we will definitely try to this again next summer. The quality of the food was exceptional and the cook on all the different seafood was perfect. It was such a fun experience and absolutely worth the money.“

“The Dungeon Master Roll the Dice“

“The staff, service and food were all exceptional. The atmosphere is relaxing and the menu is very interesting, especially the cocktail menu. The presentation of the food is impeccable and the staff is very attentive, making sure the water is filled and that the check is ready when we were finished. A perfect balance and what every restaurant should strive to mimic. A must try if you want to find a place that is unique. Thanks to the staff for a fun evening.“

“Very appealing menu; a rare one where I wanted almost everything on it. And the food did not disappoint — wonderful combinations, like the chicken liver on toasts topped with green tomato jam, and pillowy ricotta-stuffed agnolotti with corn and mushrooms. Everything was exceptional.“

“We were in town visiting Harvard and decided to try out Sloane’s for dinner. What a great decision! We loved EVERYTHING! The food is amazing, service is great and the atmosphere is very chill. We loved it so much we came again our second night in town. I didn’t see one item on the menu that I wouldn’t devour. Our party had the fish and chips, pork sandwich (my fav), sweet potato and chic pea sandwich, Mac and cheese pot roast and the choco taco. I cannot recommend this place more!!“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“Phil’s team always does a fantastic job. Well worth the money for a unique experience, delicious cocktails, and a charismatic bartenders who are experts in their craft. Every menu has a clear vision and creative plays on known cocktails, or just great brand-new ideas. You won’t regret booking a night here (or a season pass)! If you can’t get a reservation, late-night walk-ins are also an option. Huge shout out to Suzae, Trevor, and Skye who always make the night so much fun.“

“Love assembly row…this is a fantastic, yummy and fun addition! Great ambiance… staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend! :)“

“Excellent food good service people would smile on their faces nice cool and place inside and outside you could eat. I come here with my colleagues and I come here with my family members. Just love the drinks. Make sure you ordered the ribeye is delicious here I love the lamb strips Taki sauce and pita bread is my favorite.“

“Food and service are excellent!“

“The mushroom stir fry and duck breaks skewers were excellent and very nicely presented! The stir fry has just the right amount of smokey taste and great balance with the sweet pineapple bits. Lovely drinks too and that's to say nothing of the decour inside, which also set a high bar.“

“I only had the opportunity to have a single drink here. It was an old fashioned, which is so eady to make, but still usually screwed up. This was definitely a very good one, almost worth the ~$19 price. I will be back.

But speaking of backs, none of the seats have them -- those of us with back problems can't sit comfortably for long. Hence the three stars instead of five on atmosphere.“

“Suddenly wanted a drink, so...

Tall Order: The same drink as the shop's name, a very beautiful one, like a crystal-clear sprite in the dark. It has the clean and mild sweetness of a three-star Presson rum, the bright acidity of a ten-year Madeira, and the crispness of pineapple peel and lime—overall very refreshing. It also has clarified coconut milk added, but the effect is rather subtle.“

“classy drinks and awsome servers“

“Love the vibe! Great place to just get a drink, or eat to your heart's content. I have been holding Twisted Networking- Somerville, MA for a while in the side room- awesome! #askjo“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“Wonderful venue to enjoy great food and drinks, local music and a warm chill vibe. The bar staff and waitstaff are very friendly and attentive to your needs.“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“We were a family of three visiting Boston and after reading through the multitude of choices of restaurants and reviews, Clink was on my list to get reservations. This restaurant is in the Liberty Hotel, which if you've been to NYC it has the same vibe as the Roxy Hotel and the Beekman. I made reservations for a Saturday night at 7:15 and when we arrived the restaurant only had a few other couples there dining. I'll address this more at the end. Our server recommended a few choices of cocktails. My husband chose the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned and I chose the Crime of Passion. Both were excellent!! Both cocktails were by far the best we had the entire trip, and we had a cocktail or two at dinner each night during our five-night stay. Hats of to the bartender making those!! Although we really didn't see an appetizer that we could agree on we were served some outstanding rolls and butter. I'm not a big bread fan, but these were hot, soft, and had a great flavor. For our dinners I chose the Crispy Skin Farm Raised Salmon, my husband chose the Hand Cut Pasta Bolognese, and our son chose the Gulf of Maine Blue Cod. We all agreed each dish was prepared and presented perfectly and all three had wonderful flavors with no complaints. We didn't think we had room for dessert until we were told the options and one option was Peach Bread Pudding!! We found room for dessert and in hindsight wish we asked for one to go for the next day. It's a must try!! The atmosphere was great, the service was great (and the manager was walking around making sure everyone was enjoying themselves), the cocktails amazing, and the dinner and dessert was wonderful, so this left us asking "why is this place not packed on a Saturday night"? The only hiccup was when you walked into the hotel lobby it felt like they were having air conditioning problems, but the restaurant was not having that issue. So hopefully this was just some weird off night for this restaurant and hopefully more people have a wonderful experience like we did and leave great reviews. I know that if we come back to Boston, Clink is on our list to dine at again.“

“Super friendly and fast service right by the Garden“

“We had such a wonderful dining experience, largely thanks to Milli! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. She took the time to walk us through the menu, gave great recommendations based on what we were in the mood for, and checked in just the right amount - never too much, never too little. Even when the restaurant got busy, Milli stayed calm, kept a smile on her face, and made sure our drinks were always topped up and our food came out perfectly timed. She clearly cares about giving guests a great experience, and it showed in every interaction. Service like this is what turns a good meal into a memorable one. If you're dining here, ask for Milli - she'll take great care of you. Will definitely be back!“

