50 Best Beer Bars near Medford

“I don't go to bars much these days but came here for a live music event, the Nirvana tribute band and this place is awesome. The place LOOKS amazing, they had sports playing on a bunch of tvs the food was PHENOMENAL, you order and they text you when it's ready that was pretty wild to me, and the best part of all the amazing staff that was so friendly to me and my family members. Would highly recommend, the concert was AWESOME and would definitely come here again. Really memorable night. THANK YOU“

“We visited with ~20 friends this past Friday. They handled our group like champs. Food, service and drinks were all fantastic and expedited so quickly. I cannot sing their praises enough. Best nachos I’ve ever had.“

“Food and service are excellent!“

“Simulators are legit and it feels like you are outside playing on the actually course you've selected. It's a nice vibe and a great bar to watch games or golf on and the pizza is amazing. (get the sweet heat, it wont disappoint) They also offer leagues and spots for parties/events. If you're looking for a spot to work on your game this winter, grab a beer and watch some sports I highly recommend Birdie Bar!“

“First time there the food was great would recommend to anyone who is in Boston.“

“So happy they opened in the Seaport area.“

“Lots of fun it was a great time“

“An awesome place. I went there for a movie night and tried their beer, their lager was really good. I stopped by again today just to pick up my credit card and was pleasantly surprised to see that in the morning they serve coffee and have breakfast options as well.“

“Excellent food and brilliant staff. Turned a bad experience of being stranded due to a cancelled flight into a much brighter evening.“

“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.“

“Went there for lunch and did not disappoint! Highly recommend the Lobster Bisque, best I’ve had in a very long time.“

“Wonderful food and great service in an amazing setting!“

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“Came here for a bite after getting off at Andrew station and I highly recommend!! Phenomenal service, everyone is so great and helpful. You order at the bar and the staff is happy to answer any questions. I got the Irwin chopped cheese and my friend got a burger. 10/10! Stop by to watch a game and enjoy the vibes. Oh and the margaritas were banging too. And we requested for hockey Stanley cup final games and they made the change super fast.“

“We came to Broken Records for the free Boston vacation week, what a great restaurant! The staff were awesome, the food was great, lots of games a fun, atmosphere. Definitely coming back here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. And thanks for hosting today, a sign of a great business.“

“We had so much! Our instructor was John! He was super chill and informative! We will definitely be back ❤️🪓“

“I just Love the New Republic great atmosphere amazing food great drinks beautiful vibe“

“Great little discovery on my recent Boston visit.

Hidden away over in Cambridge is an awesome little bar/taproom - Satellite. Which serves as a 2nd retail outlet for the nearby Remnant Brewing in Somerville.

Satellite ticks all the boxes. Intimate small bar, cozy back courtyard, tasty food, great staff, live music most nights, & lashings of craft beer & cocktails - what’s not to like?

Well worth a visit if you’re in the neighbourhood.“

“We ordered a Superbowl buffet! Wow! Everything was outstanding! They fought over the leftovers“

“Great open space with a patio area and a rooftop area. The craft brews are great and the charcuterie options were spot on.“

“Great food, reasonably priced!“

“500 Ocean is a beautiful property with some amazing amenities. It is in a great location, surrounded by ocean views, restaurants and very accessible to the T, literally right below the building. My husband and I had a great experience living here and had rarely any issues. The main issue we had at move-in was addressed and we were even offered a small gift for the inconvenience. I love the maintenance staff and they are always so pleasant and helpful. One of my favorite parts of living here was having an in-house fitness coach/ personal trainer- Cienna Jade! She is so amazing to work with and has really helped me along my fitness journey. It was so convenient having her come to the 500 Ocean gym, which is one of the best gyms I've seen in an apartment home. She conducts 1 on 1 sessions and will literally work with you on scheduling a time that's convenient for you as well as offering group or couple sessions! Overall, very pleasant experience!“

