50 Best Beer Bars near Somerville

“Food and service are excellent!“

“Good location in Davis Square“

“Wow! I am no vegetarian but this place is great! The impossible burger was great and the fries were delicious (especially the dill pickle sauce). I'm gonna have to try other sauces next time!
Located in Bow Market so the courtyard is super nice in the summer.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“So happy they opened in the Seaport area.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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 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.“

“Such a cute spot! Walking distance from us in Quincy center. Free validated parking in the Atrius health garage (see dottys website for exact info). I had a hard time deciding on which cocktail to get so I asked our waitress (I think her name was Kayla? So sorry!) for a recommendation and it hit the spot! We got tinned fish, delicious albeit a bit overpriced, bacon wrapped stuffed dates- get these if you like blue cheese because it was strong and split the cod curry which was so yummy!“

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

“Searched for brick oven pizza in the North End. This was one of the first ones to pop up and I remember it getting a high score and a good review from Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports pizza reviews. My girlfriend and her son both loved it too. Very generous with the toppings. Sauce is amazing and fresh tasting. Great crust too. Staff was friendly. Didn't take long either. The World Cup final was going on so the atmosphere was fun and going crazy when Spain scored.“

“Lots of fun it was a great time“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Great food, reasonably priced!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“3.8 rating is criminal...4.4 at least! Ordering both food and beverages is as soon as many other places, however, where do you know what time you get your drinks much quicker here than most. The beer selection is on point and the staff is always current on what's available or 86'd. Bonus it's great to show up here when there's a band playing next door.“

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

“Came here with our small group. Service was wonderful. Beer selections - Awesome. I went with the Staff's Selection Beer Flight - it didn't miss! We shared the blue cheese burger, which was cooked perfectly and a Ceasar Salad. The later was good, but different. I've never had a Ceasar with olives and hard boiled egg. Will definitely be back!“

“(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. Buena música y un ambiente 100% latino.“

“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.“

“Solid food, generous portion sizes, and excellent service (even during the busy hours). That said, their floor space is poorly designed with very little space at the front of the restaurant and the waiting area/countertops by the bar. Be prepared to wait and rather uncomfortablly during busy hours, as people often need to use the restroom while passing you by, so you have to lean back often to give space 😂“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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 place had a great ambiance, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was exceptional – I tried the pizza, pasta, and salad, and each dish was delicious. 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!“

“I visited here while attending a conference. I did not intend to come here, but i was just too hungry and chose the closest one.
Maria was very friendly and quick, we felt like we were welcomed here.
We ordered two kids menus, cod reuben, chicken sandwich, salad (forgot the name). Honestly.... All super tasty! Cod reuben was my favorite of all. I am not sure why rate here was low but i was very satisfied with service of staff, and food quality. I would visit again for sure .)“

“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.“

“Decided to come here for a game. Definitely didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was good and the service was better than expected especially because of how busy it was. The food was good and came out relatively quick as well. I would recommend anyone around the area to come here to enjoy some tacos.“

“Very good food nice and fresh“

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