    We stopped in here for dinner on a Saturday night after a Red Sox game. We didn't have a reservation. The hostess greeted us and said they were entirely full but the bar seating was first come first served and that we could sit there so we did. The bartender was friendly. We ordered to martinis and they came quick and were good. We had the arancini as an appetizer which was good. We then shared the chicken sliders and Mac and cheese for dinner. The chicken sliders were great. They are messy, but good, and very sizeable for sliders. The Mac and cheese was only okay. It was a little more runny than thick which was unexpected. We also shared a side of the focaccia toast. It wasn't bad, but I would skip it next time. We had two espresso martinis for dessert which were good as well.

    Large restaurant with very unique and eclectic designs inside. Food was very good but know that the portions are small. The shrimp and grits were enjoyable (slightly salty for me) and the fusilli pasta was delicious. Service was good. We came during brunch but the items we wanted weren't available until dinner so we returned Sunday night. Check the hours because the servers told us they don't open every day.

    Service was friendly but a little slow. Menu was unique. Portions of sides were small/overpriced (~6 asparagus stalks for $9). Chicken sliders were okay but nothing special. Overall: neat venue but likely wouldn't go back (rarely in Boston so definitely not a "must do" when visiting. If I lived here, I'm guessing I'd find other go-to).

    We had a reservation which was a good thing as there was a line when they opened in the morning. Service was decent. The drinks were surprisingly strong. They have a lot of options for drinks. The food was decent. The chicken sliders were okay but nothing to write home about. The tater tots were the best thing on the menu for sure. It's quite dark and can be loud inside. It's good for a group with a reservation but I won't rush back.

    Was in Boston a few weeks ago for a conference and forgot to do a write up ! Owner Jose Santos has an amazing New Orleans inspired restaurant that serves Southern Cuisine . Not sure the of the part of the city it's in maybe Beacon Hill as I'm a New Yorker ! The restaurant was cozy in a lower space of a brownstone building . We ordered tapas and had everything (almost !) on the Tapas menu . They did have full entrees but we were full off the Tapas . There were 4 of us and there was plenty of food . The Louisiana Crawfish Arancini , cast iron baked Brie with homemade potato chips , broccoli , Cajun catfish bites ( which has the most amazing sauce !!), Tuna Tartare and the steak tips were amazing!! The table next to us had the Buttermilk fried chicken which I wanted but after all the tapas we were done ! Dessert was the Beignets that were delish !! I honestly don't remember what we drank because the food was so good ! I'd go back if I'm in Boston . Pack your patience looking for a park because it's like Brooklyn trying to find spots . You can use an app to find the nearest lot to pay and walk . Reservations preferred . I used Open Table .

    We love Boston and typically get up there for a long weekend each year. We almost always stay in the Back Bay Area because you can walk everywhere. This trip we walked to an afternoon game at Fenway and we wanted to try some new restaurants we haven't tried. The reviews for Buttermilk & Bourbon were pretty good so we gave it a try. I must say it started off a little frosty with the hostess. We arrived a little early and wanted to know if it was possible to be sat. No big deal if it wasn't possible, but mind you the restaurant was half empty. Anyway, she says another reservation is coming and says we can sit at the bar. Long story short, we wind up sitting outside at a table we had to clean off. She was very cold. Now to the food. Our server, Elsa, was wonderful and saved our experience. Elsa explained the menu, which is pretty much tapas, so it's best to order a few things and share. The chicken sliders, chicken thighs, and burger sliders were good. The oysters were phenomenal as was the shrimp cocktail. The honey glazed biscuits were ok. Our drinks were very good (old fashion, lavender porch lemonade). We would definitely recommend and return to try some other items on the menu. Once again, thank you Elsa for turning our experience into a great time!!!

