No hard feelings but I just wasn't impressed with this place. We got stuck sitting right by the door which meant we were freezing especially every time someone came in. The drinks are very overpriced ($18) and I would be fine paying that if the drinks were amazing but it seems like they spend more time on the presentation than the taste. And finally the menu was completely different than what's posted online. For someone who has food restrictions, that's a little annoying. Overall, it's a nice place, great little speakeasy in an easy to get to location and even has parking. Service was great too. I just don't think it's worth the price and the drinks won't make me come back.

Such a fun time! I feel like this place was actually a speakeasy, hidden and with a password. I made a reservation for a large party and we were promptly seated. Inside is big enough to fit a couple tables and bar seating. Kitchen closes at 11pm and last call was around 10:45pm. We got there for our 10:30pm seating and ordered almost the entire menu! Everything tasted sooo delicious! I was surprised at the quality of food given it was a speakeasy bar. The drinks were also very special and we even shared the fishbowl at the end! Some of the drinks came with a show, some came with a nice presentation. Their music selection was also on point! Overall, we had a great time and I would definitely come back with friends!

Next Door is the perfect spot for your next date night or girls night out! Nextdoor has a classy, intimate , and sexy ambiance that makes it a fun late night spot. I love the elevated decor and that you feel like you're in a hidden cellar. The cocktail menu is very unique and playful - you can tell a lot of thought went into the drinks. My first round was the starboy which was fruity and a bit sour - the dry ice presentation was fun as well. My second was the Walter white which tasted like a fruity soda and was even served with a little blue bag of rock candy to resemble breaking bad. Very fun experience and both drinks were not strong but had a kick. Service is very attentive!

Wow! Loved this speakeasy. Drinks and ambiance were so pretty. Service was awesome and we sat next to the bar. The bartender was so open to help guide us through the menu and made me my own drink based on what i liked! Loved coming here and will be back.

The drinks here are out of this world. The flavor combination and balance is mind blowing. Super cute vibes and very good, friendly service. I was so lucky to find it when I went to visit Boston. Can't wait to come back again

A bit out of the way from the regular Boston area, but well worth it for a fun experience! The vibes were really fun! Make a res, check the res for info beforehand, and have a fun time!! Really chill yet lowkey fancy vibes inside. The drinks are really really fun! With a fancy presentation. Good ol speakeasy vibes Got the - Catch Me If You Can (fun presentation) - Serenade (seasonal but not super special imo) - Walter White (would get again) - Starboy (really yummy)

The best, most creative, delicious, and beautifully/originally presented cocktails I've EVER had. Gorgeous interior with the perfect vibes for a speakeasy. A must visit bar for anyone in Boston! Service is always great and while the drinks can be pricey, they are seriously worth every penny. A great spot for a romantic date night or fun night of cocktails with the girls. Can't say enough good things about this place.

If I could recommend only one bar in Boston, it would be this! Refer to my earlier review! Been here SO MANY TIMES! Best speakeasy, great drinks and wonderful time! Good vibes!

This was so much fun, and definitely worth the visit. The atmosphere is swanky yet cozy, without being pretentious. This was an impromptu trip, and neither of us had fancy outfits which made me a little nervous, but our "business casual" attire didn't leave us sticking out too badly. I felt like the Tier 2 shellfish tower was a worthy splurge, and I love places that essentially serve snacks to share, so this was right up my alley. That being said, the cocktails were the star here, so even if you just go for a drink, it's a lovely experience.

I really enjoyed Next Door. I thought the food and drink were great, even if service was a bit off. You enter through Pazza on Porter and advise the staff you are there for Next Door. We were a bit early and they wouldn't take us until our reservation time, which is fine. But since they wouldn't seat us early, they then didn't take us to Next Door until after our reservation. Instead, they took those who arrived later than us and with later reservations. And then we get in there and the place was not at all full. Make it make sense. Anyway, once we get to Next Door, the staff is really friendly. It's so pretty inside. Their cocktail selection is really awesome. Food selection is super curated and there were definitely a few dishes I liked. I loved my cocktails, especially La Ultimate Vez. In another make it make sense moment, I asked for no aioli on my tuna tacos, so they added roe, which doesn't come on the tacos? I had to send it back. My friend and I were so confused. Clearly, not the brightest here, hence the three stars. Though it wasn't our server's fault--she was amazing. But once they got it right, it was delicious. And so was the ceviche. The fish was fresh and tasty. I'd return but pray for better service.

It's definitely an experience. Don't go without a reservation. If you can find it (good luck *giggle*) you'll have to wait to be taken back. Once you're being escorted, prepare for the experience. It's actually really cute if you like that kind of thing. The cocktails were lovely, but I didn't care for the wines. The food was nice, but missed a little on flavor. The presentation, however, was top notch. Overall a good experience.

