50 Best Bar & Grill near Watertown

“Branchline is an amazing spot for those who love to dine away from city noise and chaos. Our servers were very great, the food was 10/10, drinks were amazing, portions were great. They have free garage parking....(not the places you go to eat with so much worry of the huge parking bill awaiting you) The girls who love to take photos, create content, this is the righr spot for y'all ❤️ With their wide-variety menu yet pocket friendly menu.....I would brunch/dine here again and again💯“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Great food and the service is fantastic.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Everythings good Chicken Marsala is like candy“

“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!“

“Loved the tuna tacos. So fresh!“

“Lo mejor en el área no dudes de ir“

“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!“

“A cool location directly across the street from the Boston Convention Center. Swimming pool adjacent to the restaurant. Food and drinks were great. Diverse menu and service was nice. Being up so high you had nice views of the boston skyline.“

“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.“

“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..“

“Great Food , Amazing service excellent staff !!“

“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“

“Food was pretty good service was good except for the door person who said I had to pay $10 (cash only) cover for the band and then after I dug $10 out of my wallet, let a party of 4 and a party of 2 in without paying since they only had cards and no cash. If I had known I would have lied about having cash or left. Band was pretty decent but music was beyond loud for a tiny place. I used airpods with ear protection and got a nice loud sound with no headache or ringing in my ear afterwards. Would recommend if you don't take cash and can get in for free. Food was good and fries where some of the best I have had recently. Hot fresh and crisp. Value is lost though if you tack on a $10 cover.“

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

“the best food ,salmon ,salad,drinks and so much more“

“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“

“Great food and great service..👍“

“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.“

“The food was fresh flavorful and delicious .“

“During my recent stay at doubletree by Hilton, I had the pleasure of dining at their in-house restaurant, and I must say—it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the elegant yet inviting ambiance. The lighting was warm, the décor tasteful, and the overall atmosphere perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The manager Tavish was very welcoming. Him, along with the rest of the staff, made the entire experience feel personal and seamless. 5 stars!“

“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.“

“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.“

“great experience and awesome Bar Keep.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

“Friendly staff, cold beer and great food!“

“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…).“

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

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

“This place has become somewhat of a tradition in our family. We come to Massachusetts to visit my aunt and uncle and we reserve a few lanes for a couple of hours on Black Friday. They have a package deal which is a little expensive but the food keeps flowing and the service is pretty darn good. It was about $2,500. I believe they have other package deals. The one thing that upset us was that there was a $450 bar minimum. It's 11:00 in the morning! Don't get me wrong I enjoy a good bloody Mary in the morning but this is a family affair! Not to mention we have been going there for about 5 years now maybe longer and they still haven't cut us any type of a VIP deal. If you do the math I'm sure we've spent over $10,000 with them. Anyhow, the bowling's fun the food is good the service was good I would recommend this place for sure. I wish I had photos to share but it basically looks like any other bowling alley just nice and clean. Enjoy“

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

“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.“
