I understand this is the first week this restaurant has reopened but I feel like there was no excuse for the service we experienced last night. We waited over two and a half hours for entrees that never came. It took over twenty minutes to pay the bill because we were never handled directly with our waitress. She kept walking by our table and ignoring us so we had to reach out to other waitresses and the two different hostesses to get the bill and get our forgotten entrees removed. By the time we asked for the check, it took 50 minutes to get the check back and sign so we could finally leave. None of the staff we spoke to about our forgotten food or our waitress were at all sorry for the service we experienced, no one apologized, or gave us any explanation for what had happened. read more

Went for an outdoor dining to try out. We sat around for 20 mins, and no one even came to table to say hi or even gave the menu. Went to make a complaint and was told they'll send someone right away. Waited for another 10 mins and still no one. We left. On the way out, I said no one came to our table yet after 30 mins. Hostess just said "Oh okay have a good night." Never seen such a service before. It wasn't even crowded. Doesn't seem like they even care about costumers. Never again! read more

Oh my god. The food is subpar, the staff is horribly trained, apathetic, and rude . Stay away unless you're just going for drinks after work! read more

We were looking for an extremely cool bar to have some drinks and catch up with old friends. It was the perfect spot. First, the drink selection was excellent. You are able to order a variety of drinks to share with friends. Second, we ended up ordering food and it was super duper tasty. I recommend the loaded fries! read more

Reserved a table for a $900 minimum. Which was no problem. But they charged us up front which I thought was weird. In addition - when I purchased another bottle above and beyond the minimum - I tipped the servers 15% because there was already a 5% surcharge on the bill (so 20% in total). The waitress asked me if there was something wrong. Seriously!?!?! So I need to tip 20% on top of a 5% surcharge?!?! You're pissed about a 15% tip when you literally did nothing. So 25% in total is the norm?!?!?! Not to mention - it took you 20 minutes to bring the bottle out!!! Spend your money elsewhere. read more

I had the worst experience here and will definitely NOT come back again! Heads up: if you are looking for a place with good food and attentive service, this is not it! If you want to be charged for something that you didn't agree to, this is the right place to go! This was the second time I visited here and will be the last. Our server was not attentive at all given the fact that it was a relatively empty weekday. Food was OK but definitely overpriced. We ordered some drinks as well. There was something in my drink so I had to ask the bartender to remake it and my friends didn't enjoy their drinks, too. Can you believe that the drink tasted exactly the same with or without alcohol? And we actually went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. We ordered a dessert for her and asked for the candles. You would think that even though they didn't send the dessert complimentary, at least they would say something for the special occasion. Instead, there was no gesture at all. And finally, we got our bill and obviously I didn't feel comfortable leaving a generous tip based on the "service" I got that night. And once the charge has been finalized, I got charged more than I agreed to. I called several times trying to get an answer. First time the reception took down my information and said they would get back to me after they investigated into it. Second time I asked for the manager directly and the reception told me that they were too busy to answer. This girl took down my information again and promised she would ask the manager (his name is Gram or something like that) to get back to me and guess what, no answer. I tried to call after that but no one picked up. I'm just losing my patience here and if that's the way you treat your customers, especially with complaints as important as credit card issue, you guys don't deserve a business. read more

I ate there on Friday and the food lived up to the Scorpion Bar reputation! The pork fajitas are my favorite and some chips with guacamole are always a good start. They had a great atmosphere with a live dj playing lightly during dinner. I would come back again and again! read more

I always have a great time here. The atmosphere, music, service and drinks are AWSOME!! Highly recommend.

I went to scorpion bar for happy hour with some coworkers and ordered the braised beef quesadilla. It didn't come with any sauce (guac, salsa, or sour cream) and was pretty dry. I had to order the sauces as extras on the side, whereas most Mexican restaurants would provide at least one of the above. On top of that, the quesadilla was pretty bland. I would go back, but I would order something different next time. read more

Scorpion Bar - Braised Pork Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

3rd time here - service is just meh every time I come here. Menu is so overpriced for what it is it's pretty comical. $14 for a salad with SHREDDED lettuce, asked for no beans (I have an intolerance) at least 25 beans in the thing (makes me think...pre made salad? Nice) $4 extra for 4 shrimp small in the salad. I didn't even send it back because the waiter wasn't around half the time, so didn't want to wait another 30 min for my food. He was nice but I mean - filled two glasses w water and left mine empty so I had to ask 15 min later when he came back if I could have some water too. Drinks are mediocre and cheapest drink $12. SO overpriced it's pretty crazy to me. Won't ever come here unless it's the only place my friends go. Would never choose this place to eat or drink. Not worth it. read more

Service is dead slow took an hour in a half to get food and the table next to us who came after got thwre food before ours literaly almost fell asleeo waiting for service .. hooe thwy hire new staff read more

