8 Best Cocktail Bars near Wakefield

“After a long time away from Phil’s Restaurant, the owner immediately recognized my elderly brother and graciously came over to greet us. It felt so nice that he took time to interact with us and remembered back when my brother was a regular customer. The owner truly made us feel special. As always, the food was delicious. Next time we visit from Texas, we will definitely be coming back here to dine. Thanks for your kindness and hospitality. -Danny’s Brother Frank“

“Went to the Coast Guard House for my daughter's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Our server Julie made us feel comfortable like family. She was very attentive taking care of every need we might have. The food was great. I will definitely be back. Hope I get Julie for a server again.“

“An absolutely delightful local gem! We're so happy that Purslane has now graced Main St. for more than a year. I believe we have tried everything on the menu, as well as some of the delicious beverages. They often have specials which are always just that... quite a special treat! Favorites include the local seafood options, salads, and, of course, the butterhead sandwiches. A very welcome addition to Wakefield and we look forward to frequenting them for years to come.“

“We stopped by this place while we were visiting Rhode Island and so glad we did. They have parking on property and we were seated promptly as soon as we walked in. They have plenty of gluten free options to course from and are flexible in switch out things to make a dish gluten free. My husband got the salmon crab cake duet and I got the shortrib, both were delicious. The ambience is casual and matching the name is a cute coastal cabin indeed. I got a mango margarita and my only complaint is that it was too sweet for my liking so if you like sweet drinks this is a great choice .Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.“

“Tasty Thai takeout! I'd like to eat there next time since the ambiance was so nice. The beef teriyaki and sticky rice were super flavorful and nicely done. The soup was classic and hot, and my favorite item was the fried pork gyoza which was crispy and the dipping sauce was perfect with it. I'd recommend this place to anybody looking for Thai food in the area.“

“A very pleasant surprise find after a tulip picking outing in Exeter. The food was nuanced and flavourful. We had the shaved veg salad and pork nachos for appetizers. Tasty dressings and great variety of textures and flavors. The Thai style fried rice was beautifully seasoned. You knew from the mound of perfectly crispy fried basil on top that the chef cared about serving delicious food that hits all the right notes. The texture of the beef rib was soft and juicy. The black bean burger was good and the fish and chips were huge and well cooked. The key lime pie and lava cake were not overly sweet and flavorful. Prices were a bit higher than I expected for being outside a city but you could easily pay the same prices for mediocre or worse food in Boston or Providence. Additionally, we loved all the Jamaican music. Great random find!“

“We had a welcome party at the sons of liberty brewery for our wedding weekend. This brewery surpassed our expectations. We reserved one of their event rooms and were amazed by the space. The space included a large bar as well as many places to sit, stand, and even play pool. All of our guests told us how amazing of a time they had here. The drinks were delicious and the service was top notch. The owner also made us feel so welcome and taken care of. We have endless amazing things to say about this place. Make sure to give it a visit!!“

“Have looked forward to returning to Two Ten Oyster Bar & Grill since last summer. Its roughly 1.5 hours away with no traffic so that says a lot about the experience and expectations. Last evening was that right time to venture there with my family. The food generally met high expectations with the exception of the fish tacos. The taco contents were spot on but the soft shells arrived broken up and totally fell apart when picked up. These were served untoasted and weren't really fresh so being dry they left a lot to be desired. When I mentioned this to the server the response was "apparently the kitchen doesn't toast them anymore" and that was that. You can do better than that and expected a different response. I'm a huge fan and everything else ordered didn't disappoint.“
