“Went only once last night so don't want to knock any stars. But, my biggest suggestion is that please include pictures of sake bottles (even just labels) next to the title on your online menu. Right now, it's paragraphs after paragraphs of many many sakes. I got analysis paralysis after a few seconds.“

Till next time, cheers“

“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.“

“Went here last night and it was fabulous! Bartender was awesome, the Dog staff was great! As somebody who works with Dogs on the daily, it was nice to bring my dog here and have somebody else pay attention to her while she played with her friends. The dog staff does a great job, controlling the environment and keeping everybody safe. I plan on making this my weekly spot.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I liked the burger. Truffle Gorgonzola fries were ok— I liked the fries, but didn’t really like the sauce. Stomach felt a little funny after, but not sure if that was the burger or fries.

Food came quick. Space was clean and small but not crowded.

Parking lot out back had multiple spaces available and was $1.35/hr. There’s some 2 hr free spots a few blocks down but you have to parallel park. Some 1 hr free spots closer to the restaurant but those were almost all taken Saturday lunch hour.“

“Feels like the perfect blend of local happy hour and transient/tourist patrons.
Quick service and good pours and good prices (for a black velvet or snake bite depending on who you ask Guinness/cider).
Good smiles(and funny looks at my drink choice)
Great stop off for after dinner drink
Bit loud, but to be expected with the space.“

“We were there for brunch and the food and cocktails were great!! The staff was very friendly, can’t wait to go back again on my next visit❤️“

“the oysters are out of sight! delicious bravo! bouillabaisse was amazing! I did like my server. I do suggest they get some sleep nobody was smiling.“

“Tucked beneath Krasi in Boston’s Back Bay, Hecate is more than just a bar—it’s a journey. Inspired by the Greek goddess of magic and crossroads, this speakeasy offers a spellbinding escape from the ordinary, weaving together ambiance, craftsmanship, and storytelling in a way few places can replicate.

From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a world that feels European yet distinctly unique. The space is intimate, with dim lighting, plush textures, and a chic blend of vintage and contemporary design. The subtle beats of house music set the tone for a night of discovery, while the bartenders, poised like performers, work their magic behind the bar.

Lou Charbonneau’s cocktail menu is where the enchantment truly begins. Each drink is a masterpiece, reflecting inspiration drawn from far-flung spice markets, culinary delights, and worldly travels. The drinks at Hecate don’t just quench thirst—they tell a story. One sip might evoke the warmth of a Moroccan souk, while another might transport you to a bustling European café. This balance of old-world charm and modern creativity results in cocktails that are simultaneously familiar and delightfully unexpected.

Hecate’s charm lies not in a clandestine entrance but in the curated experience within. Every detail, from the glassware to the garnish, is a deliberate choice meant to captivate. It’s no wonder Hecate has earned global acclaim, listed among the “World 50 Best Discovery Bars” and the “Top 500 Bars.”

If you’re seeking more than just a drink—if you’re craving a story, an adventure, a memory—Hecate is your destination. Here, time slows, curiosity flourishes, and every sip feels like a revelation. It’s not just one of Boston’s coolest speakeasies; it’s one of the coolest anywhere.“

“I celebrated my birthday at Hobgoblin with 15 friends in their basement space. There was live music from some talented Berklee students that night, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience.

I was able to make the initial reservation on Resy, modify it as needed by calling the restaurant, and they even gave me a semi private area so that our big group could mingle while listening to the music.

It’s rare for a place to have great food, amazing drinks, a fabulous vibe/atmosphere, AND live music with incredible service. Hobgoblin was all that and more and my friends couldn’t stop raving about how much they enjoyed it. I can’t wait to go back!!“

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

“Finally posting a review after many visits, including for private events. It's a magical space where every detail is thoughtfully curated. The owners are experimenting and pushing boundaries to create something special and different. The cocktails are off-the-charts, and the bites - when offered - have always been phenomenal!“

“The pork quesodilla WOW, subtle sweetness, great crunch, gooey cheese. Key lime pie AMAZING not to tart, firm texture. The server Bea. Was so NICE and generous. You can play Mario kart at the bar!!! Music Playlist great. TV size and pool placement are perfect. Definitely coming back for the live music and a differnet food choice.“

“Attractive room. Great cuisine and wine list. Service was excellent, including host, who graciously sat us when we mistakenly arrived an hour earlier than our reservation. We will gladly return.“

“Good music and drinks lol“

“Great place! Historical live music acts have played here for decades! great ownership! Great bartenders!“

“Beautiful hotel bar with attentive staff.“

“Fate made us unexpectedly arrive at this wonderful place. The experience was unforgettable. I hope that one day it will be repeated, to once again feel the tranquility and pleasure with which every drop of beer was enjoyed. Recommended.?? Let yourself be carried away by each sensation that your senses perceive, it will be unforgettable. The comfort of the bar and the good atmosphere will make you forget all the bad things you have been through and find the meaning of life, so you will toast with emotion for everything, especially for being alive and being happy. Health!

And don't forget that you can play pool billiards.“

“I just Love the New Republic great atmosphere amazing food great drinks beautiful vibe“

“Always our “go to” place when in Boston. Never fails.“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“One of the last true local venues in the Boston area. A Real club for real musicians to lay a solid foundation to create original music, build a fanbase and collaborate with peers.“

“Very very creative cocktails! First time in and we quite enjoyed ourselves. Our drinks were great and fun. The options for food were fairly limited, and rather creative as well - which is challenging if you're drinking with a picky-eater :-). I'll be back, but probably solo.“

“great place to pack all my fans love the staff looking to perform here sometime in the near future“

“Fun, Casual Sports Bar, lots of big screens. Comfort Foods, service was good. The noise level was high and while there the music came on but it was quite loud, although we did like the playlist. That being said, we're a group of 50 year olds, so noise level probably affects us more😜“

“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!“

“Went here a few times on our short stay in Boston. Good selection of beers and spirits but what really makes the place is the people behind the bar. TC and the rest of the team were great fun and made me and my wife so welcome. I'm still annoyed though that my songs never came on the jukebox...“

“Had a blast. Servers are the best. Singing doorman is so entertaining. Great vibe.“

“Went there on a Sat night around 6 pm and were seated right away. Good food. Service was a little slow. Live entertainment was setting up just as we were leaving.

Parking: There is a free lot, but if the restaurant is crowded, the lot will be over flowing.“
