"Listening bars are taking over Boston, and we’re welcoming the takeover. There are three new cocktail bars on this list alone that are in that genre: Temple Records in Downtown Crossing, Trillium’s new Headroom Hi-Fi Lounge, and, as of October, Spy Bar in the South End. You’ll find classic drinks here, as well as a handful of remixed classics, but the highlight of this new cocktail bar and listening lounge is the space on the menu that general manager Marco Anaya has reserved to play around. In the opening menu, that means desserts in drink form, from a Mango Lassi with rum, mango, saffron, and other spices, to a whiskey-soaked Peach Cobbler." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff

Absolutely love this place! It's really quite an experience to walk into a place that has been thoughtfully created around the acoustics. We got there early before it was too busy so we could really hear the clarity of the quality speakers, appreciate all the sound dampening, and the vibe was super cool. The food was clean and fresh. The clarified drinks were the perfect pairing with the clarity of sound in the space. And the curated playlist was "a thing". All songs I've never heard but kept wanting to know who the artist is because it's so good. Definitely recommend.

Spy bar is for the vibes! This place has been thoughtfully designed and the music wasn’t crazy loud even though it’s a listening bar. I love that more of such concepts in the restaurant space are popping up in Boston. Loved the drinks but wasn’t sold so much on the guacamole. The whipped feta was great but felt minuscule in terms of portion size. I felt that the price point was a little too steep but maybe that’s just me.

We were told it’s Day 3 for Spy Bar. Lovely addition to South End area.We love the atmosphere. Great place for cocktails and some small bites (limited choices). Will be a good place for first dates to have a few cocktails and chat. However, if you are hungry, go to Cosmica to have some tacos first!!

Spy Bar is very cool and laid back. The staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make your time there memorable. You’re getting great cocktails, good food, and listening to a whole album. Highly recommend!

Spy Bar is what Boston has been missing - a high quality listening bar with a lounge atmosphere that invites you to stay for hours. With four point hi-fi sound and vinyl selectors from Wednesday - Saturday this is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in exquisite sound. While you listen, enjoy delicious bites and unique cocktails conceptualized by a world renowned mixologist. Try anything and you will taste the love and care that goes into every element of this establishment. They’ve even changed my mind about gin. I typically don’t like it, but with their homemade tonic, their gin and tonic is my new go to. Other favorites so far have been the spinach whipped feta, charcuterie board, and the Pablo Honey. Ideal for a date or just spending time with friends, you won’t want to leave. See you there!

Vibes are on point! A nice chill listening lounge, I could hang out here for hours! The cocktails are very good, but the food was just alright and a little pricey for the portion sizes. Drinks were also a bit pricey, but I expected that. Service was awesome! Our server was super attentive and was really knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations for us.

We had so much fun last night! The vibes were great, the cocktails our server recommended were absolutely delicious, and the music was on top. The staff is seriously so good we had a blast with our server all night. 10/10 across the board

This is exactly what Boston needs. This is an amazing laid back lounge with fantastic music and an incredible vibe. We had a small birthday party here and Mary made the event easy and exactly what we wanted. Sarah Valentina is amazing server and took great care of us !

Went on a Wednesday night with a friend and it was empty. The service was friendly but that was really the only bright spot. My friend and I were both very disappointed with our drinks. I ordered the Pink Panther and quite frankly it tasted like gasoline. The food menu is limited, the guacamole we ordered was bland and we were unable to finish it. There was disco music playing at a reasonable volume but we were left wondering why it is called Spy Bar.

This is a nice spot to listen to great music while enjoying creative drinks. As far as I know, you need a reservation to get in and it's very busy on the weekends. I tried their popular baklava cocktail- it was decently strong, and delicious but didn't taste like baklava. You can get cheaper drinks elsewhere but i think this place is worth checking out for the vibes and unique drinks!

Spy Bar is a must for the craft cocktails, date night ambiance, and yummy thoughtfully crafted bites. My friends and I went for a drink after dinner Friday Night. I really recommend a reservation as it is newer and very busy. Our waitress was an angel. I am also N/A and they had two very cool options for me to enjoy!

This is a great place for a first date, as the music is low enough to have a conversation. The service is great as the server is constantly checking in and making sure you're drink is never empty. Highly reccomend ordering the Pink Panther if you like fruity cocktails. I wasnt a fan of the musix. Overall, good *first* date night place to grab drinks and then go somewhere more lively.

Neither of us were a huge fan of our drinks. The menu was limited and we just had olives to snack on which was fine. The general vibe was nice and music was cool but I expected it to be a vinyl bar with a turntable and instead it was just a regular bar with no turntable and no DJ, just regular music from big speakers. Overall I honestly don't get what makes it a "HiFi listening" bar rather than than just a regular bar. As an alternative I recommend Back Bar in Somerville which has some of the best cocktails in town.

New "speakeasy" alert! You know the rules: if it has a sign on the street showing you where it is, it ain't a full-fledged speakeasy. But it is a business and folks need to know where to find it, so ultimately no harm, no foul. Bonus points for having a completely different vibe from the taqueria and hotel that are its current neighbors. I knew there would be a great sound system, but did not expect the perfectly lit disco ball which cascades across the room and gives this spot the vibe of the basement of your richest friend in high school who lets the kids hang out as much as they'd like. You're either on high tops, low tops, these beautiful, wavy couches, or the bar but the music is the real star of the show with futuristic, high-end speaker towers surrounding the sitting area. The people in charge of music keep the volume high enough so you can hear everything and feel the music, but not too loud to where you're shouting. Something tells me that once they do let loose, it'll be a thumping and a bumping in there! The DJ was very eclectic with familiar soul hits, jazz, funk, Afrobeat (the 70s OG version), hip hop, and R&B. Some tracks were popular and others were deep cuts and that's just how it should be. Food came out fast so don't make the mistake I did of ordering too many plates at once cause you won't have space for all that, your eaters, and your drinks. Go one at a time. The Duck Confit dish (which reminded me of toaster's strudels) and the Brisket were my favs, but there's a lot of veggie options also. These are small plates/bites so don't expect this to be dinner as much as noshes to fuel your convo, drinking, and dancing. The drinks are well thought out and balanced. I actually couldn't see what was on the backbar to judge their full selection, so more to come there. All in all, welcome to the city Spy Bar!

We recently visited Spy Bar and we had a great time. Its a high end listening room with high level audio equipment that makes it stand out from any other places. In combination with excellent music played there - this place is a Boston new gem that is sophisticated and classy. Hope it will stay like that.
