Had a group of 7 come here when there was no event happening so it was not busy at all. It was free entry to go on the concrete area with the food trucks/kiosks which was nice. There is corn hole, jenga, connect 4, and many tables. The food spots were very good as my group all got different things. There was not a spot that we were disappointed by. The drinks were also very decent. A bit small for cocktails given some prices. The city line view is unbeatable. read more

Tall Ship could be one of Boston's best summer spots--the views are unbeatable, the atmosphere is electric, and the waterfront setting is truly special. But none of that can distract from the fact that this place is a masterclass in price gouging. You can easily pay over $40 for TWO drinks (after tip + tax). Not fancy cocktails. Not pitchers. Just two basic drinks. That should be illegal. And here's the worst part: the owners know exactly what they're doing. They're not charging these prices because they have to--they're doing it because they can. Because people will keep showing up, keep paying, and keep posting about how "fun" it is while they're being blatantly taken advantage of. Tall Ship doesn't care about its customers. It's not built around hospitality, it's built around hype and greed. The owners have made it crystal clear: profit over people. And honestly, shame on them. I'm done spending money at places that treat their customers like open wallets. If you're tired of being gouged for the "privilege" of standing on a boat with a drink in your hand, skip Tall Ship. Beautiful doesn't make up for exploitative. read more

Oh my god DO NOT COME HERE it is so bad almost everyone that works here is so miserably rude!!

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. read more

The vibes and views are so so good, but unfortunately the food and drink quality just doesn't match up with the very high prices. We loved the live band, but $17 for a couple of mid tacos and $11 for a High Noon is just tough to swallow. read more

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! read more

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. read 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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 :) read more

Interesting concept and a great beer garden energy. The view of the city is awesome. It's spacious, lots of seating, there are plenty of cornhole and jenga games, but some of our cornhole bean bags were missing? Also feels a bit weirdly removed and in a quiet area if you walk there from the T stop. The drinks are pricey (~$20, with tax and tip). I indulged in the spiked slushies, which are definitely worth it. The mudslide is SO good, it's basically kahlua in slushy form. The banana flavor is surprisingly yummy too, especially when mixed with the mudslide. They offer samples of the slushies as well! I'd suggest to go here with a group and during the day! Also seems more of a summer spot, it gets very chilly with the wind! read more

Such a fun find! We had other plans that totally failed and fell through and this place totally made up for it.

Spectacular and immense space for lounging, vibing and catching what is probably the best view of Boston imaginable. Some poorer reviews quibble with the quality/price of drinks but you can order great IPAs (eg., true north, castle Island) for $10, as well as all the High Noons you can desire--and the rest is a paradise of free games, big outdoor screens, uncrowded seating, live music, and views, views, views. read more

Fun place to grab a drink for a gorgeous summer day in Boston! You get to see the city skyline. There are lots of seating and game/activities to keep you entertained. Drinks were okay, kinda pricey for how it was watered down. Not much food options. Still a good spot for hanging out with a huge group of friends. read more

Will let people in if they slip security a $20! Wanted in line for more than an hour and we're watching people walk right up to security manager, slip them some cash, and get right in. should of thought of that before i waited in line :) read more

Recommend for the atmosphere. The drinks are ok as well as the oysters. The food I have tried here, including the clam chowder, crispy chicken rice bowl, and burrito bowl were all expensive and mediocre in flavor. I don't recommend you get dinner or lunch here, maybe some oysters or apps. read more

Great experience everything was excellent service was grate definitely going back also

This location is gorgeous, and it's a great spot to catch up with friends, see a beautiful sunset over the harbor, or even catch a workout class surprisingly. However food options are limited, and drinks are both expensive and not great quality. I still love the concept, but come with the low expectations on the beverages! read more

Fun atmosphere and great place to take kids that are under 21 but still want to go out. There might be street parking but there is also valet for maybe $25. Which is significantly easier. Food and drink trucks are there. Some are better than other. All are expensive, and I feel as though you're paying a premium for the locations. There are Porta potties for the bathrooms and also the nicer version, too. Recently found put that if your on the ship section and leave to go to the bathroom you don't have to wait in line. Just make sure to ask for a ticket for something. The place has really great views of the city. However, the staff is very hit or miss. I've had some rude staff members there and I've been multiple times read more

Visited for the first time last night with a small group. The views of the city are amazing and there is plenty of space for everyone. I think it's cool one of the bars is on the actual ship. They had 2 large screens set up showing sports. They also had several lawn games including cornhole. Would stay away from cocktails as the Aperol Spritz I got was very watered down even though it cost $18. Better to eat beforehand too as the food options are mediocre and overpriced. Seems to be kid friendly as well as we saw many there with their families. read more

I don't know what to say - This place has SERIOUSLY ruined my family's third annual Boston family trip. My son (13 years old, illiterate) accidentally entered the lower section of the ship in search of a place to urinate. In response, the manager told us to kick rocks! Completely outrageous behavior! I will never be purchasing another non-alcoholic beer at this establishment again. read more

