    Mast of the Tall Ship
    Jeff D.

    On a beautiful day and you want a break? Are you looking for a place to watch football in the fall? Are you looking for a place for the family to play games and have good food? This is the place! We came here to watch a college football game on Saturday, what a perfect venue to be outside! They have a huge screen showing one of the games. And there are also TV's on the ship by the bar. They tuned on one of the games we wanted to watch. The service was good. They had Corn Hole, Jinga and other games to play. This place also has one of the best views of Boston.

    What a view!

    Very cool spot. We took the boat over and back, which was fun. The ship has amazing views of the Boston city skyline. It was cool to enjoy a drink and some fresh shucked oysters while hanging out on a ship on the water, even if the ship wasn't moving. And then, we really enjoyed the turf area next to it, with a bunch of food trucks, more bars, corn hole, giant Jenga, and connect Four. Fun for our friend's 10-yr old nephew. Definitely enjoyed the experience!

    One of my absolute favorite places to be in the summer time. Whether daytime or at night, Tall Ship is always a good time. Stay on the outdoor grounds, or climb onboard the 245' vessel floating on the pier for some drink La and oysters. With gorgeous views, a wide selection of foods & delicious drinks, Tall Ship is a great outdoor lounge to visit for a lovey waterfront experience featuring live entertainment, food vendors, food trucks, the occasional pop ups & more.

    This place was so cute and relaxed for an outdoor drink and some food. They have cornhole they have other outdoor games that you can play. They have tons of outdoor seating and outlooks the harbor in Boston and it's gorgeous. We got there a little bit earlier today during a little bit and there was no line. It was easy to come into a lot of seats get taken up a lot of the board games get taken up because it is a popular busy place. But wait for the drinks and the food was very minimal so that was good. When we left, which was around 4 PM, there was a very long line to get in so I would definitely recommend trying to get there a little bit earlier to avoid waiting in the line. I would totally come back here just because the ambience was so nice nautical and coastal. It's like no other. It was beautiful.

    MOLLY. We had pink wrist bands and your bartender MOLLY denied us. Said we were minors as if we weren't already approved with our proper wrist bands by security. She upcharged individuals around us as well. Not sure if you really want these people working here.

    We came here on a non-event Thursday night, and there was no line and free entry. The area is so beautiful at sunset/night because of the lights strung up and the city skyline. They have a lot of outdoor games and music playing if you want some excitement, or tables lined by the waterside if you want to sit in a quieter area. It's a nice spot for a drink and some food. The pizza truck there is also pretty good - the toppings are very fresh and the crust is very fluffy.

    What a nice incredible view of Boston from the tall ship! I found that this floating bar is very creative my exceptional ! Very fortunate to come on Monday night, where no one was there so it was a perfect night not too windy clear temperature just perfect and the skyline view was incredible! Nice to have drinks. this is perfect for a party or on a nice quiet evening a date! There's an oyster bar on board too.

    so we were in Boston for a couple days and a friend of the cutest of chicks said we needed to be here so here we were... and I've been pondering this for a couple months and unless I'm missing something I really don't understand what we'd been missing; someone made a bar out of a fairly large vaguely historical three-masted ship and anchored it on the other side of the harbor... on the plus side it isn't sailing away anytime soon and there's no cover charge to drink on the boat. the pier is a whole different sort of let down entirely: stand around for a while and watch people stand in line at the food trucks and play corn hole or maybe corn hole or a different other cornhole or watch some big TVs out of doors on uncomfortable seating. heard some talk that them was supposed to maybe put in a skating rink for the winter but I'm not sure what the draw would be. getting frost bite AND a radial fracture? best part of this whole adventure was the boat ride across the harbor. hanging out in the breeze looking out across the water was totally worth the fares both forth and back.

    Came here for a corporate team outing and we had a really nice time! We had two side-by-side seating areas next to each other to ourselves and although we came on quite a hot, sunny day, by the time the sun had set it was such wonderful, perfect weather. This spot has a ton of seating and food for the masses as well as really nice bathroom, surprisingly. They have activities such as corn hole and large jenga which was pretty fun as well. Service was decent and our dedicated server never left us alone for too long which was nice. The food options they had were really expensive, but quality wasn't too bad. The seafood shack we chose forgot my entree, but they hand delivered it to me when it was done and it was super filling as well as just overall very solid so I'm glad I chose it. The ice cream sandwich they offer as well at one of the other shops was great - free toppings as well so I couldn't miss out on the m&ms. Overall, great spot to hang out with friends by the water. The views are stunning, the food and drinks are decent, and I would gladly come back. Thanks, Tall Ship!

