Best Bars in Boston | Eater Boston

"Offsuit’s stated mission is “no boring drinks,” and boy, does this place deliver on that promise. If it’s your first time, the Glass Orchid, with tequila, yellow bell pepper, pickled cantaloupe, and blanc vermouth, is as good of a place as any to start. The bar also really commits to the speakeasy bit: Not only do you first have to find the unmarked door, but then you have to call a number to gain entry." - Erika Adams

Where to Drink Manhattans in Boston in 2024 | Eater

"While plenty of spots call themselves speakeasies these days, Offsuit is the closest we’ve found to the real thing. Make your way down the alley and call the phone number on the sign outside the nondescript black door. Once inside, you’ll find a cozy candlelit lounge perfect for curling up with a cocktail. Note that reservations are required, and there’s a 90-minute time limit for tables: just enough time to sample an Angel’s Envy Manhattan alongside the bar’s tasty snacks." - Molly McDonough

I love Offsuit - it has an actual speakeasy vibe as it’s definitely a very obscure entrance from an alley. The drinks are awesome - it’s an interesting menu and everything I’ve ordered here has been delicious. It’s such a cool vibe here too, perfect for a date night - very dark and intimate, and they’re often playing 90s hip hop, which I love. It’s pricey for sure - last time the bill was $250 for 2 people, but we did get multiple rounds of drinks as well as food. On that note, food was good too - small plates and bar snack vibes but it was enough for a full meal. We’ll definitely keep coming back, and highly recommend if you like craft cocktails!

Such an awesome place. My wife and I had a great time and would return again for sure. My favorite menu item probably lands between the hired gun and the city club but everything was great. Bravo to the hospitality as well - the team deserves a lot of praise for making this a memorable experience for us. Cheers !

This place is one of the best bar in Boston!! I will definitely visit back with friends in the future. It’s a little bit hard to find, but when you find it, it’s very surprising!! Service is really good, and the cocktails taste really well. Atmosphere also very good! Highly recommended 🔥🔥

Impressive Cocktails & Elevated Comfort Food Down a dark alley and through an unmarked black door—finding Offsuit felt like unlocking a secret level. (Technically, you can sneak in through Troquet on South’s back door, but where’s the fun in that?) The mystery set the bar high. Given its popularity, we expected the bar to be packed on a Saturday night, but the atmosphere was surprisingly calm and intimate. Granted, we lucked out with a cozy couch seating tucked away from the main crowd, where groups gathered around a standing table in the center. Offsuit’s cocktail menu had a good balance between timeless classics and inventive creations. From the classics, the Espresso Martini was undeniably the best I ever had—impeccably balanced, smooth, and never overly sweet. A rich espresso punch without cloying syrupiness. Another surprise was the Vibe Check, where a subtle curry note added a pleasantly unexpected depth, lingering just enough to intrigue without overpowering the drink. The most interesting things were on the “Ace of Spades” menu—high-end cocktails (a rarity in Boston) and some seriously luxe bites. We skipped the drinks but went all in on the food. The white truffle “Uncrustable” was our favorite with its rich truffle and gruyere combo. The Foie Gras/Baller Burger? Solid, but not the best I’ve had. And the Foie Gras Crunch Bar was basically a top-tier chocolate bar with a great crunch (almost zero scent of foie gras). Another surprise was the Boozy Cookies & Milk—a treat I didn’t expect to find at a cocktail bar. Fresh out of the oven, the cookies filled the air with a nice aroma and their pillowy softness made for a perfect sweet send-off. I haven’t explored many speakeasies in Boston, but so far, Offsuit takes the crown. Definitely coming back to dive deeper into their cocktail game. Favorites: Espresso Martini, Vibe Check, White Truffle Uncrustable Solid: Hired Gun, Baller Burger, Burgundy Escargots, Boozy Milk & Cookies, Decent: Pick me Girl, Foie gras crunch bar

