    what an amazing cozy spot! very sultry inside with the ability to lounge and talk on couches. it's an elevated space with an upscale menu. bartenders are very knowledgeable and drinks come out quickly. think your favorite cocktails but with a modern twist. vibes are high and the drinks are delicious. i'm always a fan of a spot that offers small bites and the truffle fries were truly wonderful as a night cap for me.

    Wow, this Cocktail Bar is one of a kind! My colleague and I held a work happy hour event here in October and the entire staff did such a great job of catering to our needs and ensuring we always had a tasty drink in our hand! :) Upon stepping foot inside of this place, you can feel the unique vibe - it's just really fun and yet has a quirky chemist-like feel to it with the tile around the bar area and the decor arranged inside. Although it's not an incredibly large space it is set up really cool with pockets of seating throughout. There's also even a DJ booth in the corner of this place which they have live DJ music selection nights!! The main thing that blew me away with the Chemist Cocktail Bar was the "All Smoke, No Fire" Smoke-Infused Bourbon. Holy smokes was that one smooth drink!! I have yet to find a bar that can make a drink like that near me. So whenever I visit Boston next you can be sure to find me at this bar with one of those smoke-infused bourbons - yum!!

    The silent spritz and Paloma-loma
    Drashti T.

    When we first walked in, they had great music and a very fun atmosphere. We wanted to come here for drinks and dinner but kitchen closed at 8 and we came at 8. I got the silent spritz and it was delicious. It was pretty sweet but that's how I like my drinks. I tried the Paloma-loma and it was very strong but stilled tasted good. Overall a good place for a girls night out

    The Improbable Flip
    Florence K.

    This place feels like a dive bar meet cocktail pace. There was a dj in the back and before a certain time, the bartender will come by and take your order. I got the improbably flip which was a bit too strong for me and not exactly to my liking. However, I would come back to try the other drinks!

    Skewers and soft pretzels

    Stopped in for dinner the other night. Had a carlsberg beer at the bar, got some soft pretzels to start which came with cheese and mustard and for the main dish got the chicken skewers with rice and veggies. It was delicious. Really cool vibe as well

    Ambiance is a mix between sports bar and cocktail lounge. Food was pretty good. I got the fish and chips and It only came with one piece of fish. I ordered chimichurri sauce (which was listed with another dish) and they gave me it complementary which was nice. The server was prompt and nice. Prices were standard for the area.

    Pornstar cocktail

    Really good bar for drinks, had a live dj playing some good beats. Drinks were good not watered down

    Aperol Spritz

    The Chemist is Boston's best hidden gem! It's quickly become my crew's go to place. Right by South Station in FiDi, so super easy to hit up after work (or for your lunch break). Well priced, strong drinks and mouthwatering food. Pro tip - the truffle fry + espresso martini combo is elite! The best part though is the immaculate energy with live DJs most nights. The music matches the lounge atmosphere and after a few drinks you might find yourself on the dance floor with friends (speaking from experience). The Chemist is easily an up and coming hot spot. Grab your squad and check it out before it gets too crazy popular. See you there!

    New bar in FiDi! Beautifully decorated with comfortable seating. Love all the couches to make it comfortable to talk to people. Staff was super helpful walking through the menu and checking up on us. Drinks were nice and well priced for the area! Definitely a great after work spot. Looking forward to coming back and trying more cocktails and some food- maybe even staying for the DJ

    Summer's here so it's time to hit up the rooftop bars and enjoy the beautiful weather! Sky Lounge…read moreis located on the top floor of the Yotel Hotel. Once you get in, there's a small lounge area on the left and then a larger lounge area straight ahead where the bar is. They have small tables with couches and local artwork ond display. For their drinks, their mixed drinks are average, but they only had 3 beers on draft which was a disappointment. They do serve some bar food and snacks, but like the drinks they're overpriced. I've been here twice and there's usually a wait for the rooftop. Once on a Saturday I was quoted up to a 3 hour wait that was actually 45 minutes and on a Sunday it was a 15 minute wait. I put my name down and got a friendly text when my turn was up. The view is pretty good, but not the best since it's not by the water so it's mostly looking at the city and large apartment complexes. The rooftop is small with 4-5 tables, a TV, and some seats. It seems like they allow around 40 people in at a time. Overall, this a cool place to hang out with friends this summer!

    Who doesn't love a Penthouse bar?…read more After you enter Yotel, make a left to the elevators. Once inside, hit that shiny PF button and enjoy the ride. I like how it is set up like a lounge, where they have couches available for big and small groups. You can also just sit at the bar to grab a drink. There are also tables on the terrace, but it is not always open during the winter months. When the door is unlocked, it is worth checking out the view for a couple of minutes. The bartenders can be a bit hit-and-miss, depending on the night. I wouldn't take that personally. Just order your drink and focus on your company. They will come around like 15 minutes before closing and asking you to close your tabs. Supposedly their lobby bar stays open later than 11 PM, but my friends and I tried going then got turned away by the lobby bar as well. I have always had GIN CRAZE $14 (Beefeater gin, lemon, simple, raspberry puree). It is pretty solid.

