50 Best Cocktail Bars near Lynn

“Second visit to Nightshade, 14 courses did not disappoint!“

“Come here all the time and it is by far the best pizza I’ve ever had! Everything is great, from the bread to the desserts. The owners Sonia and Sean are the best!“

“The food here is always delicious. But we just went for drinks and to dance. This is a Dominican spot that converts to a club vibe on the weekends. I always enjoy myself at El Molinos. The DJ understood the assignment. It is an older crowd and the music was on point. There aren't enough spots that cater to Gen X. I was happy ?.“

“The Dungeon Master Roll the Dice“

“food was amazing. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥“

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

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

“Better Sorts is a great spot to hang out. The decor is great, it’s chill, and the drinks and snacks are great. The space is beautiful and the details, like glassware and cocktail accessories, are top notch. Hidden gem I. Downtown Boston!“

“Came for one drink and ended up having dinner here because of the atmosphere. The bartenders were so down to earth and the esthetics were Instagram worthy! The food was great, we had the skewers and calamari for dinner the lobster raviolis 10/10.
Recommend for a nice Friday night out. Drinks I had the espresso martini but the sangria was the special of the week! 👌🏾👌🏾“

“Farmacia just leveled up thanks to Suzi’s magic touch. Her cocktail menu is like a pharmacy for the soul. Prescriptions include laughter, flavor, and a buzz of pure creativity. If you haven’t tried one of her drinks yet, you’re missing out.“

“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.“

“Extra Dirty Cocktail Club is one of those rare spots that completely nails what a cocktail bar should be. The drinks here are the kind of cocktails you know you’ll never be able to recreate at home, and probably won’t ever have the exact same way again. Each one feels unique, crafted with real care and artistry.

And while the cocktails are the star, the food here deserves just as much credit. I’m still thinking about the Back Yard BBQ Act, our night the ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfect, and that cornbread was ridiculous.
The Fall Act with that cozy soup and the Gobblah, a Thanksgiving sandwich, French Dip–style, cranberry sauce on the side. The dishes feel like they’re designed to amplify the cocktails, not compete with them.

XDCC demonstrates that cocktails don't just have to be apertivos or night caps but can shine along side great dishes. The Acts change, the flavors shift, and every visit feels fresh and intentional. The creativity coming out of both the bar and the kitchen keeps me coming back, not to repeat something, but to see where they’ll go next.
Can’t wait for the next round.“

“Great menu. Beautiful presentation of excellently prepared choices. Delightful competent staff. You’ll be lucky to have Carlos as your waiter.“

“I love this place! My friends and I love popping in - whether a quick afternoon cocktail or a nightcap. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the vibes always feel so good. I’ve only had a few of the snacks but enjoyed each bite. The music is always at a great level where you can enjoy but also catch up with a friend. Bri (I may not be spelling correctly) was lovely to chat with! Don’t forget to scope out the pretty wallpaper in the hall or the daily trivia. See ya soon!“

“Amazing creativity on the cocktails!“

“Had one incredible night this past weekend The management and staff were amazing! A truly fantastic experience. Thank you!“

“Amazing service, atmosphere and food. They had so many reservations but we're able to fit our little 2 person reservation in on a side table. Highly recommend the flank steak fajitas. I really enjoyed the open air abilities of the restaurant too. They can open all the windows and it feels like everyone is at an outside restaurant.“

“This is a speakeasy, when the red light above the door, down the alley is on, they are open. The one time we visited, we had a great time. There was free comedy show, that was great! The host, Allie was soo funny. Numerous drink options and food are available. The bar is big and there are various other seating options, high tops, couches, and chairs. The place was packed around 7 and into the evening.“

“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!!“

“We went to Ward 8 before a concert last week and it was wonderful! The drinks were delicious, the food was delicious and came out hot. The servers were attentive and the atmosphere was great! We can’t wait to return.“

“Dear Turner Seafood Team, We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by your team. Our employees Christmas bonus of local fish was well received and greatly appreciated. The hand-delivered, well-packaged fish showcased the professionalism and customer support we were looking for. Jeff's assistance during this busy season was invaluable, and we look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future. We highly recommend Turner Seafood, especially for large orders. Thank you once again. Best regards, Team Insideout Health and Wellness“

“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.“

“Great selection and the bartenders were awesome and knew their craft. And you can order food from any of the food options in the hall. I will definitely go back.“

“First time here and the shrimp tacos were delicious! French fries were thin and cooked perfectly.“

“Great start to what can become an amazing cocktail spot! The decor and vibes are great. The space is small but not loud or overcrowded. Drinks were very well balanced. We came as walkins shortly after they opened on a thursday and waited about 40 mins so resys are definitely recommended .

