This bar happened to be convenient so we decided to keep going here. First of all, though, that name: They do qualify it with an "in Boston", but there are still a lot of effing bars in Boston. You can say you're great, whatever, but the greatEST? They're already operating from a deficit, imo. But whatevs, we just wanted more drinks. Things were certainly already lively when we joined the mostly business convention-y crowd (judging from all the business casual attire and the lanyards). The place felt kind of cavernous, with two stories. Lots of sports-oriented swag on the walls, and a country-heavy song list, which wasn't really our vibe, but we didn't hate it. The bartenders were cool and the drinks were fine, but couldn't say there was anything extraordinary about the place. We did have a great time, but not because this was the greatEST bar.

The coleslaw was bland. And then the ugly: the clam chowder had some kind of spice added that completely threw it off. My immediate reaction after the first bite was, "Nope."The lobster roll, which should have been the star of the menu, was the biggest disappointment. The lobster did not taste fresh, which is inexcusable for a restaurant advertising itself as having the best lobster roll around.As for the service, our waitress was pleasant and clearly trying her best, but she was so busy that things were frequently forgotten throughout the meal.Overall, I cannot in good conscience recommend this place, and I would not return.

I don't see the point in coming to The Point. This review is regarding the after midnight atmosphere, I don't know what it's like during the day. For a $10 cover charge, all you get is a super crowded bar and a mediocre band playing cover tunes. I felt too old and sober to enjoy this place. The vast majority of the crowd looked like college students who don't mind going to a crappy bar to hang out. A couple of guys in my crew headed upstairs where they have a dance club. They came back down minutes later to report that everyone upstairs were just wasted throwing drinks on each other; they were also playing the same bad music upstairs as they were downstairs. Bathrooms in bars are notoriously bad and the one unisex bathroom they have downstairs is no exception. The toilet handle was broken so there was no flushing possible, pee pee all over the floor, the soap dispenser was broken so you couldn't wash your hands properly (thank God for the antibacterial gel I carry in my purse). Hot mess all around. read more

As soon as our party of 4 arrived after dinner we found an empty bar-height table. It was Friday night around 9:30. There was only one chair at the table, but that didn't bother us because we were just there for a quick beer. The general manager noticed that we were chairless and within two minutes he rounded up 3 chairs from all corners of the bar. We thanked him profusely and tried to tip him for his troubles but he refused and told us to tip his bartenders instead. He walked away and we talked amongst ourselves about how friendly and generous he was for bringing us chairs without us having to ask. He recirculated a couple of times and then suddenly appeared with a round of free shots for us. He knew we appreciated him and wanted to return the favor. We are from Dallas and expect good service, but this GM and his staff went above and beyond! Highly recommended. read more

Big shout out from the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation located in PENSACOLA, Florida. On November 30th, our group was among 75 plus patrons attending a special event at The Point. The owners, Larry and Valerie Post were spectacular hosts. Chris, their manager did an outstanding job of taking care of the guests. The servers and bartenders obviously love working there! Great food, great service and the ambiance of love of the city of Boston is evident in the pride and professional service to their patrons shown by the staff. This is a place to put on your list to have a great meal, fantastic cocktails and great service while in Boston. We are definitely coming back when visiting Boston. SUPER!!!! Michele S. read more

My husband and I decided to take a nice stroll through Boston today. We wanted to stop off somewhere for a quick beer and some chowder during our walk. We passed several little taverns and stopped at The Point. We saw a sign outside advertising "the best clam chowder in Boston". I looked at my husband and laughed stating how all restaurants like to claim that so we decided to give it a try. WOW, I was pleasantly surprised, the chowder was probably the best I've had, and I love chowder. Service was very quick and friendly as well. Felt very warm and inviting. A must try place if you're in Boston. read more

Hello, Those of you look n for a great time, get to The Point. The staff was great. Fiday night " Me and Julio" blew the door and windows out. I felt the staff was friendly. Yes the bathrooms could be bigger. I also felt it attracted a good crowd, in a fun mood. The place is small, but an excuse me works just fine. Moved from Boston to Charleston, SC 6 years ago. First visit back, can't wait to return. Had fun with Charleston and Charlestown. I was taking train later that night, had many offers to drive me home. Anyway, it was fun to be around people that talked like me again. Capt. America read more

BEST NIGHT EVER!!!! I was there two weeks ago with a group of bachelorettes looking to have some fun. Only a five dollar cover for great music, great people, great drinks. Crowded but we were always able to make our way to the bar for drinks. Doorstaff let us jump the line because we were dressed to impress, and the people in the line weren't looking too bad either! Two dollar beers got us started, but soon we were on our way to martinis and blueberry muffin shots (the hit of our night)! All I know is we'll be back for another great night. read more

The bouncer felt the need to put his hands on my friend when he was walking in despite not being near the front of the door like any bouncer should. This African American bouncer with a beard walked from feet away to grab my friend and pull him outside so he can check his ID.

It was a chilly evening right at the beginning of fall so we wanted something cozy to warm up in. I actually didn't realize the replica bar upstairs wouldn't be open, although I think sometimes it is because I've seen pictures where there's people sitting in it, but I think mostly they use it for show. We saw people coming from downstairs so we decided to check it out. When we got inside the place was packed. The bar had no seats whatsoever so we stood by the countertop right behind the bar. We got a downeast hard cider on draft, which was really good. Luckily seats opened up at the counter. The bartender let us know that we could purchase the mugs if we wanted to bring them home. I decided not to as we were walking and taking the train home, but I might come back to get one so I can have the memorabilia. The downstairs bar is very cozy. It's sort of centers the room and around it our tables where you could eat at. I overhead the staff say the tables are just for food and drink -- I think because it's so busy. When you continue on past the bar, you get to a mini gift shop right before the bathrooms, they also had name tags where you could write your name on, which was cool. My boyfriend surprised me with a magnet because he knows I collect them, which was cute. Next to the bathrooms are stairs to go visit the replica bar from the show. This is also where they have the main gift shop with plenty of things you could take home, including shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, magnets, and other cool stuff too. Honestly working in the hospitality industry I will recommend this bar to tourists and to locals. Even though it is very touristy, there is quality behind it so it works well. I will be back to try a cuppa chowder!

This place doubles as a dispensary on the main floor and a cool rooftop bar and lounge upstairs. Because of the dispensary aspect of it, you do have to go through security to gain access. You will have someone take you up in an elevator and once you're up top, the good vibes immediately hit. Why do they call it a rooftop bar and lounge you ask? Well, I would assume it's because when we came in November, it was cold outside, so the retractable roof was closed. This made it feel more loungey inside. I'm guessing when the weather is right, that roof is open and then it becomes a rooftop bar. It's pure speculation, but I think my theory is right. Like mentioned above, the vibes here were amazing. The ambience was nice. The low lights and neon lights made it a very sexy, but small space. The music was jamming 90's hip hop and R&B and everyone in there was enjoying it.