I came here Saturday with my parent's after months of telling them how much they would love this place. Whether it's for drinks or some food, i thought they would enjoy it for sure. Finally got them in to try and had the worst experience ever. We ordered drinks and everything was fine until we ordered our food. We waited an hour to finally find someone and ask if we were ever going to get our food? After seeing multiple tables get seated and receive their food before us it seemed like we were ignored. Our waiter never came to check up on us or even tell us there was going to be a wait. We talked to the manager and apparently they never put the order in. There was no apology and they all just seemed clueless. All they did was hand us the bill for our drinks and seemed to not care. I feel like a fool after hyping up this place to my parents and friends. Honestly I won't be coming back at all and would not bring any of my friends here just to be embarrassed again. read more

This place has got one thing going for it--the decor. Large, open space with leather seating and televisions aplenty, however, the food and the service were super lackluster. With so many other tasty mexican options close by it's no surprise that the restaurant was practically deserted at 7:30 on a Wednesday. Given the price of rent in the Seaport I'd give this one a year, year and a half tops before they hang up their sombreros. read more

Terrible service. Rude managers. At 11pm they didn't let us sit down because they "don't want to clean the tables" and told us it is "standing room only". Despicable. Avoid at all costs. read more

So disappointed. Quality was so poor. Fajitas were burnt to the pan. Margaritas were so weak and served in a plastic water glass. Surprising that a Mexican restaurant wouldn't have nice margarita glasses. read more

Just the Worst Experience Ever! My friends and I were looking forward to a great night celebrating the holidays and our December birthdays at this new hot spot. A reservation for 12 people at 8pm made about a month in advance. We arrived on time and the hostess told us it would just be a few minutes as they were resetting the table, no problem. +20 min later, I inquire again and with a little annoyance she told me that they were just switching out some chairs and should only be a few more min, hmmm OK. + 20 min later, still nothing (time check - it's about 8:40). I go to ask the hostess and a manager comes up to me with nothing but big attitude. Almost yelling at me that the party prior to us left late and they were resetting the table and that if it was my group they wouldn't have asked us to leave either and goes on in the same vein. I take a breath and a step back and explain to him this is the first I'm hearing of this and not sure why the hostess has been lying to me. Again more attitude and annoyance from him. If it hadn't been a Saturday in December with 12 people, we would have walked out ASAP. Reeling a bit from this exchange, a different manager comes up and is more apologetic. I said to him I just wish someone had just explained the situation when we first game in almost 45 min ago...hey I get it, sometimes large parties are slow to move out. All they had to do is let us know and maybe say hey we're sorry and why don't you grab a drink at the bar on us. He agreed they handled it badly and invited us to grab a drink at the bar while they actually reset the table this time. In the middle of getting drinks the 1st manager with the bad attitude, comes back and tells us the table is ready and that we should come NOW! It was almost laughable, we told him we would be there once we were done getting our drinks. So we finally settled into our table which I must say was tight for a party of 12, and they did send over two apps on the house. Our waiter Jason was a breath of fresh air. He knew the situation, offered his apologies and took good care of us and facilitating our orders as expediently as possible,even though he also had another party of 12 and some other tables. So Kudos to him! Needless to say I will probably never go back - there are way too many good places in Boston that value their patrons, provide good customer service, and are respectful. read more

Came here last Friday for drinks and chips and guac and everything with the exception of my margarita was underwhelming. The chips used were cold, had zero salt, and tasted borderline stale. The guacamole was just smashed avocado served with two cherry tomatoes sliced in half on top; literally that is it. No seasoning, no onion, no discernible flavor just smashed avocado...why??? My husband ordered a margarita, no salted rim, it came with salt on the rim and appeared to actually be the wrong drink (that erroneous salt should have been saved and used on the chips!). The one positive thing about the experience was the Cadillac margarita I ordered which was solid so two stars for that. With all the Mexican options in the Seaport this place just really needs to do better. read more

I've been to a few other Big Night establishments, and had a decent experience. But their new Scorpion Bar in Seaport is definitely on another level. The atmosphere was great. Bartender Dominique noticed me waiting after less than a minute, and slung a delicious cocktail to me 30 seconds later. Found a bar stool eventually and ordered food. Wings were great. But I'll be back for the staff. Fun spot, and Dominique made me feel included, even though I was riding solo on a Friday night. I'll be back real soon read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE (at least from our waiter)! We waited for 20 minutes and he never came to serve us. We had asked another waitress to inform the guy that we have been waiting for him. We saw the lady talked to him but he just kept doing his paperwork and never came. So we ended up leaving. What an upsetting experience! read more

