50 Best Cocktail Bars near Wakefield

“This was the best Mexican restaurant i have ever been too. Classic margarita was amazing, 3 different tacos and the skirt steak with fresh quacmole, beans and rice. The 3 sauces with chips were delish“

“Had a wonderful dinner. Sat at the bar and were impressed by the sophistication of the bar offerings. Kyle, the bartender, guided us through the cocktails and menu. Everything we had was tasty, lots of layers of flavor, and the occasional kick of spice that lingered.“

“The Dungeon Master Roll the Dice“

“The staff, service and food were all exceptional. The atmosphere is relaxing and the menu is very interesting, especially the cocktail menu. The presentation of the food is impeccable and the staff is very attentive, making sure the water is filled and that the check is ready when we were finished. A perfect balance and what every restaurant should strive to mimic. A must try if you want to find a place that is unique. Thanks to the staff for a fun evening.“

“I got the Salmon Entree. I am definitely going to get it again. Beautifully cooked salmon. The fried rice and bok choy sides were a perfect match for that salmon with the glaze and sauce. Must try it. I also tried the Pot Roast Mac and Cheese. Omg if you need comfort food this is it. The Popovers are amazing also. Everything I tried was delicious. The Chicken Wings, Spice Bag both winners. I can’t wait to go back again. Our waiter was excellent. Such good service. Supporting wait staff excellent as well.“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“Phil’s team always does a fantastic job. Well worth the money for a unique experience, delicious cocktails, and a charismatic bartenders who are experts in their craft. Every menu has a clear vision and creative plays on known cocktails, or just great brand-new ideas. You won’t regret booking a night here (or a season pass)! If you can’t get a reservation, late-night walk-ins are also an option. Huge shout out to Suzae, Trevor, and Skye who always make the night so much fun.“

“Love assembly row…this is a fantastic, yummy and fun addition! Great ambiance… staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend! :)“

“I’m not an adventurous drinker, but my husband is and we loved the idea of a mystery cocktail! He rolled the dice and now we’re hooked. I don’t drink alcohol, but Tuane helped me through and we brainstormed together for a delicious mocktail. When the mystery drink arrived she was so knowledgeable about it!
We’re definitely coming back soon. Thank you, Tuane!!“

“What an awesome experience. On our anniversary, we totally lucked out with a last-minute email offering a reservation. We had no idea that was gonna be the best part of our celebration. Everything was great, from the cocktails to the courses that came with our reservation, and the bartenders were super friendly. Totally worth it! We sat at the bar and had such a lovely time.“

“Best food I’ve had from start to finish! We ordered several dishes to share (based on our waiter’s recommendations) and they all had unique flavors spiced to perfection. They were the kind of bespoke dishes that you know you could never replicate. Our fave was the Fluke. Even the mocktails were amazing! I can’t wait to go back!!“

“Giulia was amazing. Fantastic service, incredible food. From cocktails and the semolina cake sfizi which was the perfect small bite to start to the three desserts we shared around the table (affogato, orange blossom panda cottage, strawberry semifreddo) that generated debate over which was the favorite, every bite and every sip was thoroughly enjoyed. I will tryntonget a reservation every time we make it back to Boston!“

“I only had the opportunity to have a single drink here. It was an old fashioned, which is so eady to make, but still usually screwed up. This was definitely a very good one, almost worth the ~$19 price. I will be back.

But speaking of backs, none of the seats have them -- those of us with back problems can't sit comfortably for long. Hence the three stars instead of five on atmosphere.“

“Love the vibe! Great place to just get a drink, or eat to your heart's content. I have been holding Twisted Networking- Somerville, MA for a while in the side room- awesome! #askjo“

“Love love love this place. I’ve been a frequent regular for a few months now and I can say that the drinks, food, and staff are always top notch.

They have one of the best burgers in town especially for late night! The pimento cheese is beyond delicious and at this point the bartender Mika always knows to throw it in for me the second I walk in.

