Cocktail Bars near Weymouth

“We live right down the street but it was our first time visiting Ocho! Christmas decor was so fun, live entertainment was great, service was fast & drinks were delicious and strong! Our server was Carlos- give that guy a raise!!! We will be back :)“

“I had a turkey dinner for $29.00 that coud have served 3 people. So much i had to take some home, it was great.“

“These bartenders were amazing at a friends wedding recently!!! Due to COVID, we couldn’t go up to the bar to order drinks and that worried me initially, thinking there would be a long wait for a server with a ton of guests. I was terribly wrong. Every single server was personable and the service was phenomenal. Alex in particular was amazing!!! The high-level service was even more amazing considering they said it was their first wedding since COVID started. My cup was never empty for more than one minute. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for bartenders for a special event.“

“Genuinely my favorite restaurant in Boston these days. I've been here more times than I'd like to admit - Food, drinks, customer service and ambiance are just unmatched. Absolutely need a reservation - the walk-in line is always long when I've gone.“

“food was amazing. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥“

“Better Sorts is a great spot to hang out. The decor is great, it’s chill, and the drinks and snacks are great. The space is beautiful and the details, like glassware and cocktail accessories, are top notch. Hidden gem I. Downtown Boston!“

“Service is excellent and my salmon was perfect. Apps are good but smaller in size. Beer is cold. I would recommend you visit.“

“Wink and Nod delivers exactly the kind of speakeasy experience you hope for when you duck down into a hidden bar. The real standout of the night was our bartender Jonathan — genuinely one of the best I've encountered in Boston. Personality-wise, he struck that perfect balance of engaging and attentive without ever hovering or making the conversation feel forced.
What impressed me most was his depth of knowledge. He walked us through several of the scratch-made liqueurs they craft in-house, explaining the botanicals and infusion process behind each one like he'd built them himself (because he probably had). When we couldn't decide between a few options, he took the time to actually taste-test ingredients with us and adjust recommendations based on what we liked — real patience, no rushing us along even as the place got busier.
The cocktails themselves were excellent: well-balanced, creative, and clearly made with care rather than just poured from a formula.
Then came the food. James Beard nominee Chef Valentine Howell's pop-up, Black Cat, brings a unique fusion of Afro-Caribbean flavors to the menu, and eating here felt like a spiritual experience. The menu offered so many tempting choices it was hard to narrow down. We started with the goat patties as an appetizer — seasoned to perfection, moist, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the griot, twice-cooked pork belly served with pikliz, pickled onion, and ti malice. It was tender and bursting with flavor, the kind of dish that makes you slow down and savor every bite.
We finished with the Jamaican ginger cake, topped with cream cheese frosting and a toasted coconut crumble — totally sumptuous and the perfect ending to the meal.
The owner even stopped by our table to check in and make sure we were enjoying ourselves — such a kind, welcoming touch that made the whole night feel even more special.
The drinks, the food, and truly exceptional service — made it well worth it. Will definitely be back. Hands down, 5 stars.“

“So much fun! I highly recommend!“

“Great experience on the simulators with my 12 year old son. Great, friendly service and enthusiastic, helpful staff.“

“Piatti buoni e curati , cucina meditteranea ben interpretata“

“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!“

“Great little bar which we stumbled across and then became our favourite! Great beer, great service, great food (wings and sliders were both amazing) and some top tunes. Save room for the chocolate brownie. It's epic. Love this place!!“

“Amazing creativity on the cocktails!“

“Had one incredible night this past weekend The management and staff were amazing! A truly fantastic experience. Thank you!“

“Great menu. Beautiful presentation of excellently prepared choices. Delightful competent staff. You’ll be lucky to have Carlos as your waiter.“

“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.“

“May 2026
I was anticipating an amazing wagyu beef burger given the $35 price tag, but it was very ordinary and forgettable. It was cooked well-done even though I asked for medium-well, and it had absolutely no flavor, not even a hint of salt and pepper. The fries were dry and not very good either. But the corn bread was absolutely delightful and probably some of the best I’ve ever had, and the pita bread with hummus and pimento cheese was delicious, as well. Overall, about 4 stars considering the appetizers saved the day, as the wagyu burger was a flop.“

“We were in Boston for one evening and stumbled upon this place - and we were so thrilled that we did! Four of us sat at the bar and received excellent service and expertly mixed cocktails. The ambiance was perfect - from the lighting to the decor. Highly recommend.“

