My friends and I stopped in here on a our first night in Boston. It was Friday night and a random find. We just happened to park across the street and noticed the bar but it was closed until later in the evening. We did did our thing and explored the area and decided to check out this spot before leaving. It's a little unassuming from the outside with the words Local Bar painted on the wall, but the little neon flamingo sign lets your know you're at the Flamingo. Walking in, the vibes were cool. They have this retro 80's Miami thing going on. It was cool. That's about all that was cool though. Customer service wasn't all that. The staff seemed more interested in their regulars. Since we walked in and used their facilities we decided just to have a shot and keep it moving. The shot wasn't even all that good. If it weren't for the cold customer service, we would have potentially spent alot more money here. It's a one and done for me! read more

It's cold outside, so came here. I got 3 drinks, they were all good, and reasonably (?) priced. The bartender was super sweet, and there was an engagement party going on so vibes were super nice. Don't know if i'd come here often but good way to spend my time. read more

Adorable spot for a quick drink! Came here with some girlfriends on a Thursday night and it wasn't super packed but still lively. The drink menu had lots of cute and yummy options (decently priced for Boston cocktails in my opinion) and the bartenders were so attentive and fun! I also got the keep my flamingo drink holder and little rubber duckies that came in the drink as souvenirs which I loved :) read more

This is one of those places that you'd probably visit more for the atmosphere than anything else. I came to The Flamingo with a few friends on a Saturday night before heading out to dinner. It was already pretty busy, even around 7pm. There weren't a ton of tables available, but you could certainly order at the bar. I'm not sure what the vibes are like later in the evening, but I did notice they had security, so I'm guessing it gets rowdier later in the night. I didn't get to try any of the food here, but it seemed like a solid spot for drinks. They serve some of their drinks in an inflated flamingo, which seems to be their signature. More than anything else, this seemed like one of those places that people come to take pictures, since there was an interesting ambiance. Having been there once, I don't feel the need to go back. read more

Came here for drinks after dinner and decided to try their guacamole and chips. Drinks were very sweet and guacamole was mediocre. The vibe of this place was consistent with many of the new youthful spots opening up recently. Lots of pink and foliage (real or fake) sporadically displayed. Music was a remix of a lot of pop music, throw backs, and what you would expect as House music. Staff were decently friendly. Overall, I had a moderate experience but I'm not sure if I have to urge to come again. It did get surprisingly busy by the time we left around 8 pm on a Sunday night. read more

I'm really upset about the way the bartender handle my boyfriend and I sitting at the bar. He was roughly 50 years old and he told my boyfriend and I to remove our seats from "his" bar. I'm sorry but u are old and this is a public bar. If u don't want seats just say that politely. So disappointing and get a life. read more

A wicked campy spot in the North End. The decor sets you back to the times of chandeliers with a flare for punk rock. Bartenders were hip and service was great. Beer a selection was decent. Two really good local IPA's on draft. Didn't eat here so can't comment on that but went here twice in one week because it was a cool joint to hang out in. Definitely be back. read more

The Flamingo - The Bar!!! - Lounges Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The inside is cute. The rest of our Saturday night here was so lame. We got charged a large party tip for 4 seltzers because 8 people were standing around the table... 20%... to pop open some cans... and it came to $70. Wtf? When we came in we were told the upstairs area was closed for a private party until 10. At 10, we were told 10:30. At 10:30, half our group got upstairs and the other half had to wait downstairs for 40 minutes. The upstairs area wasn't crowded. There's plenty of other places to spend a Saturday night. Also no live music so that's also lame. Idk why you have a bar and don't want people to have fun. read more

Love this place!! My friends and I got here early-ish on a Saturday night (around 6:30pm) and were able to grab a table next to the bar. It only got more crowded from there and by the time we left at around 9pm, it was PACKED. So definitely expect a wait if you're coming here for drinks on a weekend. I ordered the Pink Flamingo drink - initially because I wanted the flamingo floaty - but the drink was actually quite tasty so I kept ordering more! It's on the sweeter end, which I prefer, and was very light and easy to drink. Our waitress was super nice and helpful with recommendations! I asked her for a rubber ducky too (which usually comes with another cocktail) and she immediately brought one over. Before we left, we ended up doing a shotski after we saw the table behind us do one, and it was great! I think we chose the green tea shot (?) - this was actually DELICIOUS. We also ordered some churros, which were hot, sweet, crunchy, and exactly what we needed. Overall, this was such a fun place to have some drinks! Highly recommend. read more

We came here for drinks prior to going out to dinner and really enjoyed it. There's nothing else like it in the area. Drinks: We got a mojito, a mai tai and a pink flamingo drink (the one that comes with the floatie). They were all great and well made. I also love the detail and aesthetic they bring to each drink. Vibe: South beach Miami vibes. It was a seat yourself situation when we went there so we had seats at the bar. The bartender said they were expanding to an upstairs bar in the coming weeks for more space which will be nice. Food: Didn't try any but definitely will next time. As a Cuban, I had to evaluate their menu, looks good from the menu. Will update when I try. The bartender said the empanadas are homemade in house so that's where I would start. If you are looking for a late night spot in the North End this is one of two that are open late. Although, get there early if you want to get in because I am sure they get packed. read more

Cute little bar, didn't expect to have so much fun. My bartender, Janelle was amazing. Even while busy she provided me and my date with the best service, friendly, and made the experience 10x better. Drinks were strong, and fairly priced. Def recommend bringing your mates, your dates, or whoever and having a fun intimate night. read more