    Ah, if it were just the biscuits. That would be a five star review. But they need so much work in other areas. Just a few standouts in otherwise forgettable food, and the service was pretty pathetic. Seriously, we were eating dessert with all the plates from our meal STILL ON THE TABLE. No one ever bothered to take away a single plate, save the huge oyster platter. We arrived on a Saturday night at 6:00 without a reservation. They kindly told us that we could have a high top (bar seating) if we could be done by 7:30 for another reservation. No sweat, and good to have the heads up. The decor is interesting. Nice ceiling. We got some oysters and the biscuits. The oysters were just so-so, but maybe it was the variety? Not sure, as it was not stated. But those biscuits-wow! Fantastic, as I'm sure you've read. They come with a couple of different butters, but you don't really need them, and since the biscuits are "honey glazed" imo they don't really fit. My daughter got the chicken sliders, which she said were good. My wife had the clam and corn chowder. Just a couple of clams, and a little tough. She did the hush puppies tasted bitter, like the oil had not been changed in a while. Others shared the Viet-Cajun Popcorn Catfish, and the BBQ Shrimp. The catfish was cooked well, but not much on flavor. I could not really get what was the BBQ. It seemed more like a shrimp étouffée with grits. To me the flavor was too heavy with black pepper. We did try the beignets. Just okay. A little oily. The service - ugh. Our waiter we found out was one of the bartenders, and he would disappear for long stretches (and not behind the bar, although he seemed more interested in one customer vs the rest of the room). The other bartender saw us looking around and thankfully came over a few times, but we lacked basic service, like (as I've said) anyone clearing the table or checking on us. Maybe just go and try the biscuits.

    Made reservations but came here an hour early and was seated right away. Ordered sliders, mashed potatoes, fried chicken wings and beignets. For drinks I had a mocktail, early riser. For the three of us including tip it was 111. Beautiful decor. Weird placement of bathroom. Loved the oyster bar. The food was really really good and came out quick. Would come back. Please keep in mind that food is served tapas style so it's shareable for the table.

    Buttermilk & Bourbon was such a fun brunch stop in Boston. We absolutely stuffed ourselves with their honey-glazed biscuits, which come with smoked cinnamon butter and a pimento cheese spread. The biscuits were warm, fluffy, and just sweet enough. Keep in mind that those spreads ARE dangerous!!!! THEY'RE SO GOOD. We also got the Low Country Scramble, which came loaded with andouille sausage, tater tots, pimento queso, and a green tomato relish. It was rich but in a really satisfying way... it's the kind of dish you keep going back to even when you're already full. Just imagine how my stomach felt after this meal. And of course, we ended with the fried beignets a la mode (with vanilla ice cream) -- a must, should you ask. It's a southern brunch spot! Definitely on the heavier side, but worth every bite.

    Food was solid! All yummy ! Went out on a limb for the catfish, and was surprised by how much I liked it! This place has a cool ambiance, feels slightly hole-in-the-wall and eclectic, but still nice! Server was kind and helpful! Recommend! Go here!

    This review is only based on the food, the service was amazing! Super attentive and gave great suggestions. The fries were my favorite, the Cajun sauce was the perfect addition to the rosemary. The soup was very flavorful and good chunks of clam and potatoes. The fried chicken (got the boneless thighs and the sweet & spicy sauce) was okay. I felt like it could have had a better crunch and the sauce was just okay. The broccoli had a nice kick to it and you can definitely taste the char. The steak tips were well cooked, but the chimichurri was very lemony so it was hard to eat the mashed potatoes. Without the sauce, the mashed potatoes were great - very creamy and the onions added a good crunch. The wagyu sliders were yummy, I liked the sweet pickle on it.

    Headed to Boston for a BREZZY BOWL wkend! On Saturday we decided to do some exploring and ended up at Buttermilk and Bourbon around 4pm-ish. A quick search on the socials and BB is highly-rated as a must when visiting, so we decided what the heck. I'm not sure what the hype is because our dinning experience was not memorable. It was definitely a one and done visit for us... A very cute garden level spot with some whimsical yet comfy decor. Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, we elected for the coolness of the AC indoors. We were seated immediately and our server was Sophia, whom was pleasant. We started with some cocktails I opted for an Old Fashion and bestie went with the Upside Down Pineapple we ordered the signature warm Honey Glazed Biscuits. In addition we tried the Crispy Alligator Fries and Buttermilk Fried Chicken Thighs. I also ordered the Spicy P.E.I. Mussels. The Alligator Fries were not impressive. The basic yellow American cheese slices on top were not appealing to me. The buttermilk Fried chicken thighs were crispy and fried nicely however they completely lacked any seasoning. Now the Spicy P.E.I. Mussels, were good on the second attempt. Unfortunately, I had to send the first order back because it contained pork sausage. The biggest standout was the warm Honey Glazed Biscuits. With this place suggested as one of the must try spots, the biscuits are not enough to make BB worth the price tag or the hype. Needless to say we were underwhelmed. Just A Note: There is an additional charge for any extra butters or sauces requested.

