50 Best Bars near Saugus

“Greet food we will always come back her to eat“

“Went tonight based on a recommendation from a friend. I had the watermelon martini which was delicious. The artichoke appetizer was perfection. I hade the ribeye which was flavorful just a little overcooked. I tend to like steak very rare either way I would try it again. My boyfriend ordered his filet medium which was a little closer to well but he still enjoyed it. Our server was very attentive and hard working. She frequently checked to make sure we were happy. We will definitely go back.“

“Got to have a good cold beer and some great food this past Friday before Participating in the 250th Anniversary of The Battle of Bunker Hill. We came all the way from Roxboro North Carolina.

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“

“Holy moly! Rainy first night in Boston staying up the way at the Commonwealth we visited the Kenmore. Nathan took great care of us. Solid pour at the bar. Can I say enough about the K Burger? Likely not other than the first bite blows your mind. Quality over everything else. Great spot, will be back tonight and tomorrow night looking for Sturgill Simpson fans.“

“I've gone here a couple times, and the food is always delicious! We've had the pork belly buns, fish and chips, and cobb salad. All are wonderful! The pricing is fair and good portions. It's a nice low key spot for a meal out with plenty of parking.“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“

“Went only once last night so don't want to knock any stars. But, my biggest suggestion is that please include pictures of sake bottles (even just labels) next to the title on your online menu. Right now, it's paragraphs after paragraphs of many many sakes. I got analysis paralysis after a few seconds.“

“classy drinks and awsome servers“

“Stopped by for some appetizers and cocktails before dropping my niece at Logan airport. The cocktails were delicious (summer sangria drink and a jalapeno infused vodka cocktail were particularly well liked). Our server was great and we enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful afternoon.“

“Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere“

“Hi! We have been coming to park9 since you opened. We had not been there for like 8 months and came back a few weeks ago with Mia our 8 yr old english bulldog. I was a little nervous because Mia had not been there for months and I wanted to make sure she was comfortable. As soon as we came inside she saw Brandon. He was so happy to see her and she was so happy to see him. It was very nice. Brandon is a really nice guy and is great with all the dogs and people but him and Mia get along so well and he is so great with her. Just wanted to let you know Brandon is great at his job.“

“Love this place for the vibe, atmosphere and low down Dive Bar feel.
Price is very reasonable for a big NE like Boston.
Only complaint is they don’t list any prices… it’s a guessing game. What’s the best deal PBR or Slhitz? Idk“

“Used to live in Boston, and we just stumbled into here on vacation. The bartender knew all of the history of the place telling us how it was a speakeasy, and even went downstairs to take a couple pictures for us. My new favorite bar, but I live in San Diego now. I will go back next year. Although it was tucked away on a side street, I will find it easily. I wish I could remember our bartenders name he was GREAT ! The night of September 16th 2025 .“

“What a great night! We thought we were going to a fundraiser, but after checking the ticket it’s next month🤦🏼‍♀️ So since we were ready for a night out we ventured to Swampscott to check out G Bar! Reservations highly encouraged, but our timing worked out perfectly and we got two seats at the bar! Had a delicious meal starting with crispy shrimp with sriracha, lemon garlic aioli, cilantro then we shared a Caesar salad, lightly dressed and not too garlicky and had Wasabi tuna and NY Strip steak for our entrees! Yummo!! Patrons were so nice, as was all the staff! Andrew was a great bartender and seemed to know everyone there! Great vibe, great food! We’ll definitely be back! — eating dinner with my love with Joe Florentino at G Bar and Kitchen.“

“Food was excellent - a definite step up from “standard” pub fare. Service was prompt and friendly. I’ll make a point to come back!“

“I’ve been a vegetarian for decades. The Babe has the best veggie burger I’ve ever had! Great service as well!“

“A bar dedicated to my favorite poet? It was a no-brainer that I was gonna love this place. Might add, one of the best Guinness pours I’ve ever had. Perfect!“