The cocktail and mocktail list are pretty impressive too. If you like the mocktail “1, 2, 3, 4” you should ask one of the bartenders to make you the 5678.“

“Food and service are excellent!“

“We were a family of three visiting Boston and after reading through the multitude of choices of restaurants and reviews, Clink was on my list to get reservations. This restaurant is in the Liberty Hotel, which if you've been to NYC it has the same vibe as the Roxy Hotel and the Beekman. I made reservations for a Saturday night at 7:15 and when we arrived the restaurant only had a few other couples there dining. I'll address this more at the end. Our server recommended a few choices of cocktails. My husband chose the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned and I chose the Crime of Passion. Both were excellent!! Both cocktails were by far the best we had the entire trip, and we had a cocktail or two at dinner each night during our five-night stay. Hats of to the bartender making those!! Although we really didn't see an appetizer that we could agree on we were served some outstanding rolls and butter. I'm not a big bread fan, but these were hot, soft, and had a great flavor. For our dinners I chose the Crispy Skin Farm Raised Salmon, my husband chose the Hand Cut Pasta Bolognese, and our son chose the Gulf of Maine Blue Cod. We all agreed each dish was prepared and presented perfectly and all three had wonderful flavors with no complaints. We didn't think we had room for dessert until we were told the options and one option was Peach Bread Pudding!! We found room for dessert and in hindsight wish we asked for one to go for the next day. It's a must try!! The atmosphere was great, the service was great (and the manager was walking around making sure everyone was enjoying themselves), the cocktails amazing, and the dinner and dessert was wonderful, so this left us asking "why is this place not packed on a Saturday night"? The only hiccup was when you walked into the hotel lobby it felt like they were having air conditioning problems, but the restaurant was not having that issue. So hopefully this was just some weird off night for this restaurant and hopefully more people have a wonderful experience like we did and leave great reviews. I know that if we come back to Boston, Clink is on our list to dine at again.“

“Such a cozy spot! The drinks are perfectly crafted. Sitting next to the fire place on a couch makes it far more inviting. With the shops and food right next door it makes it the perfect spot to hang with a friend or two (not the best for a large group) or a date !“

“Great spot. Large, spacious and Nicely decorated Restaurant. Extremely welcoming front desk. Professional staff. Excellent Margarita menu. Delicious food. I highly recommend. One of my favorite small details about this place is when you order the queso. It comes in a small cast-iron pot with a tea light candle underneath so you do not have to rush to finish the queso, it is going to be warm for as long as you want. Tacos are delicious. Just go and try it yourself“

“My new favorite local pub! Nellie has done an amazing job creating a cozy, classic dive bar with a fun, welcoming vibe. The renovations are beautiful, the bar is great, and everything is very clean.

Drinks were excellent, and the wings and tacos were delicious with generous portions. The staff—especially Nellie, Maddie, and Ellie—are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. We even had a great time chatting with locals and Scots in town for the World Cup.

Definitely becoming a regular spot—highly recommend!“

“I’m a huge Twin Peaks fan and this outside patio theme weekends are amazing! The staff is so friendly (I enjoyed nerding out about loving Kyle Maclachlan ) 😂 and it really makes being in the city so cozy. The playlist is spot on, and the menu and drinks are so to the show! Last night was my second time and it felt like I’ve been going there forever. Will definitely check out hopefully post Covid!“

“We went to Ward 8 before a concert last week and it was wonderful! The drinks were delicious, the food was delicious and came out hot. The servers were attentive and the atmosphere was great! We can’t wait to return.“

“Second visit to Nightshade, 14 courses did not disappoint!“

“First time here and the shrimp tacos were delicious! French fries were thin and cooked perfectly.“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“The Baldwin Bar is my go to place for a night out. Each of the two bars have creative and wonderful cocktails, fantastic Szechuan food, and an amazing staff.“

“Immerse yourself into a hidden world at the Next Door Speakeasy. This bar is small, but perfectly intentional.

