The drink selection is limited (in the best way) -- no need to overthink your order here. The bartenders are pros who've seen it all; they're friendly, fast, and take zero nonsense. Service is efficient, the crowd's laid-back, and the prices are unbelievably good for downtown Boston. It's the kind of place that doesn't try too hard -- because it doesn't have to. I love everything about this bar. A true Boston classic.

I was in for a drink (Boston sour) and out as soon as I could finish it. Should be 3 main ingredients... whiskey, sour mix, and frothed egg white. It was heavily flavored sour mix. And cheap at that. No shaking (or even stirring) this cocktail. They seemed annoyed that even ordered it. And for $11- NO THANK YOU!!!! If you're visiting Boston-- don't waste your time. I'm glad I got out after 1 drink, and wish I didn't even waste my time or money.

That worked out great, we had almost no wait. The place was full. There were alot of people enjoying the food menu, which we didn't plan on since we had dinner reservations elsewhere for later. But we got a couple of drinks. There are many types of speakeasies. The Wig Shop is one of favorite kinds, classy. The drinks were alcohol forward, with elegant presentations. It was perfect.

This place was awesome!!!…read more If you are a Gen X'er, and love great cocktails, you will love this place! So we are from out of town; Texas, to be exact, and we were in Boston on vacation. We were looking for a place we could get some drinks and appetizers, and maybe watch some sports. A person in our group found this place online, so we gave it a try. We loved it! The 80s & 90s decor, as well as the 80s & 90s music they were playing made it an instant hit for our Gen X group. Every single song that was played was on my personal playlist, so we sang along and danced at our table to the tunes that took us back in time. There were some early 2000s songs played, too, but all songs played were songs we know and love. So needless to say, we loved the music!! Also, the drinks...oh my, the drinks. They were so, so good! Some in our group had the Adult Caprisun, including myself. It was so tasty, and served in an actual pouch, which brought me back to my 80s childhood. Another in our group ordered the Pink Flamingo which came with a little inflatable pink flamingo that you could take home with you. We noticed that the drinks were just perfect, too; not too strong with alcohol, and not watered down, either. The food was okay. It's bar food, so it's not going to knock your socks off or anything, but it hits the spot if you are drinking and hanging with friends. Our server was good. She was attentive to our needs and took good care of us. It was interesting to me that we, a group of age 50 somethings, were the oldest among the clientele, as everyone else was probably in their 20s or early 30s, but we didn't care. We had a great time! The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because someone in our group wanted to watch the Red Sox game, and apparently it was on Apple TV that night and the bar didn't have Apple TV.

The atmosphere is very casual and low-key, perfect for grabbing drinks and a bite without any pretense. I ordered a flatbread listed as a Margarita, but it was more like a cheese pizza than a true Margarita. It was still decent, just not what I expected. The online menu did not match what was available at the restaurant, which made ordering a little confusing. On the drink side, the wine selection was underwhelming, but the beer list was solid, and the cocktail menu stood out. They clearly put more focus on mixed drinks. This is not a fine dining destination, but it works well for what it is, a laid-back bar with better-than-average food and a great drink program. I rate it 3.5 stars, but will round up to 4 for the strong service and cocktails. It is a good choice if you're looking for a casual spot downtown with good energy.

The staff is unprofessional, rude and racist! Especially a female barkeep who repeatedly speaks to customers disrespectfully, ignores orders and requests and lashes out with a hostile attitude for no apparent reason when she is ushered. She repeatedly picks fights with patrons especially Indians and people of color and has them thrown when they ask to see the management about her behavior. I've been here some 6 times and already witnessed 4 such incidents, before seeing it happen to my friend first hand. Its appalling to see this behavior being allowed and condoned by the management in a place like Boston. Their targeted baseless harassment of non-white customers is nothing short of a hate crime and is a source of emotional duress for many individuals who have been here. I hope to see this place flagged or blacklisted soon. read more

My friends have been roofied and sexually assaulted here. I witnessed the bouncers not do a thing about it the manager Robbie is always drunk and lets in underaged girls all the time. The GM Chuck is aware of it and lets it all go as long as he's making money. I have been told by staff from the kitchen that the GM's wife is a cop who also knows and pulls strings so that it isn't noticed by the main police force. There use to be a male bartender there who was super disrespectful according to my friends. I went once and I will never come again I have been threatened by the staff after I complained. Video evidence is there and they let in underage students all the time on Thursdays especially. I hope my friends file a lawsuit for what you allowed in your bar. read more

I love going to this place. The people are kind and will talk to you if you want them to. They leave me alone when I don't. Some people may think they're being rude for not talking, but if you're sitting alone at a bar, the lack of conversation is your own fault. Period. They also keep trash people out of the place. I'm guessing Mr. One Star wasn't allowed in for not having his ID or for being rude to the bouncer. Rule #1 to getting into a bar is ID ready and don't tick the bouncer off or you're never getting in. Talked to same bouncer (Josh I think?), and he was nice and joking with people. I went out for a smoke and he gave me a light and we had a pleasant chat. Haters gonna hate though. Anyways, drink selection is nice. read more

No wonder its called two saints tavern because I was sure that I was in heaven. The staff was so wonderful and caring after I confided in one of the bartenders that my girlfriend had been sleeping with her boss Kevin. He treated me to a smooth natural ice on the house and after my girlfriend stood me up because she was out getting dinner and drinks with her boss Kevin. I then ordered a 'mind eraser', the signature drink, however it did not erase from my mind that at that very moment my girlfriend was probably sleeping with her boss, Kevin.

The area is in between the curved marble stair cases that lead to the high limit gaming area. It's a vibrant, busy, and relatively noisy spot. The problem with this bar is that they're very short staffed and when busy it can take 20+ minutes to get a drink ordered. They also struggle to keep the bar stocked and so the beer you want may not be available. Another issue is they serve some drinks in plastic disposable cups, which is unacceptable for a luxury place and especially one where you are paying $16 for a cocktail, $8 to $12 for a beer, and $13 to $23 for a glass of wine. It also feels insulting to pay that much and be served in disposable plastic, especially when even the comped drinks at the tables are coming in glass.