This speak easy was amazing! Dark, tons of candles. Red walls, black trim, interesting seating. Like every detail was thought out. When we first got there I thought we made a mistake as we walked down this graffiti laden alley and stood outside a warehouse door. I thought we got lured somewhere! Bar was top notch. Anything you want and whiskey sours actually had the egg foam on top. She asked us if we wanted our drinks to be more "spirit heavy" or more "refreshing". I looked at her like she was crazy and said "I'm sorry?" And she was like do you want more booze or less booze 😂 Just a really cute place with a great atmosphere. The only thing I'd change is the music. Wouldn't have loved quiet jazz playing for a more authentic experience but I'm sure keeping the music modern was a detail that was well thought out. All in all, absolutely wonderful place, they did a great job. Make reservations!! Added: the barrel that some negative reviews mention is an adorable area to stand if you forgot to make reservations or are waiting for your table. As far as rude waitstaff, we could not have had a more different experience.

Extremely Disappointing – Worst Speakeasy Experience We’ve Had We’ve visited speakeasies all over the United States, and this was by far the worst experience we’ve had. We were quoted a 20–40 minute wait but ended up waiting over two hours—despite staying right next door at their sister bar. When we were finally shown to our seats, they abruptly took them away, claiming a late reservation had shown up and offered us standing room at a crowded community table instead. No apology, no explanation, and no attempt to make it right. To top it off, the drinks were poorly made and completely underwhelming. Highly overrated—definitely not worth your time or money.

This was a great experience. There was a bit of a wait, but it was quick and painless. The entry method is quite novel and we loved it. The drinks once inside were phenomenal, and there were so many more we wanted to try. The Espresso Martini is almost too good. The vibe was nice and relaxed. A lot of fun and I hope to return.

The drinks, atmosphere, and styling was all so perfect! I’ll definitely be coming back when I have more time. The Stage Whisper was also delicious!

Such a cool speakeasy! You have the call the number on the door outside and the staff will let you in. I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time if possible. We came at an off-time so we got seated as a walk-in. The place is super intimate and doesn't have too many seats so we just got lucky with our walk-in. I love how they spin vinyls (when we came they were playing r&b hip hop with artists like Anderson Paak and Wiz Khalifa - love it here already). They also have creative menus. There's the sip me slowly (very strong on the booze, be sure to sip it slowly lol) and kill me quickly (easier to drink). My friend and I both got the Appletini from the sip me slowly menu and boy do they make their drinks STRONG. Such a vibe here!

Quaint cocktail bar with a very friendly staff and intimate vibe. The drinks are delicious and categorized in unique way from drinks that are "sippers" to "easy to drink." Even though the space is small, there's enough space between tables that you don't feel crowded. We went here for after dinner drinks and loved everything about the place. Just be sure to make reservations but well worth it. Definitely will be back!

We had a few drinks. They were good, but not great. The strawberry margarita was stronger than normal, so you could taste the alcohol good for those who like a strong drink not so much for those who prefer the more fruitier taste Guns for hire at larceny bourbon and some Mezcal, but you don't taste nothing but tequila which I wasn't terrible, but it wasn't when I was wanting It's definitely a speakeasy so that part is ultra cool you got a call never knock the ambience is eclectic. The music was great though they played good music. It was enjoyable. Somebody had ordered brussels sprouts right next to us and the snow was killing my vibe. Service was good no complaints.

this is just the cutest speakeasy in the world not only is the decor beautiful the music they play is absolutely amazing. Lots of hip hop and rnb and stuff that a Gen Z myself would listen to. The espresso martinis are top tier and don't come on an empty stomach because the drinks will kill you. although the drinks are on the pricier end, it's around $18. You get what you pay for and those drinks are STRONG.

Speakeasy hidden in Boston! (Was a bit hard to find the entrance I guess they succeeded in terms of being hard to find as a speakeasy!) The inside was very cool and had a nice classy feel. The service was a bit slow but it was fine! Definitely make a reservation before coming since the space is very small. The drinks all have very cool names, both of the drinks we got were a bit on the stronger side. I wasn't a huge fan of the cocktails but the experience was very cool and would recommend you check it out if you're looking for a cool speakeasy in Boston.