“I just had the hottest meal I’ve ever had. The waiter said “That is very very spicy”…I told him to say “very” three times to warn customers. The meal was AWESOME!!! Thank you 👍“

“Family had dinner at Stoked in Cohasset last weekend….what a great meal! Pizzas were SO delicious, as were the Greek and Caesar salads. House wines were really good. Children loved their meals too. Our server was terrific, fun and attentive. An overall perfect experience…casual and delicious!! It was a little quiet when we went, but it was early. Can’t imagine this local gem will be quiet very often! We’ll all be back ! Nana from Hingham“

“Very warm and cozy near the fireplace. Food was wonderful and service exceptional. We had a very friendly and attentive server.“

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. The food was spectacular, every dish was delicious. We want to give a special shoutout to Amanda S. — she was the absolute best. So attentive, sweet, super professional, and she made us feel right at home. Thank you Amanda for making our visit so special!“

“Went here with a friend for the first time on a Friday night. Such a great atmosphere and amazing service. I didn’t love the two cocktails I got but that didn’t really matter to me because I’d definitely go back just for the vibes ✨“

“Loved it! This place is adorable inside and the food is even better. I would 100% order the snap pea caesar and cacio e pepe arancini again. The pizza was good too but not the star of the show in my opinion. The prickly pear gimlet was also sooo good. Service was excellent and so friendly. Overall a great dinner spot. I will be back.“

“Medium Rare at Arsenal Yards is such a fun, hassle-free dining spot. Their fixed menu takes all the guesswork out of ordering, starting with fantastic fresh bread and a great salad before bringing out the main star: tender culotte steak topped with that addicting secret sauce and golden, crispy fries. Getting a warm second helping dropped right onto your plate mid-meal is a fantastic touch that makes the price feel like a steal. The atmosphere in the plaza is energetic and comfortable, and the service keeps the flow moving effortlessly from start to finish. Definitely a must-visit in Watertown for a top-tier steak frites fix.“

“The food without a doubt, is so delicious! I LOVE and enjoy the food!

However, I went to dine-in, with a friend and when I did not tip, the server demanded I do so. This was an autonomous customer experience where no one took our order we had to order on our iPhone and then all they did was bring the food.

I will stick to take-out from now on, to avoid this experience. Despite the tip issue, I keep coming back for the food! The food is unmatched!“

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“I’m a huge Twin Peaks fan and this outside patio theme weekends are amazing! The staff is so friendly (I enjoyed nerding out about loving Kyle Maclachlan ) 😂 and it really makes being in the city so cozy. The playlist is spot on, and the menu and drinks are so to the show! Last night was my second time and it felt like I’ve been going there forever. Will definitely check out hopefully post Covid!“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“Highly recommend. Great atmosphere. Great wine. Food was excellent.

Only critique is they didn’t switch our plates after the appetizers😂 A little loud Friday night so brought earplugs. Recommend placing foam underneath the seats to quiet the loud noise when it’s busy.

They did a really nice job!!! Excellent balance of art and science of food and flavors.“

“Top notch experience from the moment we entered the restaurant and were seated. Excellent service, beautiful decor, delicious food. Everything was perfect. I will return!“

“Tashan is delicious Indian restaurant in New England area in Bedford. It was my 50 th birthday I celebrated at Tashan. It was amazing food with best complaints from the owners of the restaurant and staffs. Thank you so much to owner and staffs.?“

“Outstanding food. Great beer choices. You have to try this place. Get the owner to tell you her story. Definitely will be going back“

“Such a beautiful space. Creative, cozy lighting in the high ceiling dining room (or enjoy fairy lights and climbing flowers all around outside on the patio). The menu is simple but with something for everyone. Dishes came promptly and were perfectly cooked and looked AMAZING as they arrived. The servers were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. A fantastic dinner! Highly recommend.“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“Whenever we are in the mood for more American style fare, we think why go anywhere other than The Abbey because the food is always reliably delicious. Take a grilled chicken sandwich: omnipresent on local menus, yet only The Abbey makes this a moist and delicious generous meal every time. Love their truffle fries, and whatever creative daily listing they have. I have made fans of visitors as well. A local treasure.“

“Beautiful interior and food was amazing. The staff and bartenders were very attentive as well.“

“Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Delicious tiramisu & raspberry cheesecake. Very tasty watermelon strawberry sangria. & the absolute BEST chicken limone with fresh pasta!“

“We come to Boston every 6 months, this restaurant is within walking distance of our hotel and our go to place. Such great food amd amazing service! We love our waiter Robin!“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“The Baldwin Bar is my go to place for a night out. Each of the two bars have creative and wonderful cocktails, fantastic Szechuan food, and an amazing staff.“

“What an amazing restaurant in the most ideal location in Lowell. Today was my first time having entered the beautiful location and had take out. I can without a doubt state that my husband and I will be coming in and be patrons because of the friendly service, unique style, and most definitely the fresh ingredients used in their menu. Thank you for helping me on a stressful day and so happy I finally came in!“

“One of the last true local venues in the Boston area. A Real club for real musicians to lay a solid foundation to create original music, build a fanbase and collaborate with peers.“
