40 Best Beer Bars near South Boston

“Fantastic burgers, specially the vegetarian patty was outstanding. Super service team around Conor & his colleagues. We are visiting Boston for a few days (from Europe) and can highly recommend coming here for an American burger & drink!“

“Food and service are excellent!“

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

“So happy they opened in the Seaport area.“

“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“

“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.“

“Lots of fun it was a great time“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“There are not enough stars to give! This is our favorite restaurant. Period full stop.

The food is excellent - we have never had anything we did not love. With evolving menus and new items it always feels fresh.

The service is impeccable. The kindest most attentive and thoughtful waitstaff and bartenders. The people here really make the place.

Thoughtfully designed with cozy lighting and a fantastic bar the ambience checks all the boxes.

A beyond wonderful neighborhood spot that never gets old - we frequent Dotty's and hope to for many years to come.“

“I killed some time here while my daughter was at a concert next door. I just had a mocktail, which was tasty, and I appreciated that they had several mocktail options listed on the drink menu. I was a little hungry, but none of the food sounded especially good and seemed a little overpriced, so I just stuck with my drink and grabbed a bite later.
It was a Friday night, and they were doing karaoke. The karaoke dj cut my song off less than halfway in, which was a first for me at karaoke, but maybe I'm just a much worse singer than I realized lol. It was still fun and a nice way to kill some time.
It seems like they have fun ongoing special events as well as some game tables. I think this would be a fun place to grab a drink with friends or come after a concert.“

“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.“

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

“The food is delicious! It is a small cafe/shop and the seating is nice but seems to be more take out and just a small shop for fresh seafood or take away.

The lobster sliders with lobster bisque was excellent. Nice big pieces of meat, buttery roll, not too much sauce. The lobster bisque was creamy but not too thick. Lots of flavor and good oyster crackers.

Friendly people.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Really love coming to this place for weekend brunch + live music! The so-called ‘vip’ tables have minimum of $50 per person, but the table is so low that it’s hard to eat.. do the regular tables if possible. Their focaccia is good and other food decent as well. Wish they had more shareables.“

“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!“

“Loud but it's a giant sports bar. The menu options for fantastic. If you are a beer person, this is a great place. Seems like they were over 100 choices from large commercial Brewers to mid-size to locals. There are choices for everyone. There are the reliable choices as well as locals for those looking for a different taste. The apps were great. We had the hot tots, pretzel bites and crab Rangoon mozzarella sticks. I don't eat seafood and I tried one and it was good. I had the prime rib sliders. Great taste but I wasn't expecting a whole square prime rib per sandwich. I was expecting it to be sliced into pieces on the bun. It was a little difficult to handle.“

“Great spot to hear some live original songs on Tuesday Nights. I’ve me some really great people there as well !!“

“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“

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

“Definitely will go back. Very good food and a nice selection, generous portions. Steak was done perfectly and the fried appetizer was fresh and not greasy. It was a slow night, so I really appreciate that the food was still great. Very pleasant waiter, kind and checked in with us just the right amount. We ate outside.“

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

“Good soups, salads, and sandwiches here. I like the Caesar salad (sometimes I’ll add chicken), the burger, and fries. I’ll sometimes get a drink here as well and there’s a great speakeasy connected to them as well. Solid hotel bar. I do think they could have more TVs but sometimes they’ll put out a second I think when sports games are on. Since they renovated, the place looks good!“

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

“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.

“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!“

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

“I have been attended by Paige W. She is just great. I will always come back for her. Thank u for making my first day at Boston so great. I enjoyed your beer recommendation and your sincere smile in your eyes. Thank u so much. Please tip her the best you can. Unforgettable. Thank u!!!“