“I had my Daughter’s bridal shower at the Long Cross. The staff were so helpful and accommodating. The venue provided linens and flowers for the tables. We had complete use of the back part of the restaurant and patio. They allowed us to set up a balloon arch and backdrop for pictures, and several tables for displays and games. The food was great and the price was reasonable. I would recommend having your party or shower there.“

“Really cool experience, very secretive location and interesting drinks. The staff was very nice, we had a great time. The only thing is the prices are a bit high, every alcoholic drink was $22 which is Ok but I wanted a bit more of a cool feature with my drink for $22. It was really fun, I might go back but the prices were what hurt the most. Would definitely return for that speakeasy experience though.“

“Go on Karoke night. The is a woman who sings “green eyes lady” that blew me away.

Reminded me of the Hideout in Chicago and that bar in Starwars.

Great spot, great sign, great talent behind the stick.“

“One of the best cocktail bars I’ve been to in Boston.

Walked in on a Saturday evening around 8PM without a reservation. We were able to snag a table without a wait, but the place filled up pretty fast. Just like some of the best cocktail bars in the city, this spot knows how to weave savory notes into their drinks without overwhelming them. Almost everything we tried was excellent. Refined, inventive, and layered (except for Bangkok to Mumbai).

Kingston to Milan – Our favorite of the night. Essentially Negroni + passionfruit, but with a surprisingly creamy, savory finish. The smoothness likely came from Castelvetrano olives (with that signature mild and buttery note), but it almost evoked the yogurt-based cocktails that were once trendy in Seoul.

Amalfi to La Paz – A close second. Not a typical tomato-basil cocktail. Instead, the sweet basil cream and cacao combined into a rich, nutty, and savory aftertaste. It gave espresso martini vibes but with subtle vegetal undertones from the tomato.

Rio to Tokyo – In the same flavor family as Kingston to Milan, but with a milder savory profile. Notes of miso and coconut gradually emerged, which made it more interesting toward the finish than the start. Grew on me with each sip.

Bangkok to Mumbai – Seemed to be the most popular order around us, but the trio of mango cordial, jackfruit, and Calpico created an overly sweet, one-dimensional drink. No balance, no clarity, just an overpriced mango juice.

Lemongrass Chicken Dumplings – Solid bar snack. Nicely perfumed with lemongrass, but the chicken filling wasn’t very prominent. With only four snack options on the menu, this felt like the safest pick.“

“great place to pack all my fans love the staff looking to perform here sometime in the near future“

“My colleague and I dropped in for a bite during a work trip, and we couldn’t have been happier with the food, beer, and service. The bartender, Liam, made our tough travel day so much better. Next time I’m in town, I’m making it a priority to stop here. Keep up the amazing work!!“

“The restaurant is well-decorated and embodies the spirit of Boston in its decor. They offer a variety of items, from small plates to large. The beer selection includes both local and global options. The food dishes are beyond ordinary preparation, featuring a fusion of multiple cuisines, but with careful attention to avoid overshadowing any one cuisine. The veggie burger might sound simple, but even with lettuce wraps, it was juicy and the sauces were like warm hugs to the burger. The sides weren’t just plain house potatoes; they were crispy yet flavorful.“

“Finally posting a review after many visits, including for private events. It's a magical space where every detail is thoughtfully curated. The owners are experimenting and pushing boundaries to create something special and different. The cocktails are off-the-charts, and the bites - when offered - have always been phenomenal!“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Best bar in town. Amazing bar staff and atmosphere“

“Fun, Casual Sports Bar, lots of big screens. Comfort Foods, service was good. The noise level was high and while there the music came on but it was quite loud, although we did like the playlist. That being said, we're a group of 50 year olds, so noise level probably affects us more😜“

“Wonderful experience at Rossetti. Our first time there. The service is outstanding and the food to die for. Best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. Love love love this place. Try it you will not be sorry.“

“MIMI IS AMAZINGGGG. We’ve been here MULTIPLE times and her service has consistently been incredible. She’s very attentive, kind, welcoming, and overall a joy to be around. LOVE HER!“
