33 Best Bars near Georgetown

“Been here twice since it's opened. The food is reliably good (had a burger and the Reuben, and both were delicious), and the atmosphere is new, basic pub without a lot of character (but with a lot of barstools, which dominate the space along with the bar that runs the length of the entire room).

I think it's actually a step up from Pub 97 down the street, which caters to an uh.... particular crowd of regulars. Renegade's burgers are better too.

The service is okay, but as you near the end of your meal, like so many places, your server or bartender may be nowhere to be found. I think otherwise the service was good.

I'll be back!“

“We love Bar25. When ever we have guests stay with us in Newburyport we make sure to end the weekend with a night at Bar25. It’s so much more than a place to eat. The food is out of this world, and the whole energy in the room is perfection. We love bringing our friends here because it’s an experience. Bar25 is producing what so many restaurants wish they could do. 10/10 from the food, the drinks, the staff and the vibe.“

“My husband and I went to Crossroads last night on the spur of the moment - we were pleasantly surprised with everything!! Great vibe / casual and relaxing with great TV set ups at the bar so we could keep an eye on the Celtics game… great cocktails, food was fresh and delicious with a unique flair that the chef creates to show his wide range of training and influences! I love that he personally came out to chat with us after we finished eating. What a wonderful local business that I am happy to support! Can’t wait to go back and try more of their amazing offerings! (My husband is vegetarian and he found plenty of options to try!)“

“Great hidden spot to eat. We went with a friend and it was a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Our waitress was awesome, she suggested the cauliflower pizza, at first I was skeptical, but she highly recommended it. I'm not gluten-free and loved it. It was more like a thin crust pizza and I would get it again for sure. My husband had a chicken wrap with sweet potato fries, which the wrap was good, fries were great. Our friend had steak tips with mashed potatoes and broccoli, she enjoyed it and the portion size was generous where she had leftovers. Our waitress didn't rush us ans told us we could wait out the severe thunderstorm happening even after our bill was paid. Great place with exceptional service!“

“I came in last night (Monday) for dinner with my husband. We met the nicest bartender, Leslie. She was very friendly and gave us great food suggestions, boy she was right, the chicken pie and burger were delicious. I can see why everyone comes in here not only for the food but also for Leslie. We will definitely back, Thank you Leslie for the great service and the laughs“

Our server, Joey was excellent, very attentive, polite and recommended desert. The prices are affordable and the atmosphere was energetic. Check them out- you’ll be glad you did.“

“Excellent food with tons of choices. The managers and staff are personable and overall very helpful. I love bringing my kids in for food and live music (they love the rolls). Chowder is fantastic my favorite starter. You can’t beat the views and the atmosphere overall.“

“I was just there tonight which is Boxing Day 2022. I am giving black cow a a 3 because I was shocked at the prices. We had 1 sushi roll,1 shrimp app and 3 drinks ..90 bucks. (Don’t forget a Jim bean rocks with 1 good cherry 14 dollars) and about 1 1/2 fingers of amaretto straight)for 11 dollars) You’re better off spending your money somewhere else.. honestly. I’m a chef and understand rising costs however this is crazy however the service was pretty solid.“

“Cool place. Not what you expect when you walk in. Pretty good bar menu and the food we ordered was very good. Rumor has it it gets busy at night as there are dart boards and a pool table and it's the last place in town to close. Owner says a lot of new items will soon be added to the menu. All in all I will be back for sure. If you are not into the hectic nightlife it is still a great place to get a quick bite at the bar.“

“My wife and I went to the Roma for an early supper on 5/25 and from the time we walked in to the time we left we were treated like a member of David’s family. He and the staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. The food was plenty. Can not wait to go back.“

“Just ate at the North Andover location. Service was great, drinks delicious and food was amazing. We had lobster rolls, lobster tacos, shrimp, crabcake and clam chowder. We were all very happy with everything.“

“Some friendships have a way of picking up right where they left off, no matter how much time passes between visits. That was exactly the case when Cheryl and I met up with our longtime friends John and Mary Lou for dinner at Post in Hamilton.

Several years ago they moved from Georgetown to Beverly, so we do not get together nearly as often as we used to. Not only are they dear friends, but Mary Lou has also been Cheryl's hairstylist for years. Since they now live on the North Shore, they suggested we meet at Post, which is located in the space many locals will remember as the original Black Cow.

The restaurant was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. There is convenient off-street parking behind the building, we were seated immediately for our reservation, and before long our friends arrived and the catching up began.

We started with drinks, and on John's recommendation I ordered a Manhattan. I am glad I listened because it was one of the best Manhattans I have ever had. Cheryl ordered an Aperol Spritz and loved hers as well.

For appetizers, we decided to share a few dishes family style. The standout for me was the Honey Truffalo Cauliflower. The bleu cheese crumbles melted into the glaze and gave the dish an incredibly rich, creamy flavor that had everyone reaching for another bite. We also shared a crab cake that received rave reviews from everyone at the table and I enjoyed a small Cygnet Salad to start my meal.

One thing worth mentioning is that both Cheryl and Mary Lou eat gluten-free. For Cheryl it is a lifestyle choice, while for Mary Lou it is an allergy. The staff was knowledgeable, accommodating, and helped identify menu options that worked for both of them.

For dinner, Cheryl and Mary Lou split the chicken tacos, John ordered the chicken parmesan, and I chose the Blackened Street Corn Scallops. The scallops were perfectly seared, tender, and flavorful, served over a sweet and creamy corn risotto that was every bit as good as the scallops themselves. It was one of those dishes where you find yourself slowing down because you do not want the meal to end.

The prices were very reasonable, the service was attentive and friendly, and there were several other menu items that caught our attention for a future visit.

What made the evening special, though, was the opportunity to spend time with good friends. We spent hours catching up, talking about our growing families, sharing stories about our children, and comparing notes on the joys of becoming grandparents. The conversation was so enjoyable that after dinner we headed back to their home in Beverly for another drink and several more hours of conversation.

Great food, excellent drinks, friendly service, and most importantly a wonderful night spent with great friends. Cheryl and I will definitely be back.“
