This restaurant just might have the largest and widest selection of tequila/mezcal in the city. One of the top 2 places for the best margarita as well. However was not expecting the burrito to be as big as it was nor as spicy (still a good thing). Another side note the vibe is just right from the music setting the mood to go with whatever game is on any particular evening. I have been here for UFC events as well, just be mindful there may be covers for these events. read more

The manager is so rude and the food is so mediocre that it makes sense why people are usually only there to drink. read more

Scorpion Bar - Terrible manager. Extremely rude and unattentive. Came here twice and was treated rudely and disrespected. - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Great atmosphere and awesome decor, however the food is not good. I had the fajitas "three amigos", the dish was very dry, and not a lot of flavor. I also tried the chicken enchiladas which were salty, and dry. The salsa that came with the chips was clearly from a jar. This is just bad Mexican food. The drinks aren't good either, the margaritas tasted like they were made from concentrate. Not coming back. read more

This was a really interesting place to eat. The food was great - the tacos were super good and the sauces on the wings were great too. The wing roulette was a fun idea with one of the wings being super spicy (not fun for the person who gets it though). The drinks are very worth it - every drink we got was amazing! I would recommend the fig margarita though. read more

Update: My husband and I decided to try this out again. We worked directly with the manager Jay. He was great. The experience we had on our second visit was definitely better than the first. The margarita tasted 100 times better, I think I just got a bad one last time. We ordered the fajitas to share. They were fine. This place plays the most amazing music always, it's hard not to want to get up and dance. I believe they were working out the kinks since they are new and very busy and I know they will continues to improve, as our second visit was WAY better than the first. read more

Worst bar ever. Went there for the patriots game and it was still 7:50pm and they charged $20 cover charge at that time. So I paid that went up stairs the bar was full with people. So I moved to the other side and then some dude comes over and said I can't stand here need to be at the bar. So when u no that the bar is full of people there is literally no place to stand why charge people $20 to get in when u have no place for them. Big scam... read more

The WORST burrito I have ever had. I couldn't even it it... chicken was chewy and like rubber. Tried to pic it out and it was just like rice in a wrap. We also ordered the guacamole and it was the smallest portion I have ever received with a ton of chips... we get it chips are cheaper to make... not worth the $14 for flavorless guac. My boyfriend got a chicken quesadilla... not sure how you can mess that up and it was OK. If I could give zero stars I would. Sad because I had high hopes. We live in the neighborhood and will not be returning. If I want a burrito I will just go to Boloco they are delicious and $8. ** Disclaimer: This is my first Yelp review ever! I have never taken the time to put down a business but I just can't believe it was so disappointing. :/ read more

The staff is horrible about managing the influx of individuals . You wait in the like for approx 1 hrs outside at 10 and then another hour just to pay. Meanwhile everyone the staff knows just walks in freely . Waste of time and not worth the wait . This place needs to do better . read more

I absolutely hate to add to the terrible reviews of this restaurant because my first time dining here (about a year ago) was a great experience which is why I went back. Unfortunately, this time around was not the same. Like my first time, I came for lunch. The staff was accommodating to my party which included my infant child (thank you for this!). We experienced exceptional customer service and when an order was wrong they fixed it promptly. My issue was the nachos and the taco. The nachos are not worth $23 (that includes the $4 extra for steak). I could count on my one hand how many pieces of steak we had and the nachos were just sub par. Unlike the last time we came they were piled high, melted gooey cheese everywhere and they were hot and just really delicious. In an area where there is so much competition I would think Scorpion Bar would step it up a bit to stand out. Then there was my taco, or lack there of of one. It was so small and just filled with too many tomatoes that I couldn't even taste the fish. I WILL SAY my cousin really enjoyed his California Burrito which I might add was pretty good. The ambiance is fun - however getting there was a bit of a hassle. I went up the wrong elevator and ended up at the Club. Regardless of my experience, it's a fun restaurant with cool drinks and OK food. Maybe I just might have to come for dinner... read more

So I rarely leave poor reviews...but this place needs to be called out. I was denied entry due to a sexist dress code that required men to be in close toed shoes for "safety" reasons meanwhile females were allowed and even encouraged to wear whatever they wanted, including open-toed high heels. It's absurd that I, a gay male with painted toes, not be allowed to enter based on "safety concerns." The bouncers then inquired as to my official birth certificate gender assignment and were very rude and unable to answer questions about the sexist and ridiculously gendered dress code. I cannot believe that in this day and age, places that are supposed to bring people together for merriment and happiness perpetuate such hideous and disgusting gender stereotypes and restrictions. I will certainly be sharing this horrid sexist and discriminatory policy within my community to spread awareness and encourage this place to re-examine its discriminatory entry requirements. read more

My friends and I would come here pretty frequently to get drinks post dinner. We were here last night to celebrate a friends birthday. After paying 10 dollars for entry with no coat check might I add, we were forced to leave the bar early. They refused to let my friend re enter claiming she was drunk because she had lipstick stains on her cheek. Considering she had one drink, that seemed pretty unrealistic. We realized they didn't want to let us renter because there was a long line of people waiting to pay the money to enter. Reasoning with them seemed pointless, as they were rude and obnoxious. Needless to say we won't be coming back here again. Worst experience ever! read more