A cool speakeasy in an alleyway that I probably wouldn't have found if it weren't for my coworkers. It's a small cozy spot but their menu was so fun! I got a nonalcoholic cocktail, Lip Service, which was a little bitter for me. Once the ice melted, it was more enjoyable. Definitely a unique spot to hang out in!

Hubby and I wandered around until we made it to the secret door marked with "5" on it. Our Uber driver had dropped me on the other side (the restaurant) but thankfully we eventually made it. So glad I didn't wear heels and that my hubby's eyesight is much better than mine lol. We were seated in a cute little area in the back where the guy who seated us said that if we needed help, a few of them would be "wandering around" but it took a while that I wondered if we had to go up to the bar to get our own drinks? Eventually we were able to order our first round. I went with the Appletini and hubby got a zero proof drink which tasted a lot like it had the herbal Seedlip in it. The Appletini was good but definitely learned towards an actual martini than the usual "apple martini" - I was warned! We also ended up ordering the wasabi marinated cantaloupe and marinated olives. I loved the cantaloupe. I'm not usually one to like fruit but this savory version was really good, especially with the topping of furikake. On the other hand, the olives tasted extra salty. We half about 1/3 of them and left the rest for the speakeasy gods. Round two for me was Cash Only, from the easy drinking side. It turned out really vegetally which I expected. The drink grew on me and I ended really liking it a lot. The music was really loud which isn't really my vibe in a speakeasy. But overall, this was a nice stop with great drinks.

Bada** cocktail bar for sure. Be prepared to feel like you might disappear in the alley trying to find this place though. We couldn't see the sign and legit ran another bell of what I assumed was a closed office space? Omg. Anyways, thank god another couple came along and went to the CORRECT back door so we saw where to go. Definitely grab reservations, the couple in front of us were quoted 2 hours for a spot. We were seated promptly upon checking into our reservation. He sat us in the back room. I would have rather sat in the front room with the bar but will request that next time. Drinks were strong and fabulous. We'll definitely be back for a nightcap!

THE VIBES!!! THE DATE NIGHT!!! THE WAIT TIME!! Wait time wasn't actually too bad, we were quoted 90 minutes but they texted me back in 45!!! On the website they say most seats are for walk ins so don't feel obligated to make a resy! For directions, if you're in the alley, keep going until you see a door with a 5 on it. Call the number, and that is basically their doorbell. Drinks were delicious. Aesthetic, and very complex in flavor and preparation. Come by!

Offsuit may be the most convincing speakeasy I've ever been to, with the entrance being quite hard to find in a semi-untrustworthy alley. However once you find your way inside you'll find some of the most interesting and impressive cocktails. Some of these ingredients I guarantee you will never have seen such as the mushrooms in the Tuxedo Connection or the burnt tortilla in Hired Gun. Some of the highlights for our night was the Tuxedo Connection, Vibe Check, and Cure for Immortality. This place is the real deal and I would definitely stop here again.

THIS is a true speakeasy! Entrance is in a back alley, next to dumpster and not what you would think. Have to call Lynn to get it. Love that they have a drink for everybody's pallet and even willing to make anything you can think of. Great service great drinks great ambience; what else is there?

5 Stars for a hidden little cocktail bar that's worth the mildly terrifying alley entrance for the ambiance and drinks you'll find inside! Ok so first thing's first. Follow the map directions and know that it'll take you into an alley (that smells of human urine) to an unmarked door with a tiny sticker that instructs you to call, not knock. Give them a quick call and you'll be let in to a dark, vibey speakeasy-style cocktail bar that looks like it might only fit 15 people max (though, looks can be deceiving as I counted more seats later on). Our server took us to our seats- plush leather armchairs across a small rounded table from one another. The bar is candle-lit and was the perfect pick after I told my husband I wanted to find somewhere "moody" for a pre-dinner drink and bites. I ordered their signature espresso fucking martini as well as the spiced nuts and the Burrata toast. The nuts were flavored with an Asian five spice and were totally addictive. Especially the hazelnuts! But the star was definitely the Burrata toast. The bread was charred and the Burrata with covered in pine nuts, green onions, and a healthy amount of olive oil. Yes to all of this! Overall, it was a great spot and I'd definitely return next time I'm in town.