“Came here pre-concert upon the recommendation of friends who live in the West End. Perfect suggestion! Great pizza options - you can see the pizza oven from your seat. The four of us light eaters shared the pear arugula salad (excellent - the balsamic dressing was fantastic.) followed by a large pizza. We were able to get half margherita half salsiccia to satisfy all tastes. OMG the sauce is some of the freshest I've had in the North End. Service was great - got us in and out in plenty of time. If planning to go before a game or concert, a reservation is a must. A short walk from home, so we'll definitely be back!“

“I love wicked craft ❤️! I love decoration ! they’re all so kind and they make the best cocktails“

“Four Piece Suit is what makes it worth visiting! We have been following them since the 90s, when they were playing music in Tam O’Shanter pub in Brookline, MA. They gathered a huge crowd the day we saw them for the first time. We were fortunate to get in the pub because they were so famous.“

“Good location in Davis Square“

“Great music, great food and the perfect late night atmosphere!“

“A very cool dive bar of the highest order. Oldschool (Cash Only!), cool bartender (sorry I forgot your name, dude - 09/11), with a great jukebox for good measure. If you want to avoid the hipster joints, give them your money!“

“never had a bad bite here. Their ramen is killer. Tiny place, but worth waiting for a table!“

“I’ve been here many times, and last night was great. I was served by Vee. he was very welcoming, helpful, and always smiling. I accidentally pushed my glass off the bar, and he handled it so professionally and didn’t even charge me for it. I really appreciated his kindness and positive attitude.
However, my experience the week before was different. The female bartender (with the big glasses) served me with a bit of an attitude. never introduced herself! You can’t feel that she doesn’t like the job…When I asked if I could borrow an iPhone charger since my phone had died, she told me to go to the front desk. The response felt a little dry and not very friendly. no problem if no charger is available, but I think it’s a good idea to leave one or two chargers at the bar since most of the people have an iPhone.

Overall, I enjoy coming here, but service consistency definitely makes a difference“

“Great food, the only restaurant I go to where I see the same wait staff for years. Brunch is creative. Parking a breeze. Reservations recommended, it’s a popular area and great area for a walk before or after a meal! Wish they would put volume up for Sox games, but hard to beat!!!!“

“Great beer and fun atmosphere great bar tender Phil!“

“I give this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️ We actually came here to the Four points Sheraton hotel because my husband has doctors appointments nearby. The reason for the five stars is first the ambience of the restaurant was on point and comfortable not to pretentious . We were met by the hostess and she said we could sit wherever we wanted as it was a Monday evening (early ) We started with a Guinness for my husband and I wanted a red wine . The waitress recommended a wine that was very popular Valentines evening and I wanted a Malbec . She brought me a sampler of both and then decided to go with a Cabernet on the menu and thanked her for her recommendation. We started out with the wings that were cooked to perfection along with a mesquite bbq sauce . My husband and I both ordered the Bishop Burgers . He ordered it medium well with Swiss cheese and regular fries and I ordered mine medium with Cheddar and their specialty Rosemary fries which were heavenly . This restaurant is part of the restaurant but separate. It’s a well known restaurant in the neighboring city where all walks of life go to . Jeff the owner also came by to say hello and to make sue everything was to our satisfaction. A+ all around“

“Came here prior to a night out and so glad we found this place. Quality food and incredible cocktails at a reasonable price. Vibe and service is outstanding. Cassie and Kyle made our nights! Will definitely return any time we’re back in Allston.“

“I went here for a marathon party. The space itself is really nice and spacious due to the large full length paneled windows on the exterior. The restaurant had a really warm vibe and atmosphere, in terms of decor/design, staff and guests. The service was really attentive. The food was OK but I only had some bites off shared plates. I’d come back here to check it out for a drink or a dinner depending on the mood. There’s a long bar with plenty of seating. Thanks!“