I was hesitant coming here after reading the reviews and I'm glad I came! I had a wonderful time! There wasn't a cover charge when we visited on a Friday night. Recommend taking an Uber/lyft since they only have street parking in this busy area otherwise you'll have to pay for valet parking. When you first enter there are 2-3 food trucks. I wish there were more options! My fiancé and friend got food from the chicken and rice food truck and they said it was filling! I got food from the taco/burrito side and it was delicious! I got the chicken tinga burrito bowl! It was warm and fresh! A little pricey but it was the best bang for my buck considering this was the price for everything else. My other friends got food from the deli side such as a chicken Caesar wrap and she was disappointed as it was cold and pretty much premade. As for drinks they're ranging around $15 for the mixed drinks. I recommend getting the slushie mixed drinks and it's $17 and an extra shot is an extra $3 so it's $20.33 after tax. I recommend getting an extra shot since it'll make it into two drinks pretty much! They are strong and so delicious! Robin was an amazing bartender and let us taste test since there's so many flavors! Recommend visiting Tall Ship when you're in Boston! read more

Tall Ship is great for large groups, offering stunning water and city skyline views along with numerous food options and group activities. My sister and I stopped by on a random Wednesday. We initially came here craving something sweet, but were disappointed to find the dessert cart closed. So, we opted for a pizza instead, and it turned out to be delicious! Tall Ship is the ideal Boston summer hangout destination, and I'm looking forward to coming back when the weather gets warmer. read more

Great place to go with a group of friends for a casual night out. The yard games were fun but there was a wait for them/people would be waiting for you to finish. We went during the Copa America games so they were playing those on the projectors around the place. There is an oyster bar attached but we stayed in the grassy area. View of the city is great but it's out of the way and drinks are on the pricier side. read more

My son and I got food poisoning from the taco truck. I consider this a drink spot only.

Food: It's pretty expensive as the tacos is $19 for 2 small ones, and they taste decent but I rather get food elsewhere. The pizza is a little better for a decent at $19 for a pie size and the chicken sandwich was okay but the fried are really skinny and dry. It's all food truck style which is alright overall but it's better than nothing if you're there drinking all day. Service: Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we need like drinks, water and table space even after we all had to go inside the tent from the rain. Ambiance: We got a lounge for our party which was nice to sit and chill. The view is a huge wide space of the pier and there's boats going along the water. You can go on the boat next to it and grab drinks and hang as well. It's rather family friendly but it can be an all adults thing too. Unfortunately we didn't get to stay at the lounge for too long as it started to rain and we stayed under the tent which can be crowded. I'm not sure what's the policy is on lounge usage because you do have to pay $50-100 deposit (does not go towards your bill) for a reservation lounge. We got to use it for less than an hr so I wish that would've been compt considering we also had to spend a minimum of $250 for the lounge reservation. It's great for large gatherings to hang out and enjoy the environment. Music could be have better choices but there's a large projector showing the games plus TVs Location accommodation: The parking is valet for $25-50 depending on the day you go, we went on Sunday afternoon and it was $25 or you can also try find side street parking. read more

The 'crispy' chicken sandwich was cold and soggy. They served it to me within 10 seconds of ordering it. So, clearly it was just sitting in a container waiting to be given out. Space is nice, so I'll give a star for that read more

The place itself is a great establishment but the employees could care less to be there. I waited over 5 minutes at the front of one of the stands waiting to be served, but the attendee was on FaceTime with a friend or significant other. At one point he looked at us and went back to his FaceTime call, and after saying "excuse me" and waiting another minute found another stand. Unbelievably poor service for an establishment like that. Video evidence of this as well but don't want to post individuals without their permission. read more

My friends and I had a pleasant experience coming for a drink on a Friday night. A lock of cover fee was greatly appreciated as we had taken an Uber to get here knowing that parking was going to be tough. Plenty of seats available with lots of space to spread out. There are a few games like corn hole, a mini trampoline, and other minute options that can occupy your time while you're enjoying the scenic view. A couple of bars are located around the tables and on the boat with cocktails, beers, and hard seltzer's. Unfortunately for us we only were able to enjoy it for a couple of hours as they closed at 11 pm. Would recommend others to check them out! read more

We went to Tall Ship for the vintage clothing market that they were having on May 11,2025 and decided to get some food while we were there. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich boneless chicken breast seasoned with a spicy blend of peppers, freshly breaded, shredded lettuce, served on a bun with dill pickles for $17. I should have taken a photo of this sandwich. This was a frozen chicken patty that had some spices sprinkled on top. This was NOT a boneless chicken breast and for $17 what a disappointment! My wife ordered the Clam Strip Plate New England fried clam strips battered and served to a golden crisp with the choice of french fries or onion rings, and tartar sauce $24. Then only to become really sick not long after having them, throwing everything back up. I would NOT recommend eating anything from the Tall Ship area. I feel like they could do a much better job with the food vendors than what they have in place! Photo similar to what was served for chicken breast. read more

Huge multi-use bar space with tons of options for drinks, food, games and seating. Very pricey and wouldn't recommend the food. Liked the novelty of the bar on the ship and the views alone are amazing. Came on a Wed eve around 7:30 and was lucky to find a parking spot a few blocks away and had no problem getting in. Ordered some freshly shucked oysters that were nice and briny at $4/each. My friend was bummed about the sushi they got, as it's grocery store quality and it was $16 for a roll. They were still hungry afterward and paid another $20 for 2 street tacos that were okay, so they basically paid $36 for a subpar dinner. Beer is $10, cocktails $18-22. The prices overall are steep, you're paying for the experience. Would recommend eating elsewhere first, pregame and then come here for drinks, games and views. read more
