Where is the Best After-Work Bar in Boston, Massachusetts?
We’re talking $19 for a BURGER!! What ever happened to the burger being a “food for the people,” anyway? Luckily, it was Paul D’s birthday, so we had a legitimate reason to finally go, not that running a burger blog isn’t reason enough, but the time had come. Outside of the burger, not much surprised me about Radius; a reservation is necessary, the decor is stunning, parking is lousy and it would be an expensive night. Do people usually pay $14 for a cocktail? I must never go out for drinks, so I guess this is the norm. 8:00 on a Friday night I would have guessed the place would have been packed, but no, more than half the tables were empty, and that’s not just my pessimistic view coming through. We were a group of eight, late 20’s to early 30’s and about as nicely dressed as we can get, and with no dress code required, felt we deserved as good a service as anyone else. This isn’t the first place where I felt ageism was in issue and it wont be the last. If we had all worn tuxedos woul
If you are looking for a new hip place to relax and have a drink Red Sky is the place for you!! With its inviting ambiance, delicious variety of food, mouthwatering cocktails and not to mention Bostons sexiest bartenders and cocktail waitresses, why go anywhere else?!?! Out off all of the places in the area the staff at Red Sky gets an A+ for service! Drinks and food are brought out promptly and always with a smile 🙂 One of the many perks about Red Sky is they serve food every night until 1am!!! So after drinking a few of their signature Red Sky Martini’s ( my personal fave) and the late night hunger kicks in, order up few of their yummy apps!! Check out the website for upcoming events because there is always something fun going on at Red Sky!!! xoxo
I’ve been to Sonsie maybe three or four times with different people and the food here is always good. It’s of course on the pricier end, but I’d say that almost every meal I’ve had here is worth every penny I paid for it, which for me is unusual. The service is usually pretty good and waitstaff are nice. With that said, the place does have a somewhat pretentious air about it, and many of the patrons seem rather snooty. The cafe area at the front of the restaurant feels somewhat cramped with tables being very small and a little too close to one another. I’ll have to try seating in the back sometime. All that said and done though, kudos to the chef, Bill Poirier. The food alone I give 5 stars. He knows how to take what seems to be the most random of flavors and ingredients and turn it into something incredible. It’s very obvious he cares a lot about each dish that leaves the kitchen and the satisfaction of every customer. Will definitely be eating here again. Pros + Food is worth ever
The SceneOne of Boston’s preeminent dives, Dick’s gets its fair share of raucous revelers–weekends often host numerous bachelorette parties. This reputation is in stark contrast to the tourists who stop in to take a break from shopping in the surrounding Quincy Market shops. While smart-alecky servers provide plenty of attitude, mismatched chairs and long, communal tables ensure a convivial atmosphere. Social singles populate the elevated bar area to imbibe cheap 32-ounce bottles of domestic beer.The FoodThe restaurant encourages diners to reconnect with their inner child: Crowd favorites like tender pork ribs and moist king crab legs are served in large steel buckets and utensils are discouraged. Bar patrons devour troughs of fries and chicken fingers while slurping down frozen Kahlua mudslides served in a take-home glass. Dishes for the timid are offered, but expect a wisecrack from your server.
First of all, it’s a VODKA place. Why yes Virginia it is basement downstairs (how observant!) but the extensive vodka selection is like a hidden treasure. The music is house and the people are dancers (people who really love music). It’s not a meat market, so stilettos & cigars stay upstairs please. If you want drama, meatmarket feel – go to Roxy. This place is for the laidback people, vodka lovers & b-boys. Strange that the two co-exist under the same roof. Ce’ la vie! Definitely coming back again!!!!!! With much love from NY.Pros + Good music, no drama crowd.Cons – parking, $$$ drinks
