He'll sling you whiskey, chase with stout, Then laugh when you forget your tab's about. A storyteller, sly and quick, He'll trade your woes for a dirty trick. So bang your mug, let the rafters shake, For Higgins pours more than your liver can take.

We had some really good food to Nosh on and a good glass of wine and I highly recommend that if you want to come out with a bunch of girlfriends and just powered up be social and dance come here did you know that this was a jail before? A lot of young people and groups of people, company parties, etc. Classy joint.

This stylish neighborhood lounge had a fun crowd and welcoming atmosphere. think creative cocktails, great music, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to settle in for the night. What really made the night unforgettable was the incredible service, especially from bartender Kurt. That guy is an absolute rockstar behind the bar! Kurt was not only fast and efficient even as the place filled up, but he was genuinely awesome--super friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. He remembered our group's preferences after the first round, suggested some killer custom twists and has great energy and humor. His positive attitude and top-notch mixology skills turned a good night into a fantastic one. If you're going, ask for Kurt or Lucia you won't be disappointed! The crowd was a mix of locals and college kids. It's the kind of place that feels like your new regular spot after just one visit. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back- thanks again to Kurt for providing an amazing experience!

When you come in, its a smoke shop, but when you head up the elevator, you're let out into this cool little vibe of a place, that makes you feel like you're in a speakeasy! The vibes were vibin, the lights were down low, they music was full blown 90s rnb and hip hop, and just let me tell you, the staff was legit! They just knew what to do, and did the thang! All the drinks we tried were absolutely delicious, I don't even know what I had, I just said make something great and they did! The bartenders were great with checking in on everyone. The doorman and another guy who was in and out of the bar were great with checking in on everyone, making you smile, and the overall atmosphere was great! We of course, talked to everyone, and made friends while we were there. Great way to start off our New England tour!

The best way I can describe Apex is like a tiny hideaway inside of Boston. This rooftop bar is…read moretucked away in a space with probably less than 30 seats, which is nice to create than infimate feel. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar hoping to grab a drink and apps. We learned they don't have food here but that was okay. I was feeling adventurous so I decided to order the surprise drink made for you by the bartender. She asked me what type of alcohol I liked, and what sort of drink I wanted. I mentioned soemthing sweet with a tequila. She ended up making me this peach drink with milagro silver tequila. I asked her to name it and she landed on "peach spritz". It was really good my boyfriend even kept taking sips. Drinks were a little pricey but you're also paying for the rooftop. The view isn't anything crazy as it's only 7 floors up, but the fact that it's so peaceful and private makes it worth it. I really enjoyed my experience here and would come back.

Went here before a concert... cool little hole in the wall place!…read more My drink was excellent. service was prompt, place was small. I'd say it's probably 15 seats on a wrap-around bar or so, with a few outdoors and a few by the window. Chandeliers galore. Not my style though, and the chairs all had pretty scratched-up leather. My friend thought the flavors of her drink were overpowering (chocolate shavings on ice and mango) but the "honey" drink was easy and smooth!

Fortunately, it seems like they are no longer standing room only and there are seats around the bar along with a few high tables. We were seated at the bar immediately. The cocktail selection was pretty diverse and they offered a few small bites. I had the ORCHARD IT and my friend had the PANDAN OF. Both of us enjoyed our selections but as other reviewers said, the drinks seemed slightly under-poured for what we paid. The volume in my drink came up to about halfway of the height of the large ice cubes. Service was quick, the bartenders attentive. Cute decorations and overall nice ambience. I might consider going back!

This? Absolute trainwreck. Drinks? Fine. Views? Gorgeous. But everything else? Trash. Food came out on cafeteria-style trays, glasses were dirty, and our server looked like she wanted to walk off the roof rather than take care of guests. I get that it's Labor Day weekend and nobody wants to work, but wow, that was baddddddd. We slammed our drinks and got out. For a Marriott charging these insane prices, this level of quality is embarrassing.
