38 Best Cocktail Bars near Bedford

“This place has great ambience. We went for their weekend buffet and the food is truly amazing. The best we've had in greater Boston so far. The kathi rolls, rabdi, chicken briyani was delicious. I also love how they post their weekly buffet menu on their Instagram page.“

“I love eating at the Minuteman Diner.Today, I ordered biscuits and gravy. (Hey, I'm from the South. I know it's a tough dish to nail.)I got a beautiful plate, but the gravy wasn't hot. (The horror!)I mentioned it to my server, and she had it corrected immediately.Was it good?Yes.Was I left wanting more?You bet.Home fries, 2 eggs, 2 biscuits (with gravy) and a piece of sausage was $16.00. The coffee was fresh and hot, and the refills were offered frequently.The diner is (maybe) a little pricey; but, home cooking comes at a cost.Try the Minuteman Diner on your next visit to Bedford.“

“I've been to the Bodega several times and have always had a positive experience. My girlfriend and I went on our first date here and had a great time. Food is delicious, particularly the creative dishes that incorporate new American and Asian fusion with unique flavors. The drinks are strong and delicious.“

“I've been several times and I've never been disappointed. There are a few things I would change on the menu if I was in charge, but they execute what they offer very well. Would love to have a bit more vegetarian creativity, but even the plain "cheese enchiladas" are amazing. The ambience both indoors and out (when the weather is good) is great. All in all I think Acitron is an example of a city-class restaurant that happens to be conveniently located here in my town. Lucky to have them.“

“In my partner's words: "It became my favorite restaurant in the entire state".I couldn't believe that each one of the small plates we tried (Spanish style tapas) was excellent!! You can't go wrong with anything in that menu. We tried the Local Farm Corn Soup, Uruguayan Style Beef Empanada, Wood Grilled Poussin Chicken, Wild Mushrooms in Escabeche, and the Wood Grilled Pork Sausage. I'm not hyperbolizing when I say this is the best chicken I ever had. ...Cherry on top, cocktails are excellent (try the Fig Infused Bourbon Old Fashioned) and the Alfajores where delicious. ?Give it a try, you won't regret it ?“

“Our new favorite joint!! The portions are generous and cocktails are on point. Max and Chelsea are amazing humans and it’s evident the love they’ve poured into this restaurant. Dining there feels like coming home… minus the family drama/judgment and with the tastiest, most nurturing home cooked meal. We are so happy to have this neighborhood gem so close to us.“

“On a business trip in the Concord area and checked out 80 Thoreau. One thing to note is that this place is tricky to find. It looks like it doesn't exist when you get there but it's right next to the eye glass store. It's on the second floor so you need to take a hallway with stairs which is why it was hard to find. Once I did eventually find it, the overall experience was great. This is more of a fine dining restaurant so the prices are expensive, however, the food was amazing. They have a limited menu so it makes it easy to choose and everything was very very fresh. On top of the food, the service was great! The bartender was very very friendly and our waiter was attentive and gave great recommendations! Would recommend trying this place out if you are in the concord area“

“There's lots of good Thai food around Boston but Thonglor is my favorite! Every time I take a new bite I literally think the words, "This is cooked to perfection" LOL... like the Ratatouille critic... Such a dependable delivery place, I try to order something new each time and every single dish has been delicious! I can tell from photos that the dine-in plating looks beautiful, and I think even in the take-out boxes you can tell there is lots of care put in. :) I love the pad kee mao, khao pad tomyum, and mango sticky rice. The curry puffs and keaw wan gai are also great!“

“Got takeout. Good food takes time, so be patient-- The wait is worth it. The lobster raviolis $29 were stuffed with lobster. The sauce was delicious with perfectly cooked portobello mushrooms. Spumoni $13 was delicious as well. The mini ciabatta that accompanied the entree was crispy on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside--perfect. The restaurant was packed on a Mon evening. Definitely check this place out. You won't be disappointed.“

“Not from the area, but we went to a coffee roasting event and the owner recommended checking out Moody St. My friends and I first saw Amuleto when driving too Moody St. We all like Mexican, so agreed to try it. This place did not disappoint. They seemed short-staffed at that moment, but they waiter managed just fine. Great food and drink selection and my friends are vegetarians and had no issues choosing their lunch or apps. Overall, the place is really nice inside and the food was great!I'm down in the New Bedford area and we have our fair share of great restaurants, but I would come back here again, with more friends.“

“I like this place. My husband and I went there for Valentine's Day. They were super busy. We made a reservation for a table online, however, when we came in our table was not ready because they were too busy. And then they had a line after us. But the manager somehow resolved the situation and we did not wait for so long. The service was great, and our server was nice. We ordered some meat and meatballs that we never tried before. The meatballs were supposed to be varied, however, it tasted all the same in my and my husband's opinion. It was not an issue. Everything was great. We had a great time and enjoyed the food.“

