20byNine

20byNine is a good place for a drink and a snack, maybe cheese plate, but not for dinner. I found the food to be overly salty and many of the dishes are fried. If you're just having a drink though and maybe something small to eat, then this is a good spot, particularly if you can sit outside.

Drink only review: 5/5. I'm not sure how many other cocktail bars there are on the island, but this is the closest we could find that was similar to what we experience in the Chicago cocktail scene. The drink was fantastic and the bartender was super nice and knowledgeable. I've heard great things about the food as well!

Best drinks we've ever had. Great bartender. Perfect portions with inventive selection.

We've been to this restaurant twice. Once it was at the end of the season and they had an awesome tasting menu that was based around using all of the food they had left. We went last night and had a less than stellar experience. Cocktails were great and could be the best cocktail menu you can get on the island. We ordered a $18 burger before the kitchen closed and asked for it to be well done (my wife's choice). Out came a burger the size of a slider and it was fairly raw in the middle. We should have sent it back but it was late and we just wanted to get out of there. Service was otherwise good. Long story short: go here for cocktails and whisky.

Best bar on Martha's Vineyard! Possibly one of the best in the northeast. The lobster fritters were perfect--complex and not too dry. Bluefish pate was unbelievable. Stools outside make for great people watching, but inside has even better cozy bar ambiance with old-fashioned pendant light bulbs providing warm low light. Best drink was the "last boat" but all drinks were balanced and excellent. Just ask the barkeep for recommendations.

We got here late (parents day out, long day, needed a nap before dinner!!) and asked if we could get food to go, the staff was accommodating despite it being a Saturday night after what I'm sure was a long day. A table ending up opening so we dined in and the food did not disappoint. I got the beet salad and it was a flavor explosion. Husband got the burger and said it was the best one he'd had all weekend (of 4 burgers this weekend). Atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We also enjoyed our cocktails - French 75 (my favorite, hard to find!), Paper Plane, and Whiskey Daisy. So delicious. We'll definitely be making this spot a regular on our Martha's Vineyard trips!

"Best cocktails on Martha's Vineyard" did not disappoint. But the excellent food was the real surprise. Recommend the lobster fritters and the grilled cheese. Impressive beer and whiskey list. You can't go wrong with any of the superbly balanced drinks. The "last boat" was a standout. The ambience is inviting, cozy and comfortable.

Atmosphere: loved the ambiance here, the booths are high and pretty private. They offer outdoor seating as well. Service: wonderful and prompt Food: we loved the charcuterie board! Drink: great for the whiskey lover! I am a bit of a picky drinker and wish I saw some more options for mixed drinks, but it IS a whiskey bar so that’s on me :)
