50 Best Bar & Grill near Watertown

“Such a beautiful space. Creative, cozy lighting in the high ceiling dining room (or enjoy fairy lights and climbing flowers all around outside on the patio). The menu is simple but with something for everyone. Dishes came promptly and were perfectly cooked and looked AMAZING as they arrived. The servers were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. A fantastic dinner! Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“In Boston during FB season and searched for a Packer Bar - BansheeBar kept showing up and when asking around they were the #1 recommended place. FUN atmosphere, met Packer fans from all over, bartender Joy was amazing and took great care of everything! Would absolutely recommend. BansheeBar Boston Packers Everywhere“

“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!“

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

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.“

“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 food is fabulous and the people are super friendly!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Great food and the service is fantastic.“

“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..“

“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“

“Loved the tuna tacos. So fresh!“

“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!“

“First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.“

“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.“

“Great local place! Very casual vibe, great for casual drinks with friends (playing cards is great here). There’s the BEST trivia you’ve ever been to on Thursday nights at 8pm. Definitely recommend getting there 45 minutes early if you have a big group. It’s a unique trivia that isn’t just question and answer.“

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

“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.“

“Gluten-free food was very good and the CJ & Kathy were very helpful and good about the allergy. I feel bad I didn’t have money to tip much but it was take out and I enjoyed the food. Will definitely come again, hopefully I can get an even bigger side of tzatziki loll“

“This is our local establishment, and we have been here regularly. The food is consistently good with ample portions. Enjoyable soundtrack 1960s. Most recently, we arrived at 6:15, didn't get the menu or water for 20 minutes (there was only one other table dining). But the place was freezing - everyone in the place was wearing coats, one woman wore mittens between bites!“

“The food was fresh flavorful and delicious .“

“So much Tequila and a great beer selection. Fun atmosphere and great food“

“Great Food , Amazing service excellent staff !!“

“Excellent experience! Staff went out of their way to accommodate our large group showing up, last minute. All very friendly! Food delicious, music great. Very fun vibe in here with lots of folks dancing. Second visit for me and definitely will be back!“

“Stopped in for a delicious brunch. The food was reasonably priced and served quickly, and we we able to get a table right away. It took a little while for the check to come, but they we in the middle of a shift change, so I won't fault them for that. Always our go to breakfast option when we're in the area!“

“Great food and great service..👍“

“The Liberty is a neighborhood gem, interior has the bones of a classic diner street car, all narrow lines and lived in charm, with none of the gimmicks some places lean on to fake that feel.

The crowd is what makes it. A comfortable mix of working folks and locals who clearly know the staff by name, and the staff know them right back. Service is warm without being performative, the full bar is a nice surprise for a no frills spot, and the food is exactly what you want when you walk through the door: home cooked meal with generous portions.

One of our favorite local stops for an unfussy, satisfying meal. If you want a place that feels like a neighborhood rather than a concept, this is it.“

“great experience and awesome Bar Keep.“

“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!“

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

“Dining at Lifted gives you beautiful elevated views of Boston's south end. While enjoying a refreshing cocktail and a delicious meal. The staff are warm and welcoming and provide above and beyond service with a smile. The crudo we had was fresh and vibrant. The Bolognese and Poke bowl each equally superb. Whether your staying at the Omni or just looking for a lovely roof top bar experience Lifted is a great place to go. We will be back again.“

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

“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.“

“Some drinks are overpriced and they dont serve water 🤦‍♂️. Overall a good atmosphere, but make sure to ask the price of anything you order beforehand.

Edited: I asked for water and the waitress said they didn't serve water 🤷‍♂️“

“I had a fantastic experience at Tony C’s Sports Bar and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to enjoy good food, drinks, and a fun atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the energy of the place was excellent. It has that perfect sports bar vibe—lively, welcoming, and exciting without feeling uncomfortable or overcrowded.

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and served at a good temperature. The portions were generous, and there was a great variety of options on the menu, so there is definitely something for everyone. I especially enjoyed the overall quality and presentation of the food.“

“I went there on 05/20/26 with my family for my dad’s birthday, and it was amazing, we had a great time. I’d like to thank specially to Sarah who helped me set up decoration for the party, she was awesome. Definitely a memory to never forget about that day“

“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.“

“Seafood was excellent and service was great“

“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…).“

“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.“

“Fun place!!! Friendly bartender!!“

“Great view of river, which I requested and easy ♿ access which we needed both in parking and table/doorways. Servers were polite! Would suggest adding more dessert choices tho the cheesecake round was good quality. Also, vacuuming happened nearby but we stayed from 1pm thru 245pm chatting. Thanks for the free parking“