“The wait staff is incredibly friendly. We heard the onion rings were heavenly. We were not disappointed. However the salad we ordered and shared was one of the best salads I have ever tasted. I think it was the Hot Cold Chicken Salad. Absolutely delicious! After 10 pm the sandwiches are half price and they all looked delicious too!!“

“Amazing food, great atmosphere. Ordered the Buttermilk Pancakes with lemon whipped cream and sausage, my partner ordered the Croque Madam. Would highly recommend all of it. What a great place!!“

“My boyfriend and I love coming here! It's the perfect summer spot with amazing food and drinks and the most gorgeous view. We always come and see Matt and receive exceptional service every time! Definitely worth checking out this summer season!!“

“I love it there I drive from Springfield to Boston just to get my wigs from them and they have great deals“

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit“

“My family and I celebrated my 50th birthday with brunch at the Long Bar, and I would like to commend our server, Roberssi. Her exceptional attention to detail, politeness, and pleasant hospitality were truly remarkable. She made us feel incredibly welcome, and if this level of service is indicative of your establishment's standards, we indubitably plan to return.“

“Nice place to enjoy outdoor porch 🌤🌈“

“My husband and I had dinner last Sunday night. It was a beautiful experience with impeccable service. I am going to remember my quail dish for a very long time. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything was fresh and delicious. A special shoutout to the manager, John, for making sure everything was perfect and for providing outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“one of the best meals we've had in a long time. highly recommend.“

“Nice and chill environment.“

“Food was great and delicious and the staff were excellent“

“I had the Hot honey glazed chicken sandwich. It was the best vegan sandwich I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had a lot of vegan sandwiches.“

“Baleia is a small Portugese Tapas restaurant, serving up a wide range of dishes in the Ink Block area. The dining room has a polished, lively energy with a stylish atmosphere that makes it feel equally suited for a date night, special occasion, or a longer dinner with friends. The space leans upscale while still feeling welcoming.

The menu takes Portuguese flavors and presents them through a more modern lens, with several dishes consistently standing out. The Portuguese sweet rolls appear to be one of the signatures of the restaurant, with a great taste to start off the meal. The Shrimp Mozambique is another standout, served with a flavorful broth that works well when soaked up with extra bread. For those looking to explore more of the menu, the tasting option offers a broad introduction to the kitchen's approach, though many diners seem equally happy building their own meal from individual dishes.

Service is one of Baleia’s strongest qualities. Staff are warm welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about guiding guests through the menu. The dining experience feels polished without being stiff, with attentive pacing and thoughtful recommendations contributing as much to the meal as the food itself. While opinions occasionally vary on specific dishes or seasoning levels, the consistency of the hospitality stands out across a wide range of visits.

What makes Baleia especially appealing is how it combines the comfort and familiarity of Portuguese cooking with a more contemporary restaurant experience. Between the inviting atmosphere, strong service, and a menu filled with dishes designed for sharing and exploration, it feels like a restaurant built for memorable nights out rather than quick meals. Whether you're stopping in for a few small plates and cocktails or settling in for a full tasting experience, Baleia delivers the kind of experience that keeps people planning a return visit before they've even left the table.“

“We recently celebrated our son baptism at Trade, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From our very first conversation with Inna, we felt taken care of. She was incredibly responsive, organized, and helpful in guiding us through the planning process, making everything feel effortless and stress-free.

On the day of the event, the hospitality was exceptional. The servers were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure both we and our guests had a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it. The Rosa Ritas and Espresso Martinis were huge hits and quickly became favorites of the afternoon!

The atmosphere was warm, stylish, and welcoming, creating the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful family celebration. Every detail came together beautifully, and we are so grateful to the entire Trade team for helping make our celebration so special.