I have never been to this place for food, but I have for nightlife. It's definitely a great spot that is a healthy mix of a bar and a club. Quiet enough to have a conversation but loud enough to have a fun time on the dance floor. The drinks are tasty as they should be for $12-14! read more

when i reached out to this manager, i was informed he was no longer the manager. so i was just left hanging, furthering my frustration for this location. read more

I went to dinner at this bar after following on Instagram and being amazed at the food and atmosphere it offered. However, it took over 40 minutes for my tables meals to arrive. Very slow service with no water refills. Meals don't look anything like their Instagram. read more

First of all, the taquitos has barbecue sauce on them???? Makes no sense and the dip that it came with tastes like warm milk. Also it took an hour to get our food and one VERY SMALL taco is $7. And it's really cold in there so bring a winter jacket. read more

Came in at 3:45pm. Bar was pretty full, but rest of the restaurant was fairly empty. Because we just wanted drinks, and a little snack they told us we had to sit at the bar. They wouldn't allow us to sit at a table (only 3 of us). The manager or host was pretty rude. read more

Nice place, very promising. Comfortable and the offer (drinks & food) seemed generous and top notch. Great location also, nevertheless service was far from expected; long waiting times and dismissing bar personnel. Customer experience far from marketing expectation. read more

I was looking to checking this bar out because of good reviews I've heard but unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. The place is pretty nice but service wasn't the best at the bar. We waited around for a bit before being acknowledged. Once we did get our drinks I order the classic margarita and did not like it at all. I was so discouraged to order another cocktail so I just stuck to beer. The prices didn't match the quality of what you're given. read more

I haven't written a bad review in years but the service was terrible! The hosts up front (all three of them) had terrible attitudes, never smiled and looked miserable. They said there were no seats outside so sat us inside. I looked out and more than half the tables were open. So I went back and asked again and they said yes, there were actually tables available but they were "busy" and would move us in five minutes. We were never moved, never acknowledged, nothing. I was able to get one drink order in for a very weak and sugary margarita and then a half hour went by and my waiter was no where to be found. He simply disappeared. Finally, our appetizers were done and he came back asking if we wanted anything else. Well, I guess not dinner...... or another drink.... here's the check.... the restaurant wasn't even full. Maybe half full? read more

Went there for a friends birthday. For a "high end tequila bar" they had the worst margaritas I had ever tasted. It was undrinkable. Half of the food orders came out wrong and the other half came out 15 minutes later. The food was decent but nothing to rave about. $13 for 2 tacos and no sides. Overall horrible service and very over priced read more

Very disappointed! They boast hundreds of different tequilas but couldn't make a proper margarita with lime juice and grand mariner. They only use the sweet ready-made mixes! The shrimp tacos were liberally seasoned with old bay seasoning and topped with barbecue sauce. Disgusting! The waiter was very surly, not helpful and his English was not good enough to be front line staff. Save your $$ read more

Great food. Pathetic service. Were not checked on for 15 mins after we sat. We were given the wrong entrees after we already ate - they clearly were disorganized and the place was not busy while they claimed the waitresses were too busy. Hire a competent manager read more

If I could give a negative star I would. Beyond the worst service and experience I have ever had at any restaurant in my entire life. Me and my two girlfriends show up at 7:45 on a Saturday night. We ask for a table of three. The snotty hostess says, "Sorry we have no tables available." I asked if we could be put on the wait list and the response after a long pause was, "Sorry we are double booked all night." The best part of this is if you looked around the restaurant about 10 tables were open. We walk to the bar and decide to look on Open Table for open reservations. Shockingly an 8 pm reservation was open! We book it, walk over to the snotty hostess a few minutes after walking in and tell her we are checking in "even though you are double booked." She tells us our table isn't ready so she can seat us at a high top. Ok that's fine. We are taken over to a side bar at the window that's not even a real table. It's literally the place where people just throw their coats. We ask to be seated at a real table and the girl "has to check." We finally get to a real table. Wow thank you! It then takes about 30 minutes to be acknowledged and the rest is history. The food and drink take forever. We ask for the check and the waitress drops the bill with our credit cards and no pen. I ask a girl who is walking by who looks like a hostess for a pen. She gives me one and literally stands over my shoulder waiting for me to finish so she can get her precious pen back. Sorry, just trying to write in a tip for this nightmare, awful experience. She then, while waiting for her pen, tries to take my glass of wine away which is still half full. Wtf?! "Oh, you're not done with this yet?" No lady, sorry, I do want to finish my $14 glass of Cabernet. Clearly she couldn't clear the table soon enough. I actually said, "If you need your pen back this quickly please take it and tell our waitress we need a pen." Truly awful in every way. Snottiest, worst, rudest service ever. I will never go back. You suck. read more