    While in town we got tickets to catch DJ Pauly D here since why not for a house club night out…read more Quick security check in, coat check was easy & then on our way. Nice set up as u make your way up, once inside it opens up to a pretty large space. They have a few bars around which made it relatively easy to get drinks. Tito's & seltzer & Gin & Ginger ale were our drinks for the night, decent for the night. Once DJ Pauly D hit the stage the place had a crazy fun vibe, if u watched the Jersey Shore show u can appreciate it but even if u never watched I must say it was a fun, energetic show & the music was good overall. Good sound system, lights & depending where u were standing decent amount of space to Dance the night away, we had a good night!

    This is one of the worst nightclubs I have ever been to…read more There was a pretty popular DJ playing here that I was ecstatic to see, so I bought tickets in advance to go see them. It was also one of the official afterparties for Breakaway Mass. The ticket I purchased was also for "floor standing" btw. Little did I know that the "floor" I was expecting to be on when I purchased my ticket online was actually the entire vip area that was barricaded. So the actual dance floor where the DJ is, is ridiculously far from common areas that it just made it hard to enjoy. If that's how it was going to be, AT LEAST PUT THAT SOMEWHERE???? I never would have gone and wasted my time in the first place!! Extremely misleading. At least it was only $25. If you weren't in VIP, you had to be above the stairs next to the bar area and the sofas where there's even less space! Additionally, the crowd here is weak and rude. The workers seemed rude too. Everybody, including those on the dance floor were just standing and going on their phones, not a single person dancing. You needed a wristband to go down to the vip area, and I also noticed only a certain type of person was getting wristbands to go down there *cough cough* ANYWAYS, this was my first impression of Boston nightlife and it was clearly not a good one. At least this subpar experience was good for one thing: it's made me realize how ever-so grateful I am to be a socal resident where nightlife is much better and I will never take it for granted again so thank you :)

    Starting with the most important part- FOOD: If it's a table…read moreshare, you'll have to order multiple apps. But all the apps were cooked very well, delicious. Ribs perfect, glad they were meaty pieces and not scrawny bones. Entrees: (and yes I tried all!) I am a steak fiend and was expecting more from the pallet but it was just eh OK. Salmon was dry and bland wish it was paired with a sauce and side dish but it was a big portion of just rice and fish. The BEST dish was the creole pasta and the two piece. I was not expecting that two piece to be the entire fowl! It was huge and tasty, not dry, biscuit was sweet and moist ! But the entrees are a good portion ! Ambience: Chic music lounge. Atmosphere is nice. It's a small/tight place, the pictures make it look bigger. We were a party of 6, sat at a booth. So some will have their back towards the stage but there's a tv screen of live view. Service: waitress was nice/attentive until it got later. Then it was harder to get someone to our table. the place turned more into a full lounge. Singer/band: perfect Drinks- kudos to the bar tenders: just right! Mixed well! Gratuity and an entertainment fee are included in the bill. Would I go back- YES

After our night out, we all had mixed feelings about our experience. The interior is beautiful. It's classy and fun setting the scene for a nice vibe. service was nice but slow, we needed to flag down our waiter a couple times so we could order food. Some of the things we ordered were the fried catfish nuggets, braised oxtails, Mac and cheese and steak frites. Fried catfish bites were okay, the oxtail dish was tender but too sweet, Mac and cheese was standard and the steak was dry. I never mind paying top dollar for amazing dishes but these weren't it for us. Drinks were good though and the music was great. I'd suggest coming just to listen to a great live band and a nightcap.

The feta was soft and creamy, wrapped in fried phyllo, and soaked in honey. So unbelievably delicious. The spanakopita was also a favorite for us--it was served on a bed of tzatziki and was perfectly seasoned. The dip trio was generally delicious, but the butternut squash hummus was a bit underwhelming. The scallops were tasty, but perhaps a bit overcooked. I did really enjoyed our the gnocchi moussaka but it is a bit salty. Service was quick and our server made sure to check in with us multiple times throughout the night. It definitely felt like a more loud and lively environment. A great option in Seaport that I will keep on my list!

The sushi is fresh and nicely presented, and the specialty rolls feel creative without being overcomplicated. The hot dishes are flavorful and come out well-timed, which makes sharing easy and enjoyable. We tried the Peking duck, which was flavorful and similar to other high-quality versions we've had in the past. The mapo tofu was also good, though not as numbing as we would've liked.
