50 Best Bars near Middleton

“This was my first time here and it won't be my last! The service, food, and cocktails were outstanding. It is a clean, and quaint restaurant tucked in a strip mall in Middleton with ample parking. The portions were hearty and seasoned just right. It is also reasonably priced. The fried dumplings, lettuce/chicken wraps, boneless spare ribs, stuffed eggplant, and scallops with fresh vegetables over noodles were all so delicious.“

“First time dining at Ledger tonight and we absolutely loved it. The food was wonderful (we both got the Cod special and it was incredible) and the servers were very friendly and accommodating. The martinis were very good. We sat at the bar and will definitely be back!“

“My husband and I went today for my birthday. From beginning to end, it was THE BEST experience! We were greeted by the most friendly hostess. Our server John treated us like we were important. Even though we are just regular people. The food was excellent ? ? ?! The service was even better, if that's even possible! The service. They have this down to a science. They know what they are doing. They all work together to make your dining experience exemplary! We will definitely be back! Thank you for giving me the best birthday ever ?!“

“Went on a Sunday morning around 11ish. Sat our selves at the bar and got greeted/menus within a couple of minutes by the bartender. For a place that is not that large they do a decent job of utilizing the space to seat customers and also make it not feel super cramped. They have some fun drinks on the menu and the breakfast menus has a lot of options. Once our order was placed the food was brought out within a reasonable amount of time. The only one thing I'd make a suggestion to is please look at the ticket of any requests made by the customer (ordered well done has browns sadly there were not)The value of the meal was satisfactory and the overall experience was good.From the outside this place may not catch your eye but it is worth checking out if you are looking for a spot in Salem,MAParking: Parking lot is in there back if it is full try to find street parking can be tough. In the lot if people park correctly there's enough spaces if not sorry you're out of luck parking there.Wheelchair accessibility: No accessible in the front due to stairs. Unknown if there is a back entrance.“

“The food was fantastic, and the service was great. They also had a great selection of specialty cocktails. They were busy when we got there for our reservation, and when our server arrived at our table, we were ready with our whole order, and he was able to quickly pivot and take the whole order and get our night going. Can't wait to go back.“

“I'm so glad my husband and I randomly came here late one night when all the other restaurants were closed. This place has THE BEST grilled cheese and the MOST AMAZING tomato soup I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about that soup now and I had it in October. My husband ordered one of the hot dogs and it was equally delicious. The staff are super nice and though we did have to line up outside (it was coldddd), the person managing the line/door outside with us was doing a great job trying to get the tables filled as quickly as possible. I highly recommend this spot when you're visiting Salem!“

“Small intimate cafe, great for coffee and dessert. They also do a multi course tasting delicious. Great for couples and small groups. The food made here, is made with love and passion for food and family. I look forward to warmer weather for outdoor dining.“

“My Husband and I are local business and enjoy dinning out together and I have to say this was our first visit here and by far one of the best restaurant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the food was excellent!

“10/10 Five Stars All the Accolades We had a group of 20- 13 kids and seven adults- and our service was TOP NOTCH. They seated us together right away. Brought our food out together and quickly. Understood that we had picky kids and worked with us every step of the way. The food is amazing. The cocktails were cute. The kids had root beer floats, so it was fun for them, too! I always come back because of their food, but their service has made this a staple of mine for every trip to Salem from now on!!“

“I’m a big fan of oysters and this place sure does have some. Got myself some oyster slurped em down and it was great. Finished with a crab cake sandwhich which was delectable. Would recommend yummy tummy time nah I’m sayingPBR score: 6 out of 7. Honestly didn’t check if they had PBR I really didn’t care cause oyster.Vegetarian options: Oysters“

“The best meal I've had on the North Shore the last 10 years...and it was chicken!! If you like well seasoned, flavorful food, make a special trip for Kitchen Table's Garlic Herb Chicken. The service was perfect for a couples night out; attentive without interruptions. Give KT a try if you haven't yet. We will be back again soon.“

“Overall a nice dining experience. Food and Service was top notch. I know it is tough on management but the only drawback was a large, extremely loud, party of around 10 people who were more suited for the pub than a fine dining restaurant and they disturbed some of the guests.“

