Cocktails

Roxanne's has some of the best cocktails in the city and is always a fun vibe. If you like matcha, order the In Tokyo, it's one of the most delicious cocktails I've EVER had. The interior is cute and playful while also being dark and romantic. Highly recommend as a pre/post game spot or a date for casual drinks with your date or friends.

Sugar cookie latte
Kylie B.

I LOVED the February/Valentines cocktails I drank at Roxanne's! I wasn't sure how I'd like an alcoholic matcha but the "in Tokyo" was so creamy and delicious. I also had the "sugar cookie latte" which tasted as scrumptious as it sounds. The cocktails were pretty reasonably priced for Boston ($12-16). The music was kind of silly and went in and out of being super loud/dancy to slow/quieter, which fit the Saturday night ambiance of half people huddled around the bar and a few with reserved seating. The bartenders were super sweet and the hosting staff even fit my friend and I into a booth without a res which was so nice! Would come back for a girls night for sure :)

Old fashioned

While we were in Boston for a vacation my husband wanted to seek out a unique bar for some late night drinks and we decided to try Roxanne's. They seemed very impressed with themselves and not very friendly imo. My husband and I enjoyed our drinks, however. He got an old fashioned and another drink I cant quite remember the name of. I asked for something similar to a sangria and it was very good whatever it was- but when i asked for another the next bartender had no idea how to replicate it. Prices were a little steep, but it was in the city so I am not surprised.

Amazing cocktails! Great service. Love the vibes. Live music was playing one of the nights we were there. Definitely coming back

Roxanne's is a very fun cocktail bar with a cute but small menu. The menu does change regularly, so if you fall in love with a drink there- go often before it's gone! I recommend making reservations before going on an evening or weekend. They do limit your time here which is a bummer but it a way that more people can enjoy and try the place. The service is alright, nothing too crazy. When they get busy, you will be forgotten about but it's a busy cocktail bar, can't hold them to it. The decor is amazing, girly, cutesy!! It's always a must to take a photo in their bathroom mirror, best lighting around. I love Roxanne's!

Burger

I came across this place on Yelp when trying to locate somewhere for drinks. It was about half full on a Saturday afternoon with a good amount of the other tables previously reserved. Fortunately there were two seats a the bar which was much better than the seats facing the wall where the hostess had place us initially. I tried their Fortune teller while my friend got a burger medium well and a ginger beer mock tail. The bartender made refreshing and easy to sip on cocktails. Burger and steak fries did the job as stated by my friend. Overall, I had a good experience in a youthful and lively environment. The whole bar was flooded with people by the time we left around 9 pm. Staff were friendly and prompt with completing our requests. Would come again.

Potato Wedges
Emma C.

This bar has a fun vibe with some good drinks. It's a bit empty earlier in the night so plan to go a bit later after 10ish if you would like a livelier night. We both ended up getting the 'For the Girls' drink. It was strong, fruity, and very sweet. We also got a plate of their potato wedges - it tasted like the frozen kind from the supermarket, but made for good bar food after a few drinks.

For the Girls
Kim M.

Love their cocktails!!! They were so unique and delicious. Went here for a girls night and majority of us literally ordered a drink called For the Girls. It was a hit!

Dominique D.

Such a cute place with great cocktails and snacks! The place is so eclectic inside and has neon signs everywhere. Went with a party of 7 on a Friday night. Our server was super accommodating and kind. We got a ton of snacks: the shishito peppers, fried goat cheese (my fav), and fries. All very tasty! For drinks I got the naked and instafamous and the staycation. Both so good! I'd definitely come again with friends for both the drinks and snacks.

Roxanne's is the most adorable cocktail bar, and great for girl's night (or a date)! The drinks are great, and the drink menu is curated with care from what I could tell. I have also been for dinner, and although service was slightly disappointing, the apps we shared completely made up for it. Overall such a fun little spot for a night out!

Lisa J.

I celebrated my birthday at Roxanne's this past February. The vibe is just so cute and girly pop. I was so excited to be with my friends in such a cute place. They were playing the best music I could've asked for from Beyoncé to rap to pop. We luckily got to snag some seats in the back and spent the whole night laughing and drinking. The drinks are definitely on the pricey side, but that's Boston for you. I would definitely come back and celebrate another special event here!!

Fries
Jillian B.

Roxannes is a neat cocktail bar, with lots of flamingos and neon lights, making for a fun evening cocktail spot! We got 2 rounds of drinks and some bites to share. I really enjoyed all of the cocktails (of course I had to try a sip of my friend's!) and would say my favorite was the Wake Up Call. We also got some food, which was a bit underwhelming. While I really liked the bacon Brussel sprouts, the Mac and cheese was a miss (not much flavor, watery). That said, this place really seems to be known for cocktails, which they do very well. Service was okay, and there's a 90 minute limit on tables so you cant linger too much. All in all, I would recommend Roxannes for the cocktails and atmosphere.

Rox M.

Had to try the spot while in Boston for a show since that's my name! We went right when they opened, wish I could've gone later in the evening for a full experience, no complaints though. Cool vibe.

Love in Tokyo

Is the high tops or standard seating better?

Standard seating is better with a group, high tops may be better if you're by yourself in my opinion.

Can someone underage come with an older group and just order snacks or is 21+ required for admission?

Hi we are 21+ sorry

Is there a dinner menu? I can't seem to find it here or on your website

There's a Snacks menu. A few photos of it appear here on Yelp.

Good for dancing?

Yes, they have DJ till they closed.

For large format, is it possible to request the ice cream social for 2 people?

Yeah I’m sure we could make it work.

We arrived for our whirlwind 1 day Boston day with a few things planned. The Wig Shop was a spot I had earmarked as a maybe. On the way to Boston by train from New York, I read an article of great bars in all of America, and the Wig Shop had made their list. I showed my gal as we were in route to Boston, and we agreed that Karma was leading us there. I checked about a reservation, but ended up going over early to try and beat the walk in crowd. That worked out great, we had almost no wait. The place was full. There were alot of people enjoying the food menu, which we didn't plan on since we had dinner reservations elsewhere for later. But we got a couple of drinks. There are many types of speakeasies. The Wig Shop is one of favorite kinds, classy. The drinks were alcohol forward, with elegant presentations. It was perfect. It was nice that the universe pointed us towards this great Boston spot.

It responded right away that it would optimize for a place that appeals to cocktail nerds and is open on Mondays. I directed me to Wig Shop, and said that Wig Shop even has a cocktail named in honor of John Gertsen, Boston's much-missed (he's in SF, last I knew) founding bartender at Drink and Number Nine Park. Wig Shop did not disappoint: fabulous cocktails, an easygoing vibe (my two buddies and I were able to chat without yelling from 8pm until 11:30), comfortable banquettes (with, incidentally, backs that are high enough to be supportive but low enough that you can spread out your arms on them), and wonderful service. The service, in particular, lives up to the "cocktail nerd" aspect that the LLM highlighted: our server knew the drinks backwards and forwards, and knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned the drink in Gertsen's honor. I'd recommend this place to cocktail nerds, and to anyone who wants to have a drink and chat with friends. We'll be back soon.
