50 Best Bar & Grill near Watertown

“was in a last week Food was great and Denice waited on us. She was so attentive and so friendly. Such a great server! I will definitely be back and hope we get her again.“

“What a great meal at Branch Line! This was my first visit, my companions had dined here before. Very lively with beautiful warehouse-vibe decor. Our server was amazing, charming and attentive. The food was delicious, highly recommend the Crab Louie app, tons of crab. Presentation of all items was spectacular. Only complaint: two of us had the risotto with scallops added—the scallop was chopped into tiny pieces and was most likely only one on each plate. That was disappointing especially for such a class act restaurant. But still yummy.“

“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.“

“The place is awesome!! Great food,drinks atmosphere and more!! Great place to have a pint!!🍺 👍🤗“

“Really impressed with this restaurant! I've developed dietary restrictions due to health reasons which have prevented me from going to a lot of restaurants. When my friend planned a going away dinner here, I reached out via email asking if it was possible for them to accommodate me. They wrote back an extremely kind response saying they were looking forward to hosting me- that really made my day. The wait staff was wonderful, listened to all of my requests attentively and my meal was perfect and delicious. I will absolutely be back, thank you Audubon!“

“Excellent vibe, great food selection and cold Guinness 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Greens’ Grill is, by far,my favorite restaurant. Paul has assembled a fantastic crew with Chef Suey leading the way. No matter what you order you will never be disappointed. I highly recommend the Grill for dinner or your next function. Paul Sands“

“Cityside Tavern is a casual restaurant spot in Boston's Brighton neighborhood and a great place to dine with friends or that special someone. Plenty of television screens are scattered everywhere to catch live sports action, the ambiance has the young college crowd (being near Boston College), the music is moderate in volume and the menu has many excellent food options to choose from. The restaurant is divided into two floors – one downstairs section and one upstairs section – to allow for additional seating capacity. In the summer season, an outdoor seating patio on the second level gives patrons a great view of the traffic flow through Cleveland Circle. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an upscale dining experience in one of Boston's bustling neighborhoods.“

“Great food and the service is fantastic.“

“I’ve never had skewers bbq before at a restaurant and this was an excellent experience to introduce me to the cuisine. The meats were so well seasoned. I was so happy with everything I got and our service. Honestly, I dreamt about the Mongolian skewers and cucumbers. SO GOOD!!!“

“Had a Ball!!! Absolutely wndderfulnstaff and cocktails“

“Excellent food. Excellent specials. Caprese salad so fresh. All of the salads are a meal in themselves. Best chicken parm. Best chicken Marsala. Steak tips so tender with garlic mashed and sautéed spinach. Bartenders are so friendly and fun. Wait staff are awesome. Get there early. Fills up fast! Tommy and Mollie. Joe and Lori are greatest bartenders. Jocelyn and Jess and Paola are best waitresses“

“Very cool idea. I love not having to chase after the ping pong balls. 🤪“

“Consistent, quality pub food with reasonable prices! We only go for Tuesday trivia and it's a great time. Great host and atmosphere. A broad mix of ages but primarily college through 30's. They don't take reservations so you need to get there early to get a table.“

“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!“

“The minute you walk in your senses come alive... your sight with just enough lighting, you can see it’s a charming place you can see the smiles on the patrons faces, you can hear the laughter among the co workers with customers and themselves..the smell of the food is exhilarating... the drinks are amazing, my overall experience, well let’s just say I cannot wait to go back with friends an experience it all over again..“

“Everythings good Chicken Marsala is like candy“

“The best. The food is fantastic and authentic. I have been coming here every year when in Chelsea since 2021 for either lunch or dinner. I have never been disappointed!! If in Chelsea, MA -- give it a try!!“

“Sea Point Restaurant in South Boston is a fantastic local spot! The food is consistently delicious, with the steak tips being a standout favorite. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind with friends or family. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience every time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal in a cozy setting!“

“Fun place. Very loud. Server was punctual and very nice. Food was decent but not stellar as expected based on the reviews. Ample portions and decent house Margarita too. I didn't realize that menu is limited some nights to an event menu.“

“Landed in Boston, looked online for a local spot for fish and chips… 🤯 soooo good and the Holiday Mule has that ginger punch with a hint of cranberry! The kid with the hollow leg couldn’t even finish the steak tips! All the food was AMAZING!“

“What the menu lacks in variety, it makes up for in quality. We had the kebabs, chips & salsa and the chicken sandwich, and every single one blew away our expectations. Flavors were complex and robust, food perfectly prepared, and the worst part of the meal was when the decent portions were gone.