I cannot recommend Trade highly enough. If you’re looking for a venue for a private event, family celebration, or special occasion Trade is the place to go!“

“Excellent food with very friendly and efficient wait staff“

“Here for work, missed lunch traveling, was at the bar/restaurant right at open at 4 for just a quick bite. Ordered the lobster roll (when in Rome, right) and it came loaded with both lobster and a huge side of fries. Wasn’t expecting all of that, left fries even. Lobster could have used a pinch of salt but no complaints really.“

“A perfect spot to unwind after work! Fun mixed cocktails with classic food. Highly recommend.“

“Before I forget I have to give a big shoutout to my craft bartender I had the pleasure of meeting his name is Lars just like Mars was really amazing drinks I am am still talking about a day later great conversation and his hospitality 10 out of 10 lets go please make sure you stop by if your in town. Thanks again“

“Went for Dinner and the atmosphere is very intimate. Definitely need reservations and to specify where you want to sit in advanced. We had seating at the bar and were placed very close to their people. They needed more spacing for item I had no where to put my purse and had to hold it i my lap the whole time but i did notice that the bar seating by the window had hooks for purses under the counter that the bar didn’t have. If you jot into being close to your neighbor aid stead clear but for a date night it also puts you close to your date and was nice for that. The food is small plates and we had about 4 different small plates we shared which were absolutely delicious. The best were the Empanada and croquetas de bacalao. we also got the special which was a paella made with fideos which was really good. I didn’t try any of the drink but my date got two beer and liked both of them. The service itself was good the server took time to explain how the menu worked and was quick to tell us if we wanted a paella it does take some time to make and even gave some recommendations. There was only one issue which was we’re having the wrong dishes brought over to us that we meant for the people sat next to us and that seemed to be happens in got other seated at the bar as well. Over all grey choice for date night if you’re okay with smaller spaces.“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“Probably one of the best meals ever. From oysters to bread pudding! So amazing! A burst of flavor in every bite! Go out of your way if you have to , you won’t regret! 💕“

“Nice authentic Mexican food!!! Great atmosphere & Drinks are great!!! Speak Easy theme!“

“Everything from start to finish was lovely. The decor is perfect, the tea choices were well thought out and the food was delicious. We highly recommend and will be back!“

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“really nice spot. ❤️❤️❤️ to Alex. Great server! Wish you all the best. If you're ever in Northern NH...look us up in Milan/Gorham.“

“This place is fantastic! We highly recommend making a reservation, as it’s a small restaurant and fills up quickly. We stopped in on a Saturday around 5 PM and were lucky enough to grab seats at the bar.

The wine selection is outstanding, with plenty of great options to choose from. We ordered the veal, which was enormous and easily large enough to share. We also tried both the truffle pasta and the vodka pasta, with the vodka pasta being our favorite. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the pricing felt very reasonable for the area.

A wonderful experience overall! I would definitely return and highly recommend it.“

“Having waited nearly a year to visit, I was excited to secure a table, and La Padrona did not disappoint. The hostess and floor managers greeted us warmly and accommodated a last minute change from the bar to a table. Cocktails are numerous and innovative, and there is a long wine list to choose from with the help of a staff sommelier. The food was exquisite, with filling appetizers and generous primi and secondi portions. Service was outstanding, and I know I'm hard to please as someone from industry. There are only two reasons the atmosphere received mid-marks. One was for the use of Toast handheld POS units. This is a luxury, high-price-point restaurant; your servers should be using pen & paper (or nothing), and collecting and processing the check at a central POS, not a mobile unit in front of the guests. Second, enforce your dress code, even if that is only dress casual. Your restaurant is beautiful, the art deco styling, servers in uniform, and floor managers in business attire create a sense of occasion, only to be broken by guests in shorts, sneakers, hats, and t-shirts - it cheapens the experience.“

“I thought Capri was going to be another overhyped restaurant that put too much effort in the decor and not enough on the food - and am I glad to be wrong.

I won’t spend too much time in the space itself, it’s gorgeous, it’s what everyone raves about - the real star is the food.

On paper, nothing sounds too groundbreaking but in practice - all of it kinda blew me away. The garlic bread was incredible, emphasis on the GARLIC. Whole cloves of garlic baked into the bread then topped with fried garlic. The bolognese was another great surprise - I loved that the meat was braised instead of minced. Then the Strawberry Rhubarb Crostada might be one of the best desserts I ever had. Everything had so much flavor.

Lastly, free validated parking. Truly a myth to have parking at any Boston restaurant.“

“We arrived late to Boston and needed a place to grab a bite. Their kitchen was still open so we ordered some food and drinks. The food and drinks were delish. The atmosphere was fairly lively. It’s a small footprint so having a few groups of people in there made the atmosphere pretty loud. Not a bad thing, just a notable observation. Overall the Franklin Cafe fit our need with good late night food and drinks.“
