16 Best Cocktail Bars near North Reading

“We had a group of six on a late Sunday afternoon. The waitress was outstanding. We couldn't have been happier with the service. The food was mixed. My wife ordered chicken pot pie. It was HORRIBLE! it was basically a bowl of chicken soup with a piece of puff pastry floating on top. The rest of the food was very good.“

“There was my life before this meal, and my life after this meal. This is some of the best food I have had in the Boston area. Phenomenal and experiential, everything was so unique in ingredients and presentation yet still 10/10 on flavor. The service was also phenomenal - every single person we came into contact with (especially Alex, our host, and Aaron, our server) was funny, charming, friendly, and anticipatory. You can tell this restaurant values quality on all fronts, and our experience was one we will not be forgetting for a while!“

“I rarely leave reviews, but felt I needed to for our first experience at Ithaki. We dined yesterday, which was Greek Easter. It was also my birthday, so no cooking! lol Made a reservation for 4, but at the last minute, my 92 year old mother felt up to joining us - she hasn't been interested in going out much lately, so we spent the morning with her. We were thrilled, and decided to chance it, hoping they could add a fifth to our reservation. It was crazy busy, but the staff really worked hard to accommodate us, and did so in a very timely manner. We were most grateful. The decor is beautiful, the service was impeccable, and the food was superb, even on this very busy day. They even included red eggs! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back soon.“

“The food was well presented and very very tasty. This was my sixth visit and it is always been superlative. Bread is delicious. Entrees served with little waiting. Two negatives however: music from the speaker near our corner table was much too loud, making it difficult to converse. Wait staff visits table frequently to pick up dishes, making our mealtime and conversation stressed.“

“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.“

“This past Saturday, we went to the Drag brunch at Ciao. It was our first time at this restaurant and it certainly did not disappoint! The restaurant has friendly staff who are kind and very attentive. We also met one of the owners who is so nice and wants to make sure all customers are enjoying themselves. The food was delicious and the cocktails were a true craft. They are absolutely beautiful and taste delicious too. We had the banana soufflé, tiramisu pancakes, and fico pizza. We had tried the ooooo bae and mango dragon drinks. We cannot wait to come back!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The service was superb! Very professional and attentive. The food was delicious, prepared perfectly, we were a party of 3 all of us got beef and it was perfect. 2 of us shared the porterhouse, flavor was outstanding. The sides were just as delicious. Topped off with a bottle of Caymus it was a perfect dining experience. I would highly recommend La Fina.“

“This place never disappoints - the food is delicious and the drinks are amazing (Melrose location--Salem is just ok, to me)! This is my second review, and it has gotten better. I kept it simple and ordered the tuna "nachos", they're so delicious with the wasabi aioli and the NE Haddock Dinner. I had no complaints. If you like a good meal,--it isn't cheap (in quality and price)--and you're in the mood for seafood, then head over to Turner's!! ...in Melrose.“

“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.“

“Stopped in to pick up some soup to go. I had to wait 30 minutes for it to be made. My mother said it was delicious when I brought it to her. But my concern was the price. $16 for a bowl of soup. Mind you it was in a large quart size container we but it was chicken soup. Pretty pricey.“

“We had a really nice lunch at Bazille yesterday. its convenient, classy, quiet, and the food was very good. Maybe even excellent--the French onion soup and the crab bisque were particular standouts, as was the artichoke spinach dip. The Little Gem salad was actually made with romaine, but not a big deal. Overall, we'd definitely go back!“

“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!“

“So glad we found this hidden gem!! There is a huge margarita menu and they were out of this world. The presentation of the food was so fun and everything we had (fish tacos, pork tacos, enchiladas, kid’s quesadilla) was delicious. The service and atmosphere were also great. I cannot say enough good things about this yummy place!“

“3.5*. Got takeout. Solid burger, cooked perfectly medium rare. I love that they had a gluten free bun, but it wasn't a very good one. Solid ramen fries, though I'm not a big ramen fry person. The sweet potato fries were decent, but very wet and limp. I'll give a little leeway on them bc this was delivery. I tried a taste of a poke bowl and it was good as well.“