I came in for a friends birthday a few weeks ago- everything was great. We're a group of "older" women (40's) and didn't know if we would be too old to dine at Scorpion Bar BUT we had a great time... We had a variety of tacos, fajitas and and appetizers (the nachos are delish!). The scorpion bowls are so cool.. a little pricey but worth it, especially in a larger group. We stayed to enjoy the nightlife and had so much fun. Special thank you to Melissa for serving us, I recommend you request her, and Emily for helping us the reservation from start to finish, she went above and beyond to help me surprise my friend and took multiple phone calls/requests leading up to our party. My girlfriend really enjoyed her birthday. Will be back!! read more

Never been treated with such disrespect. Horrendous management and staff. There is no need to be so rude and miserable. There are a million better places to go to in Boston that will actually treat you like human beings. read more

We stopped her for drinks while in Boston. The bar itself is really funky. Very clean. The drink list is great. I had the Hendricks Smash. It was delish and our bartender was wonderful. I mentioned loving the drink so she wrote the recipe down for me. Good service always wins me over! read more

This place has gone down hill horribly!!! They served the smallest nacho platter I've ever been served. We got pulled pork on the side and it was disgusting... all fat. In the past it was amazing pulled pork. We ordered street corn... again a joke! I got a margarita- had to return it... there was no alcohol in it. This place was good when it first opened. It is awful now!!! They were nice enough to remove the nachos from the bill. read more

I am 40 years old. A few of us were out in Boston and were turned away. The bouncer said we drank too much, and none of us had drank that night. I escalated to the manager who then said it was because we were male and they had too many guys in the bar. What a joke. Plenty of better bars in the area. read more

On the whole had a great experience, server was enthusiastic and ambiance was nice. The nacho appetizer dish with pulled bbq pork was amazing and HUGE! we got the scorpion chalupa tacos which were the main let- down of the night. Couldn't really taste the "scorpion ranch" and the chalupa shell didn't really add anything to it; not really any flavor evident in the tacos. We also got churros which were great. Drinks were fine, and expensive, as expected at a bar in Boston. Overall would recommend for drinks and nachos! read more

My boyfriend and I had one vacation to go to so we decided to come to Boston. We were looking for some good drinks and so many people recommended the Scorpion. We sat down and we given waters and waited patiently for our server to serve us. 30 minutes went by and no one served us. The staff kept looking at us and kept ignoring us so after 30 mins we decided to leave. The worst thing is that we didn't even get to try the drinks that people raved about. read more

Came here for Taco Tuesday. The taco's are $4 each so you can get them for cheaper than usual. We also got an order of the chips & guac which were very fresh and filling for 2 people. There were a bunch of different margaritas to choose from as well. We sat on the outside deck which overlooks the Seaport district. You can get a great view of the city and surrounding area from there. If you go to South Station it is about a 10-15 minute walk to get here or you can take the silver line 1 stop which drops you off almost right outside Scorpion Bar. read more

A long awaited opening for the Seaport area- I was excited to check this spot out. It almost lived up to the hype- and I will come back I am sure. Overall- the tacos were spicy and the drinks were delicious! We started with nachos- the serving was LARGE! They were covered with cheese and piled high but not evenly spread. It was still good. We didn't put a meat on ours. I would say- I felt the drinks go down quick but didn't taste much alcohol in it. I got a mint mojito margarita per our servers recommendation- could have chosen better probably, considering I like tequila. The steak tacos were spicy (our waitress told us they werent) but they were still good and plenty filling for the portion. They definitely need to get their feet on the ground but once they do- it will be as great as their other spots. read more

Overcharged my card, had to reach out to my bank which is super annoying to have to deal with when you're on vacation. So if you come here make sure you use cash or else they'll try to charge you more to get more tip money. Food is also not that good, I didn't have much of it though. It's expensive for no reason. Disappointed to say the least. read more

Came through the Scorpion about a month ago. Thought we would just be there for dinner but boy was I wrong! We ended staying much longer than we thought we would. Food was great and the service was even better! It didn't take much convincing for us to stay and we ended the night there. After about six hours of wining and dining, mingling and dancing we had to call it quits. We will definitely make it a regular spot both with clients and friends. They had everything covered and the managers were also extremely responsive to all of our requests! Already looking forward to our next visit! read more

If you want to get absolutely robbed with out consent, come to this establishment. Terrible service, terrible food and the price at the end of the meal will haunt you for weeks. Try McDonald's. read more

Nice clean place. Interior is warm, cozy and clean. We sat at the bar and had dinner and drinks. Have been to scorpion bar at Patriot Place and Foxwoods Casino, which have similar type interior decor. What's that cool dungeon type feel. The bartender was excellent! I had the quesadillas which were like two soft shell tacos. They were tasty and adequate portion, smaller portion than quesadillas at most other places. My girl had the fajitas which were tasty but the tortillas were way too small. The drinks were pricy but hey it's Boston. Overall a good experience and would go back. read more

