We were going with our 12 and 11 year-old children and Tim I believe is the manager went out of his way to make sure my kids had an absolute blast in the arcade. Cannot thank him enough. It was really an amazing evening. We spent so much time there. We didn't want to leave even though we had a concert to go to. Highly recommend, especially if you're a family looking for something to do or some great food before a game or event at the Garden

It can be pretty tough finding something so good luck. Seating: It's 3 floors of vibes (depending on the day) but this is no hidden gem, if you're looking for a local vibe, check this place out. Vibes: The nice touristy side of Boston, walking distance to a few scenic things. As for the spot, think Irish bar meets full-on nightlife energy. One floor might have karaoke, another has DJs, and another is just people vibing with drinks. It's lively, a little chaotic (in a fun way), and definitely a younger crowd energy. FOOD/DRINKS: Drinks are solid and pretty affordable for Boston, which is always a win. They've got everything from beers and seltzers to margaritas and cocktails. This isn't a craft cocktail lounge--it's more of a "grab a drink and keep the night going" type of place. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! I needed water and they provided it, no problem! TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. I didn't expect to have so much fun on a Monday night (the singing, the crowd participation, the dancing). What. A. Vibe. Maybe I got lucky but I hope you get this experience when you stop by.Fun, high-energy, and perfect for a night out with friends. Not the place for a quiet drink--but if you're trying to turn up a little and keep things moving, this is a solid stop in Boston. TIPS: *They seem to have something going on every night so check their website!

Once you get in, there's a small lounge area on the left and then a larger lounge area straight ahead where the bar is. They have small tables with couches and local artwork ond display. For their drinks, their mixed drinks are average, but they only had 3 beers on draft which was a disappointment. They do serve some bar food and snacks, but like the drinks they're overpriced. I've been here twice and there's usually a wait for the rooftop. Once on a Saturday I was quoted up to a 3 hour wait that was actually 45 minutes and on a Sunday it was a 15 minute wait. I put my name down and got a friendly text when my turn was up. The view is pretty good, but not the best since it's not by the water so it's mostly looking at the city and large apartment complexes. The rooftop is small with 4-5 tables, a TV, and some seats. It seems like they allow around 40 people in at a time. Overall, this a cool place to hang out with friends this summer!

Who doesn't love a Penthouse bar?…read more After you enter Yotel, make a left to the elevators. Once inside, hit that shiny PF button and enjoy the ride. I like how it is set up like a lounge, where they have couches available for big and small groups. You can also just sit at the bar to grab a drink. There are also tables on the terrace, but it is not always open during the winter months. When the door is unlocked, it is worth checking out the view for a couple of minutes. The bartenders can be a bit hit-and-miss, depending on the night. I wouldn't take that personally. Just order your drink and focus on your company. They will come around like 15 minutes before closing and asking you to close your tabs. Supposedly their lobby bar stays open later than 11 PM, but my friends and I tried going then got turned away by the lobby bar as well. I have always had GIN CRAZE $14 (Beefeater gin, lemon, simple, raspberry puree). It is pretty solid.

I ended up leaving, but I don't think this place is good for concerts or shows. That's just my opinion.But the seating is, like, think about cafeteria tables, it's kind of like that.And you're sitting across from the person you're with, and then there's other random people sitting with you. And you have to sit sideways to see the stage, but they serve food and drinks.So if you're eating, you will not be able to see the stage. The place itself is gorgeous, i can definitely rent in that out for like a wedding.Or something, you know of that nature.But not shows. If you're going there for a concert and everybody stands up, it's a wrap. I talked to text so if you see grammatical errors fix them in your mind. Thank you in advance.

We wanted to start with the frozen espresso martinis but they were out so we ended up trying different drinks- I had a spritz that was refreshing and my friends had the coco Rita & the lemon blueberry Tini- we had two rounds of drinks before the frozen drinks were ready again. They tasted like a mudslide/milkshake so was a nice finisher to our night here. We had snack throughout our time here. The mezze platter was OK, the cauliflower was gross and flavorless, the cheese was iffy. Really we just munched on the hummus and the pita bread. The oysters were decent! And the spinach artichoke dip was also fine- not the best but not the worst. I did really enjoy the pita bread. Really people come here for the view and a drink- I would skip the food and eat elsewhere. Sidenote- the bathroom lighting was immaculate lol

Highly recommend for a scenic view and pictures. It was very cold the day we went. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were kept warm. They adjusted heating lamps and brought us very warm blankets. They even were able to move us indoor when it got very chilly. The margarita pizza and truffle fries were great to snack on while we gabbed. We got white wine for the table. I highly recommend getting the chocolate fondue. It came with apples, strawberry, marshmallows, and churros. These dipped in the decadent chocolate tasted amazing and was so fun. Sebastian was a great waiter who kept checking in on us. He even offered to take picture of us outside. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

First, hotel guests receive priority access, which is important because during peak hours it can be extremely difficult to get in. Second, there's something luxurious about enjoying a great night out and then simply taking the elevator back to your room. We arrived at 10:30 PM on an incredibly busy Saturday night, and despite the crowds, the staff handled our reservation, made well in advance, with professionalism and care. The DJ was fantastic and set the tone for a fun evening from the moment we arrived. This is definitely a place built for cocktails and late-night energy. The drinks were well crafted, the atmosphere was electric, and our server did a great job taking care of our table throughout the evening. If you're looking for a sophisticated speakeasy experience, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a lively, high-energy night with great cocktails and a fun crowd... Blind Duck delivers.

We just wanted a quick drink and somewhere with a good vibe before calling it a night and this place delivered. They've got a jukebox, so the music was all over the place in the best way. A little dancing, a little singing out loud. It wasn't packed, but there were just enough people there to keep the energy fun and easy. The bartender was kind and super efficient, she was holding it down solo and doing it well. Drinks were solid, no complaints. The best part? At the end of the night we found out someone had taken care of our tab. Such a simple, unexpected gesture and it honestly put the biggest smile on our faces. We paid it forward and covered the next open tab. So thank you to the kind stranger who started that little chain reaction. Would definitely come back. Thanks Dani's for a really good time.

I felt it led to a more relaxed vibe and felt very welcome despite the obvious gender-leanings of the clientele. Every staff person here was kind and gracious, even the bouncers. I went up to the bar to order my food, and I got the veggie burger and a long distance to drink. The veggie burger was well cooked and seasoned, and the yucca fries I got with it were fantastic. The sauce that came alongside them was far superior to ketchup, and I would definitely order it again. The burger fell apart for me pretty quickly, but with silverware available it was no big deal. The drink was perfect - well balanced between sweet and bitter - a great complement to my meal. My only critique was the music. This bar, at least at 7:30, is not an incredibly dancy atmosphere, but the music was so loud I could barely hear the person across the table from me. A slight decrease in volume, for me, would have improved the ambiance and made it a bit easier to socialize. But I'll definitely be coming back!