We absolutely loved the vibe and the service that we received. The cocktails were great! Between the two of us we got a gin based drink (purple rain) and a rum based drink (lock & key) and some truffle fries. We loved our drinks, and our bartender- absolute top notch service!

This place can get busy, so you’ll need reservations and you’ll need a password to get in. They’ve been open for about five years, so if you haven’t ventured in yet, definitely put this place on your list!

“I just had the hottest meal I’ve ever had. The waiter said “That is very very spicy”…I told him to say “very” three times to warn customers. The meal was AWESOME!!! Thank you 👍“

“Super friendly and fast service right by the Garden“

“Very warm and cozy near the fireplace. Food was wonderful and service exceptional. We had a very friendly and attentive server.“

“classy drinks and awsome servers“

“Excellent experience. The food and service was great. I will definitely recommend Premiere to my friends“

“First and probably last time visit as I live 20-25 hours away by plane. I'll be here (writibt this review as I'm sitting here), Chill vibes owners and the customers, solo or groups would work either way, soul food soul drinks, real stuff, not just commercial mba marketing generic stuff, thumbs up to owners, keep going and for the long time customers - it's a gem and you know it too.“

“Outstanding Indian food, we are so lucky to have Masala in Union Square.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last night. Very pleasant ambience, good service, and outstanding food – which, as an added bonus, was served piping hot! Moussaka was delicious, as was the lamb kebab dinner.  We love good Mediterranean food and will absolutely return!“

“Family had dinner at Stoked in Cohasset last weekend….what a great meal! Pizzas were SO delicious, as were the Greek and Caesar salads. House wines were really good. Children loved their meals too. Our server was terrific, fun and attentive. An overall perfect experience…casual and delicious!! It was a little quiet when we went, but it was early. Can’t imagine this local gem will be quiet very often! We’ll all be back ! Nana from Hingham“

“Just fantastic.

My party ordered quite a lot and everything was just cooked and seasoned perfectly... We enjoyed every dish. Absolutely get the snap pea cesar salad, duck bacon pizza, and any of the pasta dishes.

I get the feeling their menu rotates a bit, so if these items are not there, order whatever. I am confident it will be delicious!

The service is really great. Very timely and kind. Offered excellent recs.“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“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.“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Delicious tiramisu & raspberry cheesecake. Very tasty watermelon strawberry sangria. & the absolute BEST chicken limone with fresh pasta!“

“Top notch experience from the moment we entered the restaurant and were seated. Excellent service, beautiful decor, delicious food. Everything was perfect. I will return!“

“This place is great! Amazing atmosphere, their steak frites & secret sauce are actually really good. 25cent Mimosas for weekend brunches. Overall really great concept for dates for going out for friends and family.

Shout to to Juan our server who made the experience unforgettable! Will def be coming back!!“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“Outstanding food. Great beer choices. You have to try this place. Get the owner to tell you her story. Definitely will be going back“

“Katlynn B. is absolutely wonderful! She's always so attentive and friendly, and truly makes our visits special. We always hope to get her section when we come in because she just elevates the whole experience. Definitely a reason we keep coming back!“

“This restaurant was amazing! Hidden gem for sure. Parking was limited. But the surrounding area has plenty. Reservations is recommended. Food is authentic and the atmosphere felt like I was in Japan. A large variety at the bar and the food was great. I highly recommend. In the evenings, a nice spot for dates for sure.“

“Must be the Best Bar/Restaurant/Tavern in Cambridge. Beer is cheap and Burgers are great, also love the shredded brusselsprouts.
It is here I discovered my love for Narragansett Beers, especially the Shandy.
The Staff are all very friendly and attentive but not overbearing.
We went here like 4 times in one week when visiting Boston, and I will miss it greatly.
Much love from Germany.“