“Lou’s is incredible, and I cannot wait to go back! The food and drinks were amazing (Orange Crush cocktail was maybe the best cocktail I’ve ever had!), and the atmosphere was spot on as a jazz club especially while enjoying the monthly Debo Ray show. Also need to shout out the servers- every single server was so attentive, helpful, and friendly; they were the definition of a well-oiled machine! Well done! Definitely check this place out!“

“Excellent waitress. Excellent service. Reservation was honored. The pear salad was outstanding. The eggplant pizza and crust were incredibly delicious. House wine was very good. The noise was intolerable. We had to stop talking to each other. Several different groups of men standing around the bar during our dinner were very loud, and the ceilings and walls didn't absorb ANY of it.“

“(Translated by Google) The best place in the chelsea area. A friendly environment to spend with your friends, partner, or a hunting night. If you visit the city of Chelsea, you cannot miss going through the hottest bar in the Latinos Falcon area. Good music and a 100% Latino atmosphere.(Original)El mejor lugar en el área de chelsea. Un ambiente amigable para pasar con tus amigos, pareja, o una noche de casería. Si visitas la ciudad de chelsea no puede faltar pasar por el bar mas prendido del área Latinos Falcon.

“If I could give 10 stars for customer service, I would! Matt and Kevin (Bakes) are fantastic bartenders. Bakes, especially, was professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He knew the customers by name and they knew him. This superior service made overpriced hotel food worth it, lol. Also, the cobb salad with salmon was divine!“

“I had the opportunity to enjoy lomo saltado and chicharrón with tostones at "El Kiosko." The flavor combination was exceptional, highlighting the juiciness of the lomo and the crispness of the chicharrón. The presentation was impeccable, and each bite reflected the attention to detail in the kitchen. I definitely give it a 5/5. A highly recommended culinary experience.

The pizza had a perfect crust and flavorful toppings, the pasta was cooked to perfection, and the salad was fresh and crisp. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful dining experience.“

“Great food and drinks! Our waitress Christen was very friendly and attentive. We’ll be back!“

“We were at the Westin and decided to grab food before leaving since it was convenient. If we would have known how long it would take, we would have skipped. Maybe it was our bad luck, because we saw other tables come and go while we were just sitting there, waiting for anyone who worked there to show up a few times. It took quite a while for our order to be taken, and we said we were planning on ordering dessert, but it took quite some time before we got a chance to order that as well. Then we sat again for a long time before getting our check and payment processed. The fish & chips and clam chowder were tasty. The clam chowder was a great texture and consistency without grittiness. The Boston cream pie bombe was delicious as well.“

“I generally love when I am able to drag my carnivorous friends to an all-vegetarian place, this location had such good food at such good prices, I think this is the single most effective way to save the animals and the environment, this place is pure quality!!!!!!!!“

“Excellent Food & Vibes!

​Great vibes all around! Both the indoor area and the patio are perfect for catching up and having a beer with friends. The indoor decoration is absolutely beautiful...

​The food was fantastic too. We ordered the tortilla chips with guacamole and the chicken quesadilla. Everything came out pretty fast and tasted delicious.

​Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for good Mexican food and a beautiful setting!“

“Stayed in Brookline for the week and ended up here by happenstance my first night there. One of the best pubs I’ve ever been to and some of the best food I’ve had in a long time! A big shoutout to Greg’s mom for the beef stew🤌 Whether you’re there for a great pint, to catch a game, or just some good craic, Hamilton’s is the place to be. I’d fly back to Boston in a heartbeat just to eat here again.“

“Very good food nice and fresh“

“We had a great time! Beautiful setting and our waiter sebastian from Columbia was the best“

“Main issue was the service. Waited 40 minutes for our drinks, then when arrived, 1 was wrong. Server less than apologetic then took another 10 minutes for a replacement. Ordered 4 apps, 1 came out in a reasonable time, others all came separately after a long wait. Apparently Server was having issues because manager did come over to ask how things were going......not well. He did end up compensating is with 2 rounds of drinks. Food however was excellent. Many other staff also confused, walking to tables, trying to give food that they patron didn't order.“
