If you are in need of a dive bar in East Boston, this one fits the bill. We were staying with friends who live near Barney's. Had to try it. It is a dive bar! I did not care for their empanadas. Chicken wings were ok. Lots of TV screens with live soccer. A classic dive bar. read more

Don't go here. Refused us service because of my girlfriend's disability from 2 brain surgeries. We were the only people in the bar. At the end of the day these lazy fuckers just didn't want to get off their asses and do any work, typical. Zero stars and would never give an establishment like this any of my money. Do better read more

Went to try this spot, was closed. Was confronted by 2 guys in the parking lot asking what are you doing? I asked are they closed? Just checking it out. "Yes, consider it checked out" From their website "Sunday 12:00pm-1:30am" no need t9 be so rude and gross. The parking lost was a disaster, the spot was supposed to be ppen, it was filthy. Avoid this dump. read more

Food & service is always a 10/10!!! if you're looking for a place with good food, drinks & music, look no further. The owners are amazing and take good care of their customers.

OK, where do we start. Rino's Place, my favorite Italian spot in the city, does not have a bar and always has a wait, forcing the alcoholics among us to seek alternative accommodation in the immediate vicinity while we wait to get called back to Rino's with a ready table. Barney's is right around the corner from Rino's and I (literally) stumbled into the place 2 years ago thinking Barney was an Irishman and there would be Guinness and brogues aplenty, after all, Eastie used to have an Irish and Italian immigrant population....... BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!! You open up the front door with a slight sense of hesitation since it looks like there have been patched bullet holes in the door frame, and instead of Danny Boy with a side of black and white pudding you get, SALSA --SALSA-- SALSA, not the dip, the MUSIC, and LOUD at that. Apparently, Barney has 'left the premises' for quite some time now. It was like a sceen from the movie, Blast from the Past, when Moms Ice Cream store becomes a biker bar, this place is a MUST SEE! First of all, soccer on all the TV, thats a given, if you are not latin, you will be the only ones there, but everyone is very, very cool, so no worries, but ladies, do take a date. there is a wood charcoal grill, aka Santarpios, behind the bar so the place has a smokey atmosphere, but the Waitresses are the real show here.... 6 inch heels, short skirts, and more decollete than a St. Pauli Girl, LATIN STYLE, which translates to bright colors in all the right places. Now THESE ARE REALLY JUST WAITRESSES, this is a bar and grill, ( the sign says so outside), not a men's club, there is a pool table in the back and patrons seem to dance everywhere, especially around the bar, but the waitresses all carry WADS of CASH in one hand to take care of the drink orders as soon as they are delivered, ( they have no pockets was the only explanation I could think of, poor girls) so you can only imagine what the place looks like to the uninitiated first time patron, or to my wife the first time I took her, lets just say I had some initial explaining to do. But hey, the place is a blast, PLEASE someone try the food, I will give it a shot myself next week, but the local wildlife is the main attraction here, so if you are waiting 2 hours to sit down at Rino's, and want a little pre-dinner show, check out Barney's How many other restaurants/clubs change owners, change patrons, change menus, change EVERYTHING, but keep the name and original sign-age? Only in Eastie! God Bless read more

Barneys Grill - Barney ain't here no more - Colombian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The wings are unparalleled in East Boston. The Mai Tais are on point. The owner is present and personable. A 10/10 recommended neighborhood joint. read more

Ok I ordered from here 1st time! Had to post review! The ribeye was a little thin but they made up for it in size and how good it was grilled. The fries were terrific! I'm very lucky in this area and usually don't eat fries bin delivery but the size and Taste were so good I almost filled up b4 the steak! The absolute best thing was This phenomenal side sauce they gave!! I never tasted any sauce soon good!! It was unbelievable!! I don't know what they call it, but I hope you get it too.. it made the whole meal awesome. Could if rounded it off with some steamed broccoli, next time I know any vege will be 2 x as good with that sauce, a one of a kind treasure!! read more

Where to start.... This place is a landmark. It has been around since the 1920's I believe and the name has remained untouched as it's passed from owner to owner. You can still see the old finishes in the wood in the bar. Very rugged yet cool. The bar itself isn't a place to bring your special little cocktail order to, it's definitely more of a sit back and enjoy a beer with some friends or even by yourself. Not a place to pick up a girl, more like a hang out with the guys type. The owners name is KC. He's a really nice fellow from Colombia. He has so many stories to tell and loves watching soccer, hockey, football, and baseball, so if you're worried about missing the game don't fret. If they don't have it playing just ask and he will gladly put it on some of the screens for you. Beers are reasonably priced and food is a steal. Nice big steak with fries for $13! They cook it over a fire pit which gives it amazing flavor and keeps it juicy. Overall like the atmosphere of the place, and I'm a girl. Hope this helps for anyone looking to grab a bud or two while you're in town. read more

So just to update, and clarify some things in my older review. The shot and beer (aguardiente and Modelo michelada) *was* $7, and it still is. They have someone there daily grilling up food, not just on the weekends. The wings and fries combo is pretty choice. read more

Barney's is not closed. I know because when I went there yesterday the front (bullet proof) door was open thereby letting the stench out. So, in I go. There's one guy doing the elephant at the bar who kindly came to and was able to translate my beer order to the tween behind the bar whose function was unknown to me. I bought the linguist one, left a sawbuck on the bar and was done. Nobody seemed to notice. Good times! Off to Rino's for the marathon wait. It was worth it. read more