Overall a great addition to the neighborhood my only complaint is not having a full bar and only have flavored spirits. the bar tender mentioned that full bar would be coming within the year so looking forward to coming back for a true gin martini.“

“one of the best meals we've had in a long time. highly recommend.“

“We love this place! The food was 💯amazing! We love all dishes and our favorites were the hanger steak, mussels (with extra bread), the tomato risotto and brick chicken. Wow the tastes were absolutely delicious, meat was cooked to perfect temperature, large portions and presentation were impeccable 👏

For dessert, we tried the cheese ice cream and the brown sugar banana ice cream - wow again, so good! 😊

You can see there is so much attention to details here - dancey music, pretty arts & decorations and 5-star service (Estefania was our server and she recommended all of our favorites).

We hope more people come here and try the food as it truly is one of the best restaurants in MA!“

“There is a great place and people. Where and when you can spend your spare time and be surrounded by friendly people, great atmosphere and service, and also you will be satisfied efficiently at Gregory's Lounge in Peabody, MA. Thank you so much guys : Guen, Charlie and Harry, you are the best ...“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“My partner and I came for one of the individually ticketed ice cream making classes, and it was perfect. We were already huge Gracie’s enthusiasts, and this class made us even bigger fans. Aaron is a mastermind genius of ice cream and a hilarious, silly human. I promise you’ll learn a lot, and leave filled to the brim with ice cream, hot dogs and love.“

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit“

“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!!“

“A true hidden gem for cocktail enthusiasts! If you’re passionate about mixology, this place is a must-visit. Saul is an absolute master of his craft—his passion for creative, thoughtfully crafted drinks shines through in every interaction. He not only serves exceptional cocktails but also takes the time to share the stories and inspirations behind them, making the entire experience unforgettable.“

“I love it there I drive from Springfield to Boston just to get my wigs from them and they have great deals“

“Piatti buoni e curati , cucina meditteranea ben interpretata“

“This place was amazing! Their appetizer "snacks" selections are superb and delicious. I truly enjoyed everything I ordered! The service was great. Our server Austin was very attentive and was spot on with the descriptions on the drinks and food!“

“My wife and I made our first trip to Boston, and this was our first stop after we arrived. Everything was fantastic! We ordered 6-7 plates and they were all delicious, especially the clams, eggplant and piri-piri chicken. We also had no experience with Portuguese wine but the varietals we tried were wonderful. The best part truly was the service - our waitress. Maggie, and the manager, Madison, were just so warm and welcoming and made our experience that extra level of special. What a lovely gem of a restaurant!“

“This place is amazing. Everything. We flew in and were so tired but it was my husbands bday so we had to get brunch… I’ve never had better pancakes, Benedict, avocado/salmon toast, bacon & egg sandwich… 5 stars for service, atmosphere and cuisine! We’ll be back and you should too!“

“So much fun! I highly recommend!“

“thanks to Ben, we were able to see all that boston has to offer! we very much enjoyed our VIP tour!“

“Nice and chill environment.“

“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.“

“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“

“Always delicious food, sophisticated atmosphere and friendly service. Appetizers and entrees are large enough to share and all are executed superbly. The two bars are fun to eat at although there are quieter tables as well. The staff couldn't be friendlier and if you go more than a few times, they will know your name! This is my neighborhood "go to" for upscale mediterranean food.“

“Thank you for hosting our book launch! Tambo is our favorite restaurant and an amazing culinary experience!“

“Excellent food, great service, and solid wine selection. Dishes were awesome and the menu was different and interesting. Our server was Dayanne and she was really professional, super nice and overall fantastic. Dayanne made the experience really enjoyable overall. Music was a little loud, but maybe I am getting old.“

“A perfect spot to unwind after work! Fun mixed cocktails with classic food. Highly recommend.“

“I had the Hot honey glazed chicken sandwich. It was the best vegan sandwich I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had a lot of vegan sandwiches.“

“I love this place! Every single cocktail that I've tried are absolutely delicious and so creative. Every bartender when I've gone have been extremely nice ! There is a back section away from the bar with additional seating which is nice when the bar area gets busy“

“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.“