Service was fantastic. The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted after a 7.5hr car ride in dense New England traffic, and truly, this nerd-bar scratched every itch after a long, stressful day.“

“This is a wonderful place! We always have so much fun! Liam the owner supports amazing live music! Spencer is a fantastic bartender/waiter: always knows what we want and when we want it. I love this place more than any bar/pub in the Boston area, and I've been to most of them. Thank you, Liam, for supporting live music and creating such a fabulous community!“

“Great Food , Amazing service excellent staff !!“

“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.“

“I’ve eaten here twice now while staying at the Omni Seaport and have loved this restaurant both times. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the ambiance is lovely, and the food is very good. I love their coconut shrimp bowl and skillet cookie.“

“Always enjoy eating at Tony C’s Burlington and will continue to do so - Last visit, a group of us had lunch and found the haddock and fries had a bit too much Cajun type seasoning which was not advertised or ordered - Our same group had lunch there a year ago and the food was not seasoned - Unfortunately a few of my friends will not to return - Good experience otherwise - Thanks“

“Loved the tuna tacos. So fresh!“

“Second time here within 6 months. Last time they were good and I vowed I would give them another try. Last time there was no table service, I sat at the counter then. The place was lively and the food was decent. This time I ordered veggie omelet with shelled eggs and beef sausage with home fries and grits on the side, plus coffee. Then I sat down.

Prompt service from Ms. Edna..she's on point. She's personable, has great multitasking skills, and tries to anticipate your wants in a timely fashion. The only issue I had was with the home fries. Some of them were undercooked and you need to use a generous amount of salt/ pepper for the grits.

If I'm in the area, I will stop in for a decent, generously proportioned meal. Breakfast or lunch. Solid choice“

“first time visiting there ..I'm a out of towner from Maryland..they treated me like a equal.. everyone was nice ..food was amazing! definitely will be back when i decide to visit again“

“Excelente servicio y muy buen ambiente 🎤👌👍🫶😍“

“The food was fresh flavorful and delicious .“

“I am working with this venue on producing club, live and multimedia events. They have recently upgraded the sound system, lighting and stage and are revamping everything rapidly to create an excellent and rare environment for live shows, club nights and multimedia events. The Boston area has needed a venue like this for a long time.“

“Great service, food is fantastic (buffalo pizza, and nachos with chicken), spicy margarita was awesome! Highly recommend checking this spot out!“

“Food is great. Not that many vegetarian options but offers a good selection. Prices are reasonable and it's a safe and comfortable atmosphere. Make sure to ask for specials of the day. There are great combos to try. Service is fast and there is a lot of seating available which helps when it's busy.“

“Everything. They are the perfect place to relax , have fun, and enjoy great Spanish music and great Spanish food. I love this place. 💜 Norvia is the Best!!!!“

“I wasn’t expecting much since it’s located right in the hotel lobby, but I was pleasantly surprised—the food was excellent! Our server, Holly, was incredibly polite and attentive, she offered great recommendations from the menu as well as other must-try spots in Boston. The cod she suggested was one of the best fish dishes I’ve had in a long time. The combination of great food and outstanding service made for a fantastic experience!“

“Amazing service and amazing food The lobster man’s casserole was phenomenal and the fish and chips. My wife said was really good.“

“Miss Bella Maria - but Ken's Pub is great. The food, service, and owners are the best in Bedford!“

“Friendly staff, cold beer and great food!“

“Awesome stuff unbelievable services I would recommend it 100% one of the top 10 bar/pubs and bars“

“Savin came recommended in a restaurant group so we gave it a try tonight. It was my friend and I with 5 children from 4 to 14. I arrived first with my son and was promptly greeted by Brody (who also waited on us). I explained we had 5 kiddos and inquired if a booth was available. He brought us over to a half booth which was perfect. The booth as well as chairs were very comfortable. I asked if we could have the older 2 girls (both 14) sit at the table next to us (they enjoy doing this). He was so accommodating andhappily set us up. Water was brought over for all of us and he asked if we had any questions on the menu. He said he would give us a few minutes to make our selections and went to get the beverages we ordered. 5 minutes later he came back with drinks and asked if we were ready to order. I got the chicken penne and added shrimp. My friend got the buffalo chicken quesadilla. We usually order 2 items and split them. Both were delish and we really enjoyed both entrees. The older girls got the adult portion max and cheese, which was cavatappi pasta with a ritz breadcrumb. They both said it was perfect consistency and enjoyed it. 2 kiddos got the kids size mac and cheese (cavatappi pasta with cheese) and 1 got the pasta with red sauce. Decent portions for a kids meal. The atmosphere was very nice. The music selection was also great and perfect volume. Brody was absolutely wonderful. He was attentive, but never pushy. Service was definitely a 10/10. This was the first time we have been to Savin but we will definitely be back. We felt the check was very fair for 7 people. (I snapped a few quick pics which really don’t do it justice but…).“

“Loved their nachos. Great cocktails too. Very pleasant staff. The only negative was the air wasn’t working in the room we were in. They did have giant fans to help the air move though. I’d def. go again.“

“I was hoping to order a la carte, but my only option was the breakfast buffet. Our waiter was less than enthusiastic. The buffet was well stocked and the lady who made my omelette was sweet and she did a nice job. Bananas Foster were yummy. I think we got there at a good time. It was quiet. I would hate to be there when it gets busy. It was ok, but I wish it had been a tad cheaper for what it was.“

“We stopped in because of the cool hangout vibe. We were not disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Best Mexican, Salvadorean and Guatemalan food I've had so far within a hour radius. We got the fajita tejanas and the gordita (pollo) very flavorful, meats were soft and butter like, good cuts. Tortillas are homemade. I was the only white person here which is a sign that it's authentic or close to it. Will be dreaming of this. Seems like they have dancing at some point, and they have two bars. Great portions.

Parking: Plenty of free parking in a lot.“