“Or first time here. The parking lot is nearly full ... The dining room is overflowing and very loud. Amazingly, the hostess offered to seat us in the function room. There was only one other family in there and it was blissfully quiet. Service was speedy and friendly. The 3 of us got away with an $80 tab. It was a relaxing meal. Chicken Marsala for me. A large appetizer and small Caesar salad for my wife. Our son got something off the lunch menu. It looked very good.Parking: In front of the restaurant.“

“This was such an incredible experience. Our drinks, appetizer, and entrees were better than my partner and I could've imagined. The staff was incredibly kind from the moment we entered until the moment we left. A lot of the staff have been working there for 5+ years so they were passionate and informative about the restaurant and what it has to offer. & Our server, Bill, was the greatest, shout out to Bill! We will for sure be back.“

“I went to lunch on a Sunday with my daughter, brother and sister in law. Everything from the service to drinks, appetizers and food was excellent ! It has a nautical decor and a family fun atmosphere. They also have a bar which I will go back to and have appetizers and yummy cocktails. Highly recommend !“

“Stopped in for the first time and really enjoyed it. Small bar with great music, decent food and great atmosphere. We had the stuffed tater tots which were delicious. The wings were also good but very cold. Great beer selection also. Will definitely be back!!“

“The level of service was exceptional.Our waiter, Alan? Was perfect. All staff that addressed the table were professional, yet friendly.Paul, our sommelier, elevated the night to a level that most strive for but few achieve. He made our night.The food quality, prep, timing and quantity were spot on.Tuna tartare was so good.Rib eye and aged sirloin two of the best cuts ever and Pittsburgh style was a game changer. For sides we had a baked potato, garlic spinach, roasted potato and Italian style corn and all were very good. Solid 5 star night all around.“

“We found this place and the reviews were great and did they live up the their reviews! Drinks, service and the food was fabulous. My boyfriend got the fried chicken sandwich and he was so impressed with the quality of of the chicken & I got the drunken tips. The BBQ sauce was delish and the veggies were fresh!“

“I came with my wife after an extremely stressful day and getting at the restaurant we found out selves with this wonderful hidden jewel. Amazing service great food and drinks awesome atmosphere. Our server "Camilo" has an outstanding customer service all around very attentive and " Jaime the general manager was amazing as well. Like I mentioned before, outstanding customer service. Exceeded all my expectations. Looking forward in coming back again soon! I recommend 10/10??????“

“Had a great dinner here with my family. Service was awesome, ordered a couple different special sushi rolls(booster shot, Mt Fuji, and one that was purple but I forget the name) and the presentation was absolutely incredible. They were delicious as well! Restaurant was clean and plenty of space at the table. I will be coming back here next time I'm in Salem.Kid-friendliness: Server and staff were great handling my six year old, brought her food out with our appetizer and she loved the ice cream sandwich dessert that is a part of the kids menu.“

“Lovely patio! Good food and friendly staff.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free items labeled on menu. Asked about food allergies when we ordered.Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot around the building.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with activities and crayons.“

“Good Italian food here. But...In every restaurant I have ever eaten in, and I have eaten in many. When a plate is placed with a human hair on it in front of the customer and that customer has to wait while the food is replated and others in the party start eating. It is customarily expected for the restaurant to deduct from the bill as an apology. Not here. This surprised me and premotes my reluctance on returning.“

“This is my go to sushi spot. If you're looking for a specialty roll, you need to try the sakura. Hands down the best roll I've ever had. The restraunt is extremely clean and warm. The staff are welcoming, and there is often a pianist playing some music.“

“Absolutely amazing. I wish I had more days in town to try the entire menu. If they took such care in what I thought was a simple plate of nachos, I can't imagine what everything else must taste like. Place is packed, cars around the block, and the staff got my in a table with no wait. Honestly not sure how that happened, but it did. Wait staff was great, food amazing, and definitely on my "must return" list for Boston.“

“This restaurant has a lot of personality to it. The people are nice and the food is good. I enjoyed every minute I spent at this establishment. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. I can't wait to go again ?.?‼️?❤️?“

“Amazing lobster roll, best lemonade i've ever had, and great passionate service from an amazing waiter who looked like he loved his job.We were here for the inspiring Peabody Essex Museum and left pleasantly suprised with the small but cozy resturant we ended up finding.“