    In my opinion, Tall Ship lives up to the hype. I hardly ever go to East Boston, but apparently that's the place to be. The views from Tall Ship are simply unmatched. Even though there was a line, there wasn't any cover, and it was worthwhile for the fun vibes. There were more vendors than I expected. You can find all the drinks you'd expect, as well as lots of food stalls. Most of the stuff is overpriced, but that's what I imagined. If you're heading back to Boston, take the ferry back for some more views!

    I'd been wanting to check out The Tall Ship since it opened and finally got to go! We were worried there would be a wait, but we walked right in on a Friday around 4:30. The bar was pretty well stocked and I got an Aperol Spritz while my friend chose a Truly. Service was quick, but the drinks were on the pricy side. The novelty of being on a floating vessel really made the experience worthwhile. We walked around the Navy Yard (right next to the ship), which had food vendors and lawn games. We ended up getting a half dozen oysters from the raw bar on the ship, which were fresh and delicious (although again, pricy). Overall, we had a fun time and enjoyed the good vibes and beautiful views. Would love to return for a sunset!

    This is one of the first bars I went to in Boston and it truly encompasses living in the city. It's a place I love to take friends that visit because it's such a fun and unique concept of a bar on a docked ship with a little grass area next to it where people can mingle, see views of the city, and play cornhole! My biggest advice: don't get drinks on the ship because it takes longer. Instead, go towards the left back where they have frozen drinks that are so much more fun than the regular. I love a good pina colada and was sad when I got one of the drinks at the front and realized that they had it here all along and in a less than nothing line! Enjoy and own that ship!

    Great place to spend a summer afternoon, and the perfect spot to show off Boston to out of town visitors! I don't make it over to Eastie often, but if I do, this is almost always the reason. Before we get any further here, I want to mention that my 5 star rating is in regards to the overall experience. You can definitely get better food, cocktails, and prices at plenty of other places, but Tall Ship is one of a kind thanks to the atmosphere and the venue itself. The star of this place (other than the stunning water and city skyline views) is the ship itself, it's a massive sail boat with a couple of bars and a raw bar on it, plus lots of standing room to enjoy the view or catch a game on one of the TVs hanging above. The pier next to it features tons of seating, lawn games, a huge projector screen for games, and lots of food and drink stalls to choose from. This visit, I sampled oysters, fried clams, and fried calamari from a few different vendors. Again, you can find better food all around Boston, but it was all tasty and there's something about eating seafood on the water with a tropical cocktail in hand that just hits different. This place is only open seasonally, and it's really popular (especially with the younger crows), so it can get pretty packed. You can reserve private roped off lounge areas, but it's a bit pricey, so I'd just keep the line in mind when you're choosing when to visit. Overall - a great way to spend a day in East Boston. I'll see you next Summer for sure, Tall Ship :)

    I can't recommend The College Club of Boston enough. It's a beautiful victorian style building. Old…read morefashioned, but truly iconic. I was staying for 2 nights, my first time in the city. I was very unsure which area to stay in, but I'm so happy I chose CCB because the location is absolutely perfect. Back Bay is very nice and safe. You even have a wonderful park just outside the doorstep to walk around, and the lovely Boston Commons only two blocks away. Check-in/out was one of the most seamless experiences I've had with hotels/airbnbs. I didn't have to check in with anyone, and I received the door code a few days before. They have a lovely dining room for guests with homemade cookies, fruit, coffee and tea. Unfortunately I didn't take advantage of the breakfast, but I'm sure it's great too. CCB is really the perfect mix of a hotel and bed/breakfast. I was unsure about doing the solo room with a shared bathroom, but other than having to wait for the other guest to finish his shower so I could take an urgent bio break, it was no issue at all and I would hands down do it again. I'm pretty sure the other floors have a bathroom if you absolutely need it though. For the location, price, comfort, and amenities, College Club of Boston is a no brainer. I got the please to quickly meet the GM on my way out, and she is super sweet. I even left my airpods in the room, and without hesitation they are shipping them back to me. 5 starts forsure.

    We had our wedding ceremony here. It was absolutely perfect. We had 12 guests total, but the space…read morecould definitely accommodate a considerably larger party. The venue itself was breathtakingly beautiful, clean, and presentable. We requested a charcuterie board, champagne, and fruit platter, and it was stunningly displayed and high quality. There was a great mini-bar. Anna the manager was very responsive and accommodating. I am extremely pleased with our experience and would 100% recommend this venue!