Was taking a breather between a few meetings with clients and decided to stop by Offsuit to grab a few drinks. This joint is tucked away in an alley and does the "speakeasy" concept. You make reservations and then you have to find the location (refer to pictures from other yelpers) and you are brought into a dark swanky room with folks giving attentive service to enjoy some fun cocktails. The menu is fun and has punchy titles ("kill me quickly" , sip me slowly, etc.) The combinations are fun and the cocktails are strong. Love this concept and love how snazzy and low key it was. Definitely a great spot if you are looking for this vibe. The one item is the food felt a bit less unique vs the cocktails but go for the cocktails and stumble out carefully

Loved the ambiance! Intimate space, seating for maybe 20 people is available! Friendly bartenders! One of the more interesting to find speakeasies I've been to! Amazing drinks! Had to get a 2nd round the first was so good! If the number to call isn't on the door, you've gone to the wrong door! Don't make the same mistake we did! :D

This place is hidden in an alley in china town - the entire time we were trying to find it I was convinced we were going the wrong way. This hipster speakeasy was a fun place to get cocktails. We didn't make a reservation since it was a week day and didn't have any issues getting in but I suggest making one if you were to visit on a weekend. Drinks were a bit pricey (16-18 USD each) but this is typical of a speakeasy. Staff were friendly and welcoming!

Always a great experience when I visit Boston. The staff is always friendly and helped us grab a table for 3. I love all the different options and unique drinks to choose from. We had the smash burger which was great even to the fries they came with. The drinks were strong but they mixed them so well in a way where you didn't feel a burn. I loved the speakeasy atmosphere and just like a speak easy it can be hard to find. They recommend setting a reservation and giving them a call so some one will come out to guide you. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of their drinks. Enjoy!

I loved this place. Speakeasies have become quite trendy but can't back it up with creative drinks. These bartenders definitely know what they are doing. I like to hit the classics -- a good Negroni or Old Fashioned. They nailed both. Nice romantic atmosphere for a date. Food is a bit meh -- but that's not why I went.

Weird and wonderful. If you're glass is half empty human please stay home. If you want mystery adventure enter if you dare. If you're an entrepreneur you'll get it. Most unique place I've ever found. Great drinks and friendly staff. A bit hard to find don't give up. Find the alley and look for a black door #5 and follow the instructions. Shush be quiet, this is a legit speak easy vibe. Then call the number on the door. This place is so crazy I love!! Reservations recommended by Perfect date: Pick a cocktail and order a charcuterie board. Do your homework ahead of time and study menu. Cheers, Your hero Rick

A very secluded speakeasy tucked away not too far from Chinatown and behind the French restaurant Troquet. We weren't sure if we were even gonna get in since we didn't have reservations, but decided to test our luck. There isn't anything notable or recognizable on the door except the number 5, so fear not if you think you're not at the right spot. We tried calling to see if we could get in, but to our dismay didn't get an answer after a couple of attempts. After a little fidgeting with the door (to which we learned was pretty useless because the door is actually covered by a curtain when you're inside), we were ready to give up and leave. Luckily, someone finally came out and found us. We got pretty lucky that they weren't busy yet on a Friday night and managed to get a table. The seating isn't ideal for groups over 4 people, but perfect for pairs. They have a QR code to scan for their menu. I liked how they sectioned their menus with cocktails separated as "Kill Me Quickly" or "Sip Me Slowly". The Kill me Quicklys seemed a lot stronger to me and were drinks that you could drink quicker (as the name denotes). The Sip me Slowly were smaller drinks that you could take your time with, but their tastes slowly built up over time. My favorite drink had to be the Vibe Check which was capped with salted yogurt. All their drinks were pretty interesting, unique and priced at $16. We also ordered some shishito peppers to share and to my surprise, they actually gave a looot. The shishito peppers were seasoned well with a citric salt of some sort and very easy to eat with the drinks. As the night progressed, we started to see more people trickle in and I could see how busy this place could get. The menu is very straightforward and they deliver in all aspects of food and drinks. This would be a really cute date spot or somewhere to go when you want to impress your friends but not overdo it LOL

