50 Best Bars near Watertown

“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.“

“Had dinner at Lucy's while adventuring and it was hands down incredible! Everything was outstanding. The staff, the food, the environment, right down to the ice cold water and beer! 🤣 I will definetly be going again, because I wanted everything on the menu! Thank you Lucy's!“

“Go on Karoke night. The is a woman who sings “green eyes lady” that blew me away.

Reminded me of the Hideout in Chicago and that bar in Starwars.

Great spot, great sign, great talent behind the stick.“

“VERY cool vibes! Even cooler this place is behind a random door in the alley of an alley.
The drinks were good, but $22/drink made us stay for only one. We thought there would be something cool like dry ice or something for that price. One of our drinks came in a horn, which was cool. The other was basically an espresso martini. The bartender put on a neat show.
It felt like there needed to be one more bartender and one less server. It’s a very small room so the servers seemed like they were standing around a bit waiting for the bartender. We waited a pretty long time for our drinks.

Overall, super cool. But it feels like somewhere you either go once, or go back to show your friends“

“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.“

“It’s da bomb. If you are ever in the area, don’t miss it ✌🏼♥️😎“

“Once again, another great experience. We will always come back. I'd love to know how the bartender makes the absolute best drinks. I cannot duplicate it, no matter how hard I try. And of course our entrees (veal chop, filet, salmon, and gnocci) were superb. And kudos to our waiter Tommy from NH, he arrived at the table at the most appropriate times.“

“Food was excellent - a definite step up from “standard” pub fare. Service was prompt and friendly. I’ll make a point to come back!“

“Excellent as always. Makings of a fantastic Birthday 🥳“

“We stopped in on the way home from the airport, and it was amazing! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere and food were awesome. I highly recommend the Mickey’s Chicken special and the red sangria which was a deep dark red- as sangria should be. Yum! My children loved our Irish waitress who Made them laugh and feel special. This restaurant is over an hour from where we live, but there is no doubt we will travel back often. Wonderful experience!“

Food has always been prepared as we like it. Quality, Quantity and presentation prevails. Thanks to the entire staff for making each trip to a game a pleasure win or loose.“