You know how sometimes you just want a really good margarita? Well the Scoprion delivers with a big selection of margaritas. I started with the coconut and then drifted to mango. Service was great! bartender was quick but courteous. Ordered some jalapeno raviolis and could have eaten more cause they were delicious. Even though I was there by myself this time, everyone was really cool and there was a great vibe to the place. I will be going back with friends soon to watch the Sox on one of their huge TVs and sip on some more margarita magic! read more

We were forced to wait in line in the cold because it was supposedly full. 10-15 people left and we still weren't allowed in until the line was longer. We finally made it in and paid the 10$ cover per person. It was probably half full. They remove the dinner tables and turn that area into a dance floor but only a handful of people dancing. It has a very clubby feel with lots of bouncers but is a restaurant so it has a really weird vibe. Dj was very average. We were there for a half an hour until the bouncers started giving our group a hard time and wouldn't explain why. We honestly didn't do anything. Wouldn't go back. read more

Came here with three friends for dinner on Saturday night. The place tries to be pretentious but doesn't attract a classy enough crowd to set such high standards. After expressing I was there for a dinner reservation and being met with a little bit of hesitation I was let inside and then moved past another (pointless) podium to head upstairs. We were sitting for a very long time before we were finally approached by our waitress for our drink order. At that point, we were starving and ready to order our food, when we said that she walked away. Our order was not complicated: Three mixed drinks, an order of guacamole and three orders of tacos (two shrimp, one steak). After waiting a long time, our drinks arrived. Two of them were wrong (we think) either that or they were just bland because we couldn't distinguish between the mango margarita (sweet) and the Paloma (sour). Maybe we they were just regular margaritas? Our guac never came, and our meals were wrong. The manager came over and fixed the wrong one. We finally got our guac half way through the meal and our drinks got fixed, they still didn't taste like what we had ordered. I think the drinks are just not that good. Our waitress was a little more attentive from that point but I had asked for water refills and never once was water refilled. (Rule 101 of working in a restaurant is that the water glasses on your table are always full). The frosting on the cake was when we asked for our bill and it was placed on the table and was just all wrong. It take someone who is not clued in to distinguish tables. ON top of that the table next to us was having a similar experience. The girl had some extreme allergies and had emailed management before asking if food could be prepared a certain way, they said yes and when she got there was told they couldn't. Unfortunately this place has so many problems with the kitchen the bar and the waitstaff. They all need to be trained on customer service and attitude. The only good service at the end was who I think was the GM who was apologetic and hospitable and took care of our bill but never in my life had service been so terrible and apathetic that the restaurant had to comp the whole thing. I hope that the staff can follow his example. I'll be taking myself to Lolita's instead. read more

LOVED the atmosphere here! Just happened to wander in. It's really a cute space. Me and some friends shared the pupu platter which had a mix of things-wings, taquitos, nachos-everything was good. We loved the honey siracha wings. Couldn't stop eating them. We shared a huge "scorpion" bowl to share among 4 people. It was cutesy, not super strong to get you drunk, but a little buzz was fine. Would def come back read more

Poor management. Our wait time for our table last night was 2 and a half hours . We were a party of 10. They kept telling us there were no tables when half the tables were empty . When we asked why we couldn't sit at one of the empty tables they said they were " reserved". We ended up staying the whole night ... no one showed up for the " reserved tables". Once everyone experiences the poor service for themselves they will not be coming back. read more

Trash for hillbillies - seriously. They would let you wait for hours in the cold - pay, and wait for more.

This place is cool! Went for the first time tonight and appreciated everything from the drinks, to the decor and the food (cheeseburger burrito?? Get it immediately). Our waitress Melissa (with long red hair) was SO nice and helpful- five stars for her alone and the place! read more

I can't believe this place has a low rating on yelp - my friends and I loved it! I've been a couple of times since the opening and have enjoyed my food and drinks each time. I also like the vibe of the place and how it switches over from dinner to more of a dance-y lounge vibe later in the evening, making it perfect for nights where you want to get dinner and then stay out for drinks and a little dancing! They have SO many tequila options (I feel like there are hundreds) and some interesting speciality margs on the menu. I personally like both the spicy marg and the French marg. As far as the menu goes, I have tried the Philly Rolls, Quesadillas, Chips with both Guac and Salsa, Buffalo Chicken Flautas, Chicken Fajitas and the NACHOS - really enjoyed everything I have had!! My friends' food looked good too. As some other reviewers mentioned, the nachos kill it because they actually layer the toppings instead of just dumping them only on the top layer. Also, when it's nice out they open up the windows so it has an open air feel. I don't typically leave yelp reviews but felt the need to write one for Scorpion Bar because I really don't get why the rating is so low. Go check it out!! read more

Great music and environment ! Love this place ! Drinks are awesome! My go to place on the weekend