“We loved it! Great menu, so many good options at crazy good prices. Fantastic wall of hot sauces. Fun atmosphere, sat at high top in bar area. Many TVs, including one at each table, but not overwhelming. Just a little tricky to get to! Not connected to the redstone plaza (we ended up parking in cvs side lot and climbing over a little embankment to get there!). Will definitely return.“

“Staff was really nice.We were 4 and we shared:-Buffalo chicken nuggets (just ok, good enough)-Mac&cheese: we liked it, but not as good as the steak tips and ribs.-??Steak tips with curly fries (both delicious)???-??BBQ baby back ribs (awesome) ???“

“I got the fries and they were fine. Can't wait to go back for a meal because its all from scratch. I really like what the new owners have done. Magleashes was fine but I always thought it to dark and closed off. Now there are large windows looking out at Lafayette Sq. It completely opens the place up. Not only that but also there is a new tin ceiling, mew velvet seats and really fine staff. I am super excited for Vinyl Monday (byov and they play it starting at 5. They also will have live jazz Tuesdays 6-8. I really hope people visit and keep coming back so the babe is around for awhile. I met 1 of the owners, Freddy, and he is just a delight to talk with. I highly recommend it.“

“1st time visit certainly not the last Fresh hot rolls smaller than bertucci but you can have more drinks all good with average pricing although not listed Fried calamari light and tender comes with tomato sauce to dip great flavor Veal Oscar was delish Braciole special was great will be on menu next week as a standard“

“Had an event here and it was such an great experience The service was amazing! the food so delicious many many guest compliments. Really great spaces for events and any type of function business or family. They made the event planning process easy and superb attention to detail to fit our needs. Thank you, Thank you! The bakery made an amazing cake looked and tasted great! Loved that the bar had a full drink menu available for the event basically anything we asked for! Can't wait for another event to plan with Rosaria Restaurant.“

“Good food and quick kitchen. Drinks are consistent. Primarily street parking but convenient location and crosswalks available. Stairs in front of bar to walk up and enter. One stall bathrooms. On the smaller side but good atmosphere. Live music played here is great.“

“I love Friendly Toast, and have ever since visiting their first location many years ago. I'm also super psyched that they have in recent years chosen to go completely nut free, which is awesome because my daughter has a tree nut allergy that makes many breakfast spots a no go. I particularly like the King Cakes, but if I can force myself to try other things I've not yet had a bad breakfast.“

“I mean... it's a DIVE dive bar. I personally enjoy dive bars so i loved it. Top shelf drinks are 6-7 dollars and they make them STRONG. Most people were 50 and up. Getting to the place Can be... different. If the front door is locked you have to go through the back and ring a doorbell haha it has Pool and darts and you don't have to pay for either. Also has poker games on Sunday and Wednesday“

“Pub 49 49 Maple St, DanversHad another positive experience tonight at Pub 49 in Danvers! Very welcoming, easy going atmosphere. Grilled chicken Caesar wrap for me & Dad. He got the onion rings while I got the house made chips. Both were really good. We split the deep fried pretzels and those hit the spot as well. (We also split the Pub 49 dry rub wings which pretty good).Big thanks to our server, Abby, for taking great care of us throughout the entire visit. We will be back in the near future and I recommend that you all make it a point to check this place out soon!“

“I absolutely love this hall. I had my first born baby shower here in November 2015. We had over 200 guests. Everyone fit comfortably without any issues. We also had an area for food. The dance area was also a good size. Everything looked gorgeous. We had a live band and a DJ. The service for booking was great. I don't know if the same lady is still there. She was wonderful and welcoming. Her communication was also great. We will be forever thankful.“

“FIVE STAR DIVE BAR!!!!This is my happy place!! They are the best bar in the north shore hands down!! The bartenders are so skilled, funny, and welcoming. The beer taps are the cleanest in town and they procure the best beer. No where else I’ve ever been remembers my order and has it ready before I even sit down! The bathrooms are always clean, the music is always awesome, and the vibe is always chill! If you’re thinking of stopping by DO IT!! Shout out to some of my favorite bartenders: Matt, Russ, Danny, Dillon, Steve, Yankee, Scottie!!!! If one of these sexy beasts are serving you, you know you’re in for a treat!!!“