My friend and I literally stumbled upon this cocktail speakeasy. After getting Ramen at a nearby spot in Chinatown, we decided we wanted to find somewhere to get drinks. After a quick search on line, we came upon the alley and saw a few people entering and leaving and you, this is where we were supposed to be. After looking on the website, we saw the number to call. For the two of us on a Friday night the weight was about 30 minutes and the hostess took our name down and walked us through to get to sit at the nearby restaurant while we waited. Once inside we got a text shortly after saying that there was standing room available. Taking a look at the menu there were a lot of different options of craft cocktails, that were very unique. I love that the QR code took you to an extensive menu, including beer and wine and nonalcoholic options and, spirit forward, more refreshing drinks. We ordered the espresso martini like drink and I got the mint drink which was super refreshing. The decor was interesting. It was like a mashup between a record store/prohibition vibe. We both liked our drinks. This would be a cool date spot for friends, a small group or a date. the drink prices weren't too outrageous for a speakeasy in the city. The treat we received when signing the bill were cute, but they weren't edible so it was more for the vibe lol

A very tiny speakeasy tucked away in an alleyway in Chinatown. Might have taken us a minute to find the door. We didn't get reservations ahead so we had to wait around 40 minutes which wasn't too bad since the expected wait time can go until 2 hours. The drinks were definitely interesting and somewhat strong. It had cool lounge vibes with cozy seats and jazzy background music. But for me it can get a little loud with everyone talking since the place is very small.

If you take a friend, a date, or an SO here, ensure you trust each other. Otherwise, they might be spooked by the alley you brought them to. There is no sign on the door, only a small placard that asks to keep the noise down. Once you find it, call, and they'll let you in. As far as speakeasies go, this 'arrangement' is hard to beat! Inside, the vibe is intimate. The tables are small, yet not crowded together. The chairs are comfy, and the lighting is dim (and half by candlelight!). It reminds me of a study. Some artifacts collected when traveling and hunting were books, a few paintings, a small chandelier, a fireplace, and a mirror or two. However, this is done tastefully, feels thoughtful, and is not like the weird mishmash that was my freshman dorm wall from college. For food, I had the opportunity to try the Crab Deviled Eggs and the Smash Burger. The Deviled Eggs are thoroughly unremarkable. The minuscule amount of lump crab and dot of some sauce does nothing to elevate the dish from a bland, mundane, deviled egg. Burger is a bit better. First, they actually season the meat (so many places do not, and it's a travesty). The sauce and onion jam paired with the patty very nicely as well. I wish the edges had that caramelized crispness you find in smashed burgers. The veggies were nothing special except that the tomato was quite wet. Yes, I realize tomatoes are mostly water, though this felt like it moonlights as an umbrella! Though the burger is solid, the food seems to be on the menu solely for you to have the option to not drink on an empty stomach. This is not a place you go to eat. That brings us to the drinks! Their cocktail menus (yes, plural) are approachable and inventive. These are Kill Me Quickly and Sip Me Slowly. If I understand, the former contains drinks more towards the refreshing side, whereas the latter is more spirit-forward. This time around, I tried the Espresso F*****g Martini and the Six Second Rule. Espresso Martini was great! The espresso was not overpowering but still added great flavor. There was a good level of sweetness, and while it didn't seem highly spirit-forward, the booze was definitely there. The Six Second Rule was unique and exciting. Like the espresso martini, the spirit was there, but not in your face. For lack of a better term, it was a bit garden-y thanks to the watermelon rind, tomato vermouth, and basil oil. Some months earlier, I had a Hired Gun. While I don't have specific tasting notes, the theme is the same. A unique, well-balanced cocktail. From what I've experienced, their drinks are smooth, balanced across the board, and use high-quality spirits without charging an arm and a leg (all cocktails are $16). Finally, the service is friendly, welcoming, and appropriately speedy. While this may not become my regular bar, it will be a place I return to work through their menu one or two drinks at a time.

