Today, we’re diving deep into the sudsy heart of Beantown. That’s right, we're talking about the cream of the crop, the top of the hops, the best bars in Boston, all according to the recommendations of Google users.
Whether you're a local, a tourist, or just a bar enthusiast with a penchant for the peculiar, the best Boston bars have got something that’ll tickle your taste buds.
1. Better Sorts Social Club
Nestled in the heart of downtown Boston, Better Sorts Social Club is not your average watering hole. It’s more like that classy friend who knows all about craft beer but doesn’t judge you for ordering a wine spritzer.
This place is perfect for those who appreciate a swanky vibe without pretension. All of this makes it one of the best bars in Boston for young adults.
2. Bar 10
Located in the trendy Westin Copley Place, Bar 10 mixes a mean cocktail and throws in a dash of class at no extra charge. This spot is ideal for young adults looking to mingle or for the forever young at heart.
If you're solo or with a squad, Bar 10's sleek, modern design and inviting atmosphere make it a top contender for the best bar in Boston for singles!
3. City Bar Back Bay
If Beacon Hill had a love child with a library of liquor, City Bar would be it. It’s the neighborhood bar that’s stepped up its game to cocktail heaven.
Whether you're after a quiet corner for a date night or a lively spot to start your bar crawl, City Bar serves sophistication with a side of fish and chips. And yes, the fish is as fresh as the gossip here!
4. Hobgoblin
Dive into the mystical realm of Hobgoblin, a gastropub named after the intriguing legend of Sir Hugo de Giffard, also known as The Wizard of Yester.
Sir Hugo allegedly used an army of hobgoblins to construct the undercroft of Yester Castle, inspiring our pub's name and magical theme. Their décor features gargoyle streetlamps and monster paintings by Kimberly Squiers, based on medieval sketches.
Enjoy their enchanting potions in an ambiance that channels Sir Hugo’s necromancy, promising an experience as captivating as the lore of the enchanted Colstoun pear in their family's history.
5. The Greatest Bar
Oh, you thought this was just hyperbole? Please, we're Bostonians! The Greatest Bar is a stone's throw from TD Garden, making it one of the best sports bars in Boston.
It’s also one of the bars that we typically hit on our Bar Crawl events!
Four floors of sports history, panoramic views of Boston sports (go Sox!), and a vibe that’s as infectious as a championship win—this bar doesn’t just set the bar; it is the bar.
6. Cheers
Because sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came. Cheers is not just a bar; it’s a Boston institution.
Whether you're hunting down the best Boston Irish pub or just in it for the nostalgia, Cheers serves up a hearty helping of both alongside iconic fish and chips. It’s the epitome of a dive bar with a heart of gold and a tap list to match.
7. 21st Amendment
Historic, charming, and rebelliously named, 21st Amendment sits proudly on Beacon Hill, whispering tales of yore with a pint in hand. This is where history buffs and ale aficionados unite under the banner of Boston’s revolutionary spirit. If you’re looking to experience an authentic slice of Boston Irish pub culture with a side of political intrigue, this is your joint.