“We asked for a table for 6 out of the way to plan a cruise with friends. We sat in back and did our planning with no unwanted interference. Our waitress was great.. The food was excellent - much better than expected and I thought it was better than Po**aris in Woburn. This is a small, unassuming place but definitely worth a visit. I had the Chicken Parm and others had veal, seafood medley and another chicken dish. All of us were pleased with the meals, portions and price. 6 meals, 9 adult beverages, espresso / cappachino / coffee was just under $350 that included a 20% gratuity.“

“Our first visit blew us away- we ordered the meatballs (delicious, great sauce and outstanding homemade bread), fried chicken sandwich and skinny burger. Our most recent visit wasn't as spectacular. Don't get me wrong- still good and we'll be back, but a few misses. The meatballs came out lukewarm. The chips that came with my burger were burned. Like I said, overall it was still good and we plan to return but just a different experience.“

“Better than you would expect from the location. The back patio is a nice scene for a sunny afternoon or nice night to be outside. They have keno which is a plus if you like that. Downside/upside depending on what you are looking for is it is a very local scene and people can be chatty (everyone has their own opinion on that). Daytime until 7 vibe is older crowd... the nighttime is very much a younger crowd.“

“It is a nice restaurant. The service was good. The quantity and presentation of the food was good. Taste wise just average. The salsa had an odd taste. One person in our party said this was their favorite Mexican restaurant. So try it out and see for yourselfParking: This restaurant is in north shore mall so there is plenty of parking.“

“I gave a meh review the last time I was here so I thought it would be fair to give a good review this time. I don’t know if they have improved or if it was a matter of the items we picked, but there was a significant difference between the two visits. This time we got the Albondigas, Queso de Cabra, Bruselas a la Sidra, Montadito de Jamon, Costillas de Cordero, and the Dátiles and everything was delicious.The prices are still a bit high, but it is usually with tapas, so with the live music and much better food, it was worth it. Well done T’ahpas!“

“The staff was AMAZING!!! As someone who worked in the restaurant business for 28 years I was completely amazed at how the staff handled the crowd at the Freezin for a Reason fundraiser on Jan 1st. The place was completely jammed and they were so calm and accommodating. Someone was always there to take a drink order or whatever else you needed. We were there for the fundraiser, but we will absolutely be back to visit again! Thank you all so much for the great experience!!“

“Bartender was also the waitress.I have 2 complaints.Ordered onion rings and got fries.Thought maybe I didn't order them.Ask my son and my friend they said I did.Thought bartender/waitress would come around to see how things were going, so I could tell her about the mix up but she didn't.We were charged for onion rings.Son mentioned it to her while paying the bill.She apologized.“

“Culpeppers has the BEST buffalo wings and pizza in North Andover. I'm super picky about pizza and hated all the pizza places in the area when I moved here, until I found this place. Most bars will serve you overpriced frozen food, but not here. Everything is super fresh and delicious at very reasonable prices. Jimmy and the waitresses make you feel right at home and treat you like family. This place is no frills and has a super relaxed, small town bar vibe. The cocktails are great and reasonably priced and they have a wide selection of beers on tap. Culpeppers has quickly become our go-to spot for watching games, relaxed date nights, or a much needed midweek pick me up.“

“Went there every Christmas for the party. My father "Tony Allen" was a member. (and his wife Pearl) I'm talking back in the '50s. (I was just a little kid) Not many around from the WWII group that will remember my dad, but I have great memories of that club. Back then for him, it was Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Royal Feast potato chips. He worked at the Sealtest Plant in N. Lawrence and would bring ice cream down for the members on Thursdays. Always dropped in after work for a cold one or three!!! Thinking of dropping in next time I'm in town.“

“This club had a very Friendly atmosphere. Pretty large function rooms.Parking was no problem.The drinks were made with ample portions of liquor at club members prices! If you are a guest-the doors are all locked,so be sure to alert your party at arrival.Very comfortable environment.“

“I had the salmon and rice plate. It was good! The restaurant is a bit pricey, especially if you're not staying at the hotel it is inside of (if you are, maybe the convenience is worth it). Also, my vegetables were a bit overcooked. But it was seasoned well, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere is nice.“

“I live locally and didn't have any idea that that hidden gem served food in the bowling alleyI was looking for Piggy's pizza LOLI found a wonderful bartender who told me that it was all fresh food we ordered some appetizers the cheese wedges are to-die-for as are the fried picklesAfter doing some bowling it was the perfect end to the evening.If you haven't checked them out yet you certainly should.“