Love finding speakeasies everywhere I go. Just love the attention to detail and honestly the service is always above average. Such a cool little place in Chinatown. Don't knock, make sure you call when you arrive! The door is marked with a 5. Good drinks and a cute spot for a date night!

Small and intimate with decent drinks. Wait was a little longer than expected (we had no res) but you have the option to go to the bar next door and wait it out. Also offers small bites- shrimp was tasty! Def would make a res for next time.

Love this place! I love speakeasy's and out of all the speakeasy's I've been to in Boston, this probably gives me the best and most accurate speakeasy vibes. It's quiet and quaint. The ambiance and lighting had me impressed right when I walked through the door. Love all the lamps and the decorations can keep you occupied and distracted from the small talk. Now getting to the cocktails as this is why we are here, I ordered the tuxedo connection and the radio silence, both very good. If you like a bolder more rich tasting drink the radio silence did for me. I also ordered the shrimp and those were some pretty damn tasty shrimp. Before I forget service was also great! The waiters were attentive and great to chat with personality. Will definitely be returning!

I stumbled across this place by accident after looking for somewhere to grab a drink after an appointment nearby. Now that I know more about it, I'm feeling so lucky that I just walked right in! Offsuit is a tiny little speakeasy in an alley way. Apple maps will get you there, but the attached photo might help you find the exact door you're looking for. You have to call when you arrive instead of walking in or knocking, the number is listed online and on a little piece of paper by the door. I went around 4pm on a Saturday, so RIGHT after they opened, and was able to get a spot for 2 at the communal standing table. It was already full otherwise, and it seemed like almost everyone else had a reservation. I would definitely make one if you can, I've since learned that the wait times can be crazy. We loooved all the drinks we tried. We had the Trick of the Light, Opening Ceremony, and two of the Espresso F'ing Martinis. The Trick of the Light was definitely the most unique, and the Espresso Martinis had a nice hint of almond in them that I was really into. The menu has much more adventurous options on it (there's a mezcal cocktail with burnt tortilla and sour cream in it - enough said) that I'm saving for the next time I visit. You're looking at $16 a cocktail, which isn't great, but the drinks are quality and I've been to plenty Boston cocktail bars where the prices are all $20 and up. The vibe is really cozy and intimate with very cool decor - definitely a romantic date spot if you're in the market for one. No complaints, just wish I found it sooner!

I'm not usually a cute cocktail person, but this place is legit! It lives up to the hype in terms of the speakeasy vibes. You walk in through a back alley and the only way to really find the building is to look for the number on the door. There's a phone number listed to call someone to open the door. The space itself is really cool, with dim lighting and eccentric decorations. The cocktail menu was really interesting and funky. The staff were knowledgeable and provided drink recommendations based on our preferences. A lot of the drinks had some ingredients you wouldn't expect, but there are tons of choices, so there's something for everyone. We tried the Velvet Revolver, Hired Gun, and Downpour. The Downpour was my favorite, with a combination of tropical flavors that reminded me of vacation. I'd recommend if you're looking for good vibes and solid drinks.

3.5/5. It is actually one of the harder speakeasies to find. Chill cool ambience but with a time limit. Drinks are fine, some innovative like cash only, some regular. Not so good food menu, eat before you go. Parking is street, hit or miss.