I loved this place !!!! First time there , with my daughter ( mid 20's & mid 50's)... the music was excellent.... people were definitely enjoying themselves with LOTS of libations.... the bartender was super nice + friendly ( MYER !!!!!) Will def go back .... but not soon enough !!!!! read more

Great energy here! The place filled up very quickly and stayed full the whole night. It's pretty small so go early if you want to get a table or order food. It's all seat yourself. The staff seems a little mixed up probably because it's the beginning. We had like every server in the restaurant coming up to us to check on our drinks a little too often. The staff was super friendly and the food was pretty good too! read more

Cool new bar in the North End with a 60's Miami feel to it. Fun vibe and experience. The spicy margaritas were great and the tacos were good. Saw a Cubano sandwich that looked tasty I'll try that next time. Nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

I wouldn't recommend going there for food. The food was awful. The burger was extremely salty, and the mozzarella tasted old. The only decent thing was the fries. The drinks were good though. read more

Don't waste your time. Bouncers are literally the biggest assholes and the food sucks. You'll wait in line forever while they let other people in who just walked up. Way over hyped. read more

We had a couple of drinks mid-day on a Sunday; this place is great. Miami-themed vibe, and local patrons versus tourist vibe. Our bartender was very nice, and when I asked if the blowup pink flamingos were for sale he gave one to me. As I hugged it and asked, "What's cuter than this?" he then brought me a tiny pink rubber duck meant for floating in a drink. I laughed and said, "What's cuter than *this*?" and then he brought me a small gummy shark in a shot glass. I was cracking up laughing. We will definitely come back; very friendly and nice atmosphere. read more

Not sure what this place wants to be. I live local. Went in for a drink and maybe a snack with a couple friends. I think they're trying a Miami/Cuban type theme. Drinks weren't great. Food didn't look especially pleasing so we didn't order anything. It was kind of disorganized. Not really my scene. But maybe for someone else. read more

This. place. is. awesome! My boyfriend and I were visiting from Florida (so obviously the flamingo bar drew us in immediately) and stopped in for happy hour before dinner. We actually missed our dinner reservation and had to make a later one because we were having so much fun here. lol Amanda is an awesome bartender and just overall made our experience here really fun. They have board games and plenty of space. Its all the feel of a dive bar with a modern twist that makes the bar the prettiest dive bar I've ever been to. We will absolutely be back to Boston and of course we'll be back for the Flamingo, and we really hope we get lucky enough to have Amanda serve us again. read more

I've tried this bar a few times. Don't go there for the ford. Drinks are mediocre at best. This bar is nothing more than a TikTok trend. Drinks are pretty but premixed and overly sweet. Instead of focusing on quality they focus on nicknacks in drinks (flamingo float or rubber ducky). Neighbors hate it, not going to last. read more

Worst bar ever the bouncers are extremely rude and disrespectful. My friends and I waited in line for 45 minutes for us to get to the head Of the line and the bouncer said one of my friends couldn't get in then physically pushed us out. The bouncer put his hands on a female multiple times. They yelled rude comments and let other people who didn't wait in line in. This establishment is truly disgusting And I hope it gets shut down. read more

This place is gave me the worst food poisoning I've ever had. I was sick for two weeks and had to go to the hospital. The scariest part is I only ordered egg rolls. I think they had bad meat. When I contacted the restaurant about the issue they claimed that it was not their fault and they owner appeared to be intoxicated when we were on the phone. They should be ashamed. read more

Got charged a "large party fee" for four people, when we got two drinks appetizer and an appetizer? If you're going to up charge you should say that. read more

Live in the area, decided to stop by to see if it was worth bringing my family and friends here. Guy seemed pleasant and asked for my ID. Tries to scan my ID twice and immediately starts turning me away in an extremely rude manner. I ask him to call the police or a manager as I am 27 years old w/ a non expired valid ID. Him and another employee start to be aggressive so I just leave all together. The worst part is that they said they were doing me a "favor" for giving MY LICENSE back. How embarrassing that they don't have machines that work properly but also have staff that are extremely rude/lack training and don't know how to properly handle the situation. Will never be back or recommend anyone to go there. read more

THIEVES. They wouldn't let us go upstairs or get a shot-ski at 12:48 because they stopped it all at 12:45?? I thought this was dramatic, but I was not rude about it or anything. However the next day I was really pissed I noticed they added an extra $2 to the tips to every transaction. Thanks so much for stealing guys!! read more

This place is just awful. I have been to several bars throughout my life and these have been the worst bouncers I have ever experienced. Power-hungry jerks. They keep a line outside to make it look fun and when you get in it is so boring. If you like waiting in line for 30 minutes for no reason go to this place read more

This restaurant is the single worse establishment on the face of the planet. Vibes are so far from immaculate. The staff is incompetent. I was honestly annoyed to find that my drink was "okay." While I did not eat any food, the menu's use of the terms "adult bevys" and "sanguich" was offensive to say the least! TLDR: shocking, disappointing, will not return. read more

Tried to get a few drinks here and ended up waiting in line for 45 mins. The bouncer continuously took bribes from people that would just walk up and hand him cash. About half of the people in line decided to just go elsewhere because of how unprofessional it was. Will not be going back read more

Great and fun cocktails. Perfect for a night out with your friends but it seems to get busy all at once on the weekends so I'll be sure to get here a little earlier next time. read more

LOVE what they did here! Such a perfect spot on the midst of the north end. Drinks are great. They have a really cool Miami theme and feel going on. It's small, so get there early! Everyone who works there seems so happy and excited to be there (even on a Friday night!) great vibes all around and a perfect new spot in Boston. read more

Hosts/security was beyond fantastic! Will come back asap!!! Best spot. It is the best.