“Everything was excellent from start to finish. The decor is cozy and welcoming as you would expect from a nice neighborhood bar. The service was excellent: friendly and knowledgeable. When i saw the menu, I at first thought, "Polish and Portuguese food? Really?" But it works. I had buffalo wings to start, Pierogi for my main, and doughnuts for dessert. Everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. Top it all off with a thorough but not overwhelming list of cocktails, craft beers, and wine, and it made for a perfect dinner date.Highly recommended.“

“It's absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in all of Massachusetts. The food is incredible. I've tried everything on the menu and have been amazed at the quality of the food. If you're looking for a place to impress your date or want to sit down with friends and family, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The staff are friendly and professional, and the desserts are to die for. I give this restaurant an A+“

“From the front of the house to the kitchen Krave is second to none . Family owned , up scale, personable. My wife and I love $8 margaritas easy parking and great service. From the owner to the staff Krave is the hidden gem of Burlington,Woburn,Winchester,Lexington area and is atop of our list! Cheers!“

“Wonderful tastes, gracious hosts, and beautiful live Indian music when we were there. The menu includes many Nepalese dishes which are a particular treat. The room is unremarkable. The customers are relatively diverse and, on the weekend evenings, there are often large multi-generational families dining together.“

“Got the aged ribeye. One of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time.The service was great as well, very attentive. I am in a sling because of a shoulder surgery and the waiter offered to cut the steak without being asked.The restaurant is gorgeous as well. Definitely a nice place to bring people you care about.Had a great time!“

“This was my first time trying this restaurant and the food was delicious and melt in my mouth feeling. My friend had been here before and we had the same waitress as the friend had used before. The staff was friendly and helpful with any of the needs we needed. There was also a space to eat outdoors if we wanted to and had various music playing as we ate and nice to hear. Had a great first visit and will come back to try something else once again.“

“Jimmy's has been in Arlington over 45 years and I'm so glad they are still around! We've been coming here for years. This restaurant is a classic, comfortable steakhouse and yes they have other fabulous food as well. Their steaks, chops, prime rib and tips are all super tender and perfectly cooked to order. They offer a large menu of items as well - chicken, seafood dishes, lots of Italian specialties, surf & turf, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and yummy desserts. All at a very reasonable price point. There's a good size bar with seating as you walk in to the left. A nice wine and beer list with some fun specialty cocktails. Also plenty of parking in their lot next to the restaurant. It's one of our go to places for a great meal, efficient friendly service (recently by Kimberly W) in a relaxing atmosphere! I can't imagine anyone being disappointed.“

“Loved the intimate atmosphere. Bartender was great, drinks were amazing. Food was really good, and tasted fresh. I had the prosperity noodles instead of something with rice. If you're looking for something different, delicious, and special, this is the place.“

“Excellent Coffee Place with freshly brewed coffee and lattes served to perfection.The Atmosphere here inside is very good and and it is one of the most relaxing place ever encountered. Thinks can never go wrong in this place and a must try place for coffee lovers.“

“Hopewell always hits! The food here is incredible, nothing more needs to be said. But honestly, the truffle fries are a must. The pizza was a 10/10. The cocktails our server recommended were perfection. I’m already looking forward to going back. Wish I saved room for dessert because everything sounded good. The vibes are cozy and quaint.“

“Excellent food, that's the key. Pricing a few dollars higher than most local "pubs" but lower than most nice restaurants around.... and this food was BETTER. Also good beer list... and they know how to pour Guinness properly. Service was perfect too. This was our first time , but we're coming back often.“

“Cannot recommend Branch Line enough!!! I organized a baby shower brunch with 18 guests and the entire process was seamless. Great communication prior to the event with clear and reasonable pricing. Parking is extremely easy and accessible. The long table was set and decorated beautifully and the restaurant made custom menus for us. We ate a 3 course brunch family style and everything was delicious and perfect! They were very accomodating for those with dietary restrictions. The staff and service was phenomenal- so kind and attentive. Truly the best brunch I have had in a long time and an incredible experience for our group. I will definitely be returning to Branch Line! Thank you!!“

“After checking in the hotel in Waltham, Massachusetts the front desk provided a list of all, and I mean all the restaurants in the area. In settling for a choice we chose Charcoal Guidos on Moody Street. Fearful that a Friday night would be very busy, we were pleasantly surprised to be given a table right away. Service was prompt, professional and pleasant from the attendant providing water and then Juan who provided great service through the meal. Arancini was tasty, mussels in a tomato broth pleasing, and the gnocchi with a bolognese plentiful and very good. Overall just a very good meal from start to finish. Kudos to Juan for making sure we were happy with our meal without perching at our table the whole time. Recommend this place for anyone seeking excellent Italian food in a pleasant setting.“