I've heard this is one of the best speakeasies in Boston and I can see why! This was a very traditional speakeasy where the entrance is hidden and you have to go through the pizzeria and answer a riddle and give a passcode for the door! It was so fun and really amplified the experience of the place! Upon entering, the space is really small but elegantly designed and they have a mix of classy and fun drinks! I tried the lock and key (clear) and this blue bag one that's supposed to be breaking bad crystal meth vibes with the fun touch of the rock candy! The drinks itself were both flavors I didn't expect and not as sweet which made them just ok. The lock and key was giving aloe juice and the blue drink was more sour than expected, almost lemony. Presentation was a 5/5 though and it was a nice surprise when they gave the lock and key drink in a treasure chest teeming with dry ice! Would recommend coming here at least once for the experience!

Don't waste your time. There are a bunch of other speak easy type bars that blow this out of the water. The service is also below par.

My mouth waters at the memory. They are decent sized and you get 4, plus a massive tower of also very good onion rings. The onion rings were good no complaints but after the sliders nothing was going to compare so I kind of forgot any opinions I had on them.

We finished by ordering the plate of sliders and by far, the best pub sliders I have ever had! Everything we ate was amazing. Izzy was energetic and never let our glasses go empty!

After nearly an hour, we were offered a spot that didn't even accommodate our party of four, leaving one person to stand the entire time with a "seat" on what appeared to be a bookshelf. It felt disorganized and awkward. We would have preferred not to be seated at all, especially since we left another spot (that sat all 4 of us) around the corner once we got off the waitlist. The $22+ cocktails were "pre-batched" (aka, pre-made), which further diminished the experience. While the atmosphere is stylish and fitting for a night out, the overall experience didn't justify the wait or price. I also genuinely didn't enjoy a single drink. I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than two.

Yvonne's feels less like a restaurant and more like stepping into a production. On a Friday night…read moredate night, the place was absolutely buzzing, but somehow built to handle it. The scale of the room is genuinely impressive, leaning heavily into old-world glamour with dark velvet, chandeliers, gold accents, hidden rooms, and cocktails that feel theatrical. It's loud, energetic, and unapologetically designed for celebration nights. That said, the experience was not quite as intimate as I had hoped for. We were seated in the corner of the two-person table section, and I ended up sitting almost at the "head" of the area looking down the row of tables. It felt oddly exposed and very close to everyone around us. Instead of feeling tucked away on date night, it felt more like being inserted into the movement of the restaurant itself. The service reflected some of that energy too. The staff was clearly trying their best in a packed room, but the pace felt a little slow and chaotic at times. The food, however, was consistently excellent. The Duck Prosciutto was one of the most balanced dishes of the night. Every component stood out individually, from the manchego pimento cheese to the quince syrup and smoked almonds, yet somehow everything came together in what felt like a perfect symphony. The Seared King Trumpet Mushrooms were lighter and more restrained, but still hearty and satisfying. The Mediterranean Octopus was outstanding, easily up there with some of the best octopus dishes I've had around Boston. The Borek Spring Rolls were playful and delightful, with a shell so light and crisp that the dish never felt heavy. The Lazy Lobster Dumplings were dangerously good, rich with black truffle butter but balanced enough that I could have eaten endless plates of them. Even the Bavette Steak delivered exactly what it needed to, especially with the anchovy butter adding that deep savory punch I love. Yvonne's absolutely earns its reputation as one of Boston's premier dining scenes. It is expensive, but the atmosphere, execution, and location all make it feel intentional rather than inflated. Still, I left feeling like it shines brightest as a group-night or celebration restaurant rather than a truly intimate date spot. I would absolutely go back, but next time I'd want a table of four instead of two.

I debated describing our interaction in full detail, but really, who wants to read all of that. So here's the nitty gritty: get there early to get in line. When you reach the door do not wait for someone to come out. Walk through and ask for a table. They do not take reservations at this place so if there's entitled people complaining in the line behind you that someone in their party "made a reservation", they don't know what they're talking about. There really doesn't seem to be a very organized process of getting people sat efficiently at this place at all. And if they tell you there's "standing room only", good luck. There really isn't anywhere comfortably to stand without feeling like you're crowding in on another diners space. And furthermore, if you're utilizing "standing room only" to wait for a table there's no one to effectively determine who's next to be sat, where to sit them, etc. Honestly, it's like the Hunger Games of fancy, overpriced cocktail bars. Wild. I gave it two stars for the view and ambiance because who doesn't love a moody vibe with a cool city view. If they got their process and procedures polished up this place would be worth it for the experience. Otherwise, there's plenty of other awesome places in Boston.

We walked in without reservations and they were fully booked for the night, but they do have bar seating and a couple of side tables where you can grab a quick bite from the full menu. The ambiance is a 10/10. The decor is insane in the best way. The red chandeliers are stunning, the bar setup is perfection, and the low lighting with the table centerpieces really ties everything together. Even the bathrooms were insanely beautiful which is crazy to say but it stood out. It's rare to find restrooms that are that clean and well-designed. The drinks were great. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I got, but it had red sugar on the rim and it perfectly matched the whole aesthetic of the restaurant.
