25 Best Cocktail Bars near Manchester By The Sea

“American Fusion, Friendly staff, Scratch Kitchen, Creative Cocktails.“

“My husband and I came to Salem for our first wedding anniversary, and this spot is just amazing. Absolutely a high point in our visit so far!!

The cocktail menu alone is amazing - unique and well thought out. As much as I love any variety of Moscow Mule, you won't find that kind of thing on the menu here. Every cocktail is totally unique and creative.

And the fact that Edward Scissorhands was playing on their big screen during our visit is just icing on the cake!

If you're looking for a unique, memorable experience, THIS is the spot. We'll be back before we leave town!“

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“

“Great pizza, awesome staff!!“

“We love the atmosphere, service, variety of choice of food, desserts and dining experience. We live along the coast in Salisbury, Mass where there are alot of good seafood restaurants, but Seaport Grill is our #1 place.“

“Wonderful food and great vibe. The owner/check is really vested in his menu and in his customers. Tapas style and 3 items was certainly enough fir 2! Food is so delicious.“

“Had an amazing dinner highly recommended.. I will definitely be back“

“The food was great, but what really made this dining experience so phenomenal & memorable was our waitress Fabiola. Such a bright personality that made this night with friends one I’ll remember forever.“

“Taco Tuesday has the best choices of fillings. I had a pork belly and a haddock. Both so different and quite tasty. You can’t beat the price. Oh, and one of the biggest selections of tequilas on the North Shore!“

“I can’t say enough great things about The Babe! Our food was excellent, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I had the Mr. Falafel sandwich, and I was still talking about it days later! It was so good—perfectly balanced flavors with just the right amount of tzatziki sauce (heavenly), all wrapped up in a soft wrap. The one recommendation I would make would be to cut the falafels into four pieces just to make it easier to eat. But to be honest, it didn’t stop me from devouring the whole thing, and I will be back to eat another one! But it will be a tossup—do I get the truffle burger or do I get another Mr. Falafel? My boyfriend got the Reuben, and he said it was incredible as well! Our bartender was fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and rocking these awesome little heart glasses. She really knew her stuff when it came to cocktails. They actually serve orange Combier, which I feel is the cream of the crop for making the best margarita! She made us a fantastic margarita, and I also had another drink with grapefruit (I don’t remember the name), but it was delicious too! We sat at the bar and had the chance to meet one of the owners, who was so friendly and kind. The whole place has such a welcoming vibe, and I can only imagine how fun it must be when they have live music. I really can’t wait to go back!!“

“I absolutely love everything about La Qchara in Beverly, Massachusetts! It’s a must-visit for those who love Spanish cuisine. The restaurant masterfully blends traditional dishes with modern flair, offering an enticing menu with something for everyone. This restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with ambient lighting and rustic decor, it creates a welcoming ambiance, enhanced by a passionate staff. Experience Spain's vibrant flavors locally. They’ve got it all and I am a fan for life! Keep up the great work!“

“Love this place. Can’t wait to come back“

“Had to scratch a taco itch and found this place had opened recently. Tried the birria and pechuga tacos and can't say enough positive things - fresh-tasting and flavorful. Hats off to the staff and chef! We'll be back to sample more soon.“

“Place is so unique! Love the antique feel! Had a wonderful time dining on the patio with friends!“

“We opted for something different this time and ordered a bunch of small plates to share between two of us since they were 1/2 off. The nachos were a solid pile of meh when they came out. Literally a single lump. The chowder was a watery, excessive celery-flavored mess. The chicken tacos, buffalo chicken tenders and pretzel bites were ok, although I missed the ubiquitous celery and carrot sticks with the wings. Overall, a solid 3 of 5. I know how tasty food can be here. No more small plates for us.“

“First time here we’ll be back!“