First of all this place is SO HARD TO FIND because it's in a dark alley but after we did a little googling we were in business. The inside is so cute and cozy and such great speakeasy vibes. We tried 4 different drinks and they were all so well crafted and unique. I think our favorite was the tuxedo connection just because it was a flavor journey with the butter pecan ice cream and then the mushroom. So unique!!

It's rare find speakeasy bar in Boston. OFFSUIT offers great vibe, service and cocktails! Their cocktail selections are creative and great taste, which is not easy to get! I had two cocktails, both are good and definitely wanna visit again. Already recommended to many of my friends.

We had the best time at this speakeasy! Great ambiance with great music and cool vibes. I talk about the restaurant lighting in almost every review, but I think decor and general ~feel~ of a space is so important for a speakeasy/ intimate drinking setting and Offsuit nailed it. It's warm, cozy, and romantic while still being cheeky and fun. I even found some little friends to sit on our table, and a few of the staff commented on it which I found really cute. I walked in knowing what I wanted to order, and ordered it 3 more times lol! I highly recommend the Downpour if you go when it's available (I also really appreciate that the menu rotates, such a nice touch). It's a matcha and rum cocktail that is not too sweet and I'm still daydreaming about. My boyfriend did the opposite and jumped all over the menu and wanted to try everything! The only drink of his I didn't love was the clickbait because it kind of tasted like how a tire smells but that could be because my drink was so much sweeter lol. Even though I didn't love that drink, I still thought it was a really well made cocktail. All of the drinks we tried were so good, honestly you can't go wrong here, the menu is curated perfectly and you can always ask for suggestions! Cocktails are $16 each which is so reasonable given the environment you enjoy them in and how well made they are. I recommend a reservation, as a couple who showed up at the same time as us was told there would be a 2 hour wait! However we did come here around 9:30pm on a Friday night, so if you don't have a res, I would recommend a non-weekend or coming earlier. Staff was so nice and time just flew by as we sat and chatted. Cannot recommend this place enough! (If you can find it! :) )

Great ambiance. To get in you have to find the back door in the alleyway and give them a call. The drinks are indeed very good. Haven't tried their food yet but we will be back another time. Everyone there is pretty chill. I can just go there, grab a drink, and vibe with their good music selection. A small Boston gem!

I've been to Offsuit many times, and it's somewhere that I'm always sure to bring friends who are visiting from out of town. Are they slightly disturbed at first by the sketchy alley I take them down? Yes. But then they see the door magically open and we're whisked away into the den of libations. The menu is structured in general categories, based on the strength of the spirit (i.e. do you want a sipper or something that will go down quickly). I find this is a helpful organizational pattern. The focus here is definitely on unique cocktails and less on the food, although they do have a relatively small food menu and the chicken wings are tantalizing. There is also the burger if you're looking for something a little heavier. I appreciate that the bartenders are just as happy to make something on the menu as they are to make a custom creation suited to my tastes--I just love the latter! I won't comment on the specific cocktails because the flavor profiles are such that you just have to try them. I will say the Mountain Dew-esque one is not my favorite, but overall, I have been more than pleased with the quality of the drinks here. It doesn't hurt that there is always some combo of hip-hop and top 40 bumping in the background, and I'm always seated at the tables in the back left corner, which is my favorite little spot. I haven't written a review for Offsuit until now only because it has felt like a little secret. But the world deserves to know--come by! You'll be glad you did.

I was really excited about the exclusivity and vibe of this speakeasy. The drinks didn't have the elevated flavor or strength that one would expect. The people next to me enjoyed the expresso drink. The service was not incredibly friendly. The food portion was skimpy, white overpriced. I paid about $20 for 7 shrimp. They were however fresh. The burger was about $20 as well. It's slightly bigger than a JR. Whopper. I hear that it was good but not worth $20. The ambience is nice. I had a better experience at Drink. Both need reservations for the most part.

Hard to find(as it should!!) Great ambient. Great staff. Drinks were very tasty and reasonably priced. Chicken nuggets were amazing. Cookies and milk is delicious, the milk is strong!!! Highly recommended for a date night.