“This place was a hidden gem; even their entrance felt hidden. We came here after dinner to drink; we ordered three rounds. We tried Rio to Tokyo, San Juan to Hanoi, Lima to Dubai, Pennies del cielo, and Guavaleada. It was interesting that they mixed flavors from the departure city to the final destination into a drink. All drinks are presented beautifully, and you really can taste the alcohol. Since we both can't drink without snacks, even though we had dinner less than half an hour ago, we ordered the wagyu temaki, snow crab temaki, negi toro temaki, and yuzu rotate temaki. The quality of the ingredients was fresh, and there was not much rice. The menu is limited; don't come here if you expect a full meal unless you want to eat a poke bowl and/or are willing to pay a lot more just for small bites. I am willing to return if I am around the area for drinks and small bites.“

“I liked the place. The food tasted great. You can choose from salad or a warm grain bowl and add there a shish kebab. They have different options for shish kebabs. I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken kebab. It was great. They have a nice drink menu. They even had 3 different options of Spritzes which is nice because I like them. My friends and I had a good time, we ordered desserts. We had Pot de Crème and some kind of donuts. Everything was so tasty. However, our waiter took forever to place our orders each time and to bring our checks. And he was always mumbling something. It was not a great experience. Other than that everything was perfect. There is parking available behind the building. This place is kinda small, I highly recommend making a reservation before you go there.“

“Moonstones is a solid choice for work outings and dinners for special occasions. I recommend the Bee's Knees cocktail, the tuna tartare, and the mushroom risotto. Service is friendly and prompt and the décor of the dining area is unique and comfy. Easy parking on the side and in the back of the restaurant.“

“Love coming to Za! We always come on a weeknight for impromptu dinners and always feel like it's a welcoming place.Their pizzas are pan and can be customized the way you want it. Salads are generally well seasoned and sizeable for 1-2 people, depending on your appetite. They have a few wines and beers available if that's of interest. All to finish off with affordable prices and a friendly atmosphere.Hope to come by again soon!“

“A great find on the way home from hockey. Great service, great pub food with a Brazilian steakhouse slant, and cold delicious beer. Bartender took care of my party and could not have been more accommodating. We were impressed with quality of food and extent of menu. Interior could use a splash of paint or update- but everything else is working well!“

“This place would be fine for lunch but I wouldn't recommend for dinner. Bright lightening and they close early 8 o'clock. Service was very good. The salad was good, crab bisque was just okay and sandwich was just ok. Avocado was missing from sandwich and toast was hard must have been sitting. We found the wine was very expensive. You could buy a bottle of the wine we ordered for the price of what we paid for a glass.“

“Discovered this gem of a restaurant tonight and thoroughly enjoyed everything we had, minus an odd dessert. The menu is eclectic, with an emphasis on Caribbean cuisine with French accents. We had the j*** chicken and the pork chops. Both were moist, tender, with fabulous sauces and excellent accompaniments. The dessert sounded great but turned out to be a peeled apple doused with creme anglais and coconut topping. Looking forward to trying brunch next.“

“Fresh seafood, relaxed atmosphere with attentive service.Kid-friendliness: Great option for those dining with young kids. We asked for a highchair in ourreservation and not only was it set up at our table ahead of time they had laid out a kids menu and crayons.“

“I frequently go to the Tavern for lunch. The food and service are always outstanding. My favorite sandwich is the blackened chicken. It has a nice bite to it. It's a quaint tavern. Very clean. I want to commend the owner and his staff on how professional they were yesterday with some patrons who could not control their kids. The moms were too busy drinking their wine to pay attention to the kids. The owner approached the table and asked the kids very politely to please sit down as they were very load and disruptive to those nearby. He even offered to move us as we were sitting right next them. When the women left they had their kids bang on the windows and stood by laughing. I work in the restaurant business myself and I was very impressed with the owner and staff as they tried their best to make our experience at the tavern the best that it could be under the circumstances. Thank you for another wonderful lunch!!!“

“Great service with great servers, food was pretty awesome and drinks were great. The best thing was the atmosphere, the decor and mood was very asthetic and it would be great for dates or just hanging outKid-friendliness: Probably not the best place for kids under 11, it would ruin the vibe for others“

“I love eating here so so so so much! The staff are lovely and the food is unlike any other restaurant I’ve been to. My personal favs are the whole fish with green and red peppers (F13) and the Sichaun cold noodles (CA04). Highly recommend to check it out - there’s also so much variety on the menu so there’s something for everyone!“

“We had a salad that was just ok. It was over dressed and had half brussels sprouts tossed in which were tough to eat. The salad felt like a "job to get done". The calamari was great, not chewy and came with good flavors. The rest of the meal was average. They did not have any sparkling water, which we have never run into anywhere. They ran out. Desert was the chocolate chip cookie that was just OK. We will try this place again when we are in town. The server and other staff were fast and perfect overall.“

“We love condessa! For take out or dine in - the food is always so delicious. The grilled fish tacos, tampinquenas, and Chile en nogada are favorites! The staff is so friendly and welcoming (and great with kids!) don't forget to order the churros!“

“Cool atmosphere, waiter was very helpful in recommending things off the menu with it being our first time there. French onion soup and the Cuban steak tip dinner I had were delicious. My girl got the shrimp tacos and loved them. Very good experience we will be back“