Stopped in to the Scorpion Bar last week with some clients after a meeting in the Seaport. Turns out it was Taco and Tequila Tuesday - and what was supposed to be a quick beer turned into a full-blown tequila tasting. I am not a tequila expert by any means, but one of my clients knew a little bit - his nickname was 'Patrón Joe' back in the day according to him. They have an impressive selection there and the tasting flights were a good way to try out different tequilas - I came away with a liking for the Espolon Reposado. We ended up hanging out there most of the evening, watching the Sox on the huge tv. Besides the tasty tacos, we ordered the grande nachos and scorpion wings - the bbq and lemon wings in particular stood out. The Seaport is getting crowded with nightspots but the Scorpion Bar is a good addition, will definitely be back! read more

Hip cool environment. Good service. Good food but I think the quality could be better for the price. Put a LOT of ice in the margarita pitchers. If you're going here for a birthday, the dessert isn't free which surprised us all. You'll be paying for a $10 churro. read more

Update: I returned tonight and as if by curse I received rice in my dish where it wasn't listed on the menu as in the dish. Then they replaced it and it was still wrong and inedible due to dietary restrictions. The waiter didn't seem to care and did not remove it from the bill. So I starved while everyone ate. This really deserves a 1.5, but I will maintain my policy if voting up even though they really are testing me. read more

I have never given a 1 star but this place deserves it. We went for dinner and drinks for a friends birthday and our friend was kicked out for accidentally "stepping on a bouncers foot while dancing". Our friend apologized but was escorted out. The police outside understood the situation but refused to review tape on the situation. All 14 of our friend group left and will not spend one more dollar at this restaurant/bar. the food is mediocre at best and the margaritas taste like a mix you could buy at the supermarket read more

Expensive but phenomenal. Went here for a pre graduation celebration with 5 other people and we had an incredible time. Would recommend Scorpion Bar to everyone I know. read more

Went in last night with some friends and I was instantly amazed. The vibe and atmosphere are both incredible. We had a few apps and some drinks. This place it the mark on food and drinks, the Tequila selection is outstanding, bartenders are knowledgeable, and all the food looked and tasted amazing. We will be back and recommend this place to all of our friends... read more

Wow! This place was amazing!!! I had the Shrimp Fajita Rice Bowl and it was SO GOOD. The margaritas were a little watery (I had strawberry and my friend had the classic lime) and both get they were a little weak. The chips and salsa were great too! read more

I booked a table for a bachelorette the other night and the staff was amazing. They were all extremely professional and accommodated almost all of our needs. Security and our bottle girl Danielle went above and beyond to ensure that we had a stress free night when people were pushing into our table. Not only did they quickly eliminate the situation, but they continued to check in with us throughout the rest of the night. Thank you to CJ and everyone else who worked that night to make ours extra special! We will definitely be returning again! read more

Dont even come here! You cant even walk through before being told you have to go around when there is like 30 people here acting like this is Miami or NYC. Overpriced and the staff is rude as fuck read more

It was ok. Location is decent with plenty of outdoor seating. Music was interesting...it was pretty loud and someone kept changing the song repeatedly. Never experienced that at a restaurant. Nachos came complimentary with our large pitcher of mango margaritas. That was a nice touch but the nachos had cheese wiz and mozzarella cheese on it which I found to be a bit strange. Definitely room for improvement here with such a great location. read more

It does the trick. Good was fine, drinks were fine but this place has an identity crisis. Is it up scale? Is is causal? Country music playing the whole time mixed in with 80s. Just a random experience. Great empanadas though. Otherwise pretty average food. read more

great staff amazing ambiance and good vibes only!

Love this place. The food is great and the staff was helpful and polite. The bar tenders were helpful with explaining what was in the drinks. Every drink we ordered was awesome and tasted the same as the last. There was no inconsistency the drinks we ordered. Thank you for the good time. read more

If i could leave 0 stars i would. This is as quite possibly the worst service we ever received. We ordered a full meal and pitcher of drinks at the bar. We opened a tab and continued to order drinks throughout the night. As we were checking out we asked a bartender to cash us out who was at the end of the bar. We were extremely polite as me and my roommate both work in the service industry as bartenders and we know how challenging it can be. She immediately gave us attitude, ignoring us and saying that if we wanted to cash out we had to move down the bar, as she was apparently incapable of walking 4 feet to our card. After we gave her a look of confusion, she proceeded to call us bitches and give us the finger. I know if i did anything close to this behavior i would immediately be fired. This was by far the most despicable service i have ever received and I will not being going back again. read more

The food here is really good but sadly the margaritas taste like they use a cheap margarita mix... which is kind of unforgivable for a Mexican restaurant in 2019, especially considering that margaritas just aren't that complicated. Please consider switching to FRESH lime juice margs!! Bartaco down the street has the best margs around, I hope scorpion bar can learn from them and make some changes. read more

Worst food I've ever eaten is Boston watered down drink 30$ cover wack atmosphere zero starts wouldn't recommend to an enemy