I was super excited to visit this place with my husband while we were in town visiting Boston. It was super hard to find which was great in my opinion as it is a speakeasy. The ambience was nice. The staff were friendly. We didn't have any food but we had a couple cocktails (for two for my husband and for me). There was not one cocktail between the two of us that either of us had enjoyed. We choked them down, but unfortunately paid $75 for nearly undrinkable cocktails that did not really meet the description on the menu. Needless to say, we were disappointed. I think the place has potential but they need to taste their drinks before they sell them. It's hard to believe that anyone would enjoy those cocktails. We noticed people around us, struggling with them as well. If you make it there, good luck!

Great speakeasy in a back alley where you need to call the phone number at the door to get in. I would only suggest a group of 4 max as it is small. A group of 3 of us went on a Friday night around 7:30pm and we were able to get in immediately, however the couple before us were told they had an hour wait. Come early on a weekend, unless you don't mind the wait. The hostess will take down your number and contact you when there is a table available. Cocktails are $16. I got the electric word, which I recommend. I would recommend the Stiletto if you want something light and very fruity/sweet. I like how their menu also has a sentence under each drink, as stiletto said "let them eat cake". Each page has a category of how strong the drinks are. Service was great. They share a bathroom with the restaurant.

I highly recommend this speakeasy! If you can find it of course! My friend & I spent a good amount of time walking aimlessly looking for this spot but thanks to the landmarks photographed on Yelp, we were able to find it! Small, intimate spot. Several tables & a couple of seats at the bar. Great selection of cocktails. They were all super tasty, strong, & unique.

Came here with a friend for a girls night out, and we loved it! We are both big fans of speakeasies, and this one felt more neighborhood like and less like a tourist attraction. I'm not a huge drinker, but ended up getting two drinks because Ioved my first drink so much! Here's what I ordered: Espresso fucking martini- this was wonderful! I'm picky about espresso martinis- I've definitely ordered ones that I've not enjoyed, and this is the best one I've had in Boston! Highly recommend Downpour- I was really excited about this one- it had matcha coconut cream, pineapple, cucumber, and toasted sesame. The flavor was good but it was served over lots of ice (so I didn't feel like I actually had a lot of drink). I would have loved if it were blended like a pina colada. Overall a fun speakeasy in Boston to check out

This was such a cozy speakeasy with so many delicious cocktails! It was our first stop in Boston, and it was an excellent welcome to the city. I loved the mixed nuts and shishitos, and my boyfriend was so impressed with his smash burger that he almost ordered another one! Our server took very good care of us. I'm so happy we found this gem!

I think this place is great. A classic speakeasy that isn't over the top. Super small (maybe fits 20 people max) cozy decor and atmosphere. I've been three times now and the cocktails we've had are excellent and very reasonably priced for what they are $16 drink. Love the six second rule, espresso martini, and opening ceremony. Lost a star because it can be tricky to get in and I would expect servers to make more recommendations on drinks.

We were recommended to stop in to OFFSUIT by our server at Row34 she told us to visit Sam, and I was not disappointed. This is such a cute and intimate little space tucked away in the back of another restaurant. I had the espresso martini and it was delicious. Getting to this spot was also fun and a little creepy lol it is down an alley and a random locked door that you have to call in to have them open. So cool will be back thanks again for the great time.

If you're looking for a speakeasy type of night, you must go find Offsuit. (Hint: the entry is down an alley). Everything is so well done, so much attention to detail from the decor, overall vibe, the menus and of course food and drinks. Offsuit was unforgettable, you must go check it out.

I am so excited that Boston has a speakeasy bar that's ACTUALLY secretive! Thanks to some reviews my friend and I were able to find the entrance haha their cocktails are innovative, bites were yummy (food is a bit pricey, so would recommend just doing drinks), and the vibes were fun! The waitstaff were attentive and kind. All in all, had a blast!
