    Cocktails
    Emerson Claire Dlugosinski

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

The Wig Shop was on the list... what a coincidence we were just going to be there. So, obviously, we made it a point to check it out. It was very last minute, so we had no reservations, but we checked opening hours and were there almost on the dot. Thankfully we were able to get in. The way they are setup is that if you are a party of 2, they sit you with another "couple" to maximize space. This is fun, it makes you have conversations with strangers that for the time you are there become "friends". Hopefully you have the same good experience we did and not have anti-social people in front of you. The drinks are fun and strong, and they have a full bar for those who want something more classic or have a drink of choice. They also have food, which looked really good.

In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.