    2 FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS

    I tried Buttermilk and Bourbon for the first time before Halloween. Here's my review on... Pictured dishes: - Fried Chicken Sliders: it was okay. The chicken was nicely fried and juicy, but I didn't like how the flavor of the slaw or sauce was too sweet. - Boneless Chicken Thighs: a bit under seasoned but good crisp and juiciness! - Swordfish: this was my favorite, but I couldn't find on the most recent menu as I write this post. Fish was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the sauce and sautéed veggies underneath were a great pair. - Collard Greens: a bit of a smokey flavor and worth a try, although not currently on the online menu either. - Warm Honey Glazed Biscuits: a must get! Quite dense so can half each piece with another person. I loved both the smoked cinnamon butter and pimento cheese spread. Not pictured dishes: - Loaded Fries: not currently on the online menu but it was a dish with alligator tots and French fries. Tasted like a well-seasoned fried chicken popcorn and fries. - Fresh Fried Beignets: doughy on the inside and powdered on the outside, and we got the chocolate dip. Not bad but not comparable to the beignets I have tried from New Orleans!

    Ask the Community - Buttermilk & Bourbon

    Is the outdoor dining in Watertown rainproof?

    No it's not rainproof. While there is a covering my at the top, 3 of the 4 sides (remaining side being that which adjoins the restaurant) of the outdoor seating area will be exposed to the elements.

    Are kids allowed in this restaurant?

    Yes, I saw some kids during one of my visits here before.

    Do they take reservations for Sunday brunch?

    They do!

    When are they opening their 2nd location at Allston?

    They're opening in Watertown at Arsenal Yards, which is next to Allston. According to @Arsenalyards instagram they haven't announced a specific date but they said it'll be opening 2021.

    Do they serve brunch menu on Saturdays?

    I got the "main menu" listed on their site when I went in for Saturday brunch (around 12:30 pm).

    Visiting in the summer from out of town. Can I wear shorts to dinner?

    Yes definitely, assuming they're not gym shorts. It's not overly fancy.

    How long is the wait with no reservations?

    We walked in right before 5 and were seated at bar area and then told If we want a table just ask!

    Kid Friendly and or Baby Friendly?

    I would say that this place is definitely not kid friendly. It has a very mature vibe.

We walked into a warm, energetic space with dim lighting, an open dining room, and a constant buzz that makes it a great choice for a night out with friends or a date. The restaurant has a vibrant, social energy that encourages sharing and exploration, and the open layout adds to the sense of activity without feeling chaotic. Rather than ordering individual entrées, the experience is centered around sharing a variety of dishes, making each visit feel a little different depending on what you choose. The tapas are the highlight of the menu, with plenty of options that encourage trying a little bit of everything. The bacon-wrapped dates are one of the signature dishes, balancing sweet and savory flavors, while the patatas bravas, croquettes, and charcuterie boards are reliable choices to start the meal. If you are looking for something more substantial, the seafood paella and squid ink pasta stand out as excellent main dishes, offering rich flavors and generous portions that are easy to split between two or more people. The olive oil cake is also worth saving room for if you want to end the meal with dessert, and the overall progression of the meal works well with the tapas format. The drink menu is just as impressive as the food. Wine is the main focus, with an extensive list featuring Spanish and international selections, but the sangria and cocktails are equally popular. It is the kind of place where you can easily spend a couple of hours sharing plates while working your way through a few different drinks, and the beverage program is thoughtfully curated to match the style of the food. Service is one of the restaurant's strongest points. The staff are knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list, and dishes arrive steadily throughout the meal instead of all at once, creating a relaxed dining pace. The pacing allowed us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed, and the team checked in at the right moments without hovering. The restaurant is consistently busy, especially on weekends, so reservations are highly recommended. Even with a reservation, there can occasionally be a short wait, and the lively atmosphere means the dining room can get quite loud during peak hours. The energy of the room is part of what makes the experience work, but it is worth keeping in mind if you are looking for a quieter dinner. Barcelona Wine Bar is one of the best places in Boston for Spanish-inspired tapas and wine. The combination of flavorful shareable dishes, a well-curated drink menu, attentive service, and vibrant atmosphere makes it an easy choice for group dinners, celebrations, or date nights. It offers a meal that feels both communal and polished, with a setting that encourages slowing down and enjoying the evening. Just be prepared for the energetic environment and plan ahead if you are visiting during the busiest times.

The sangria is so refreshing with fresh fruit tasting like they just picked it themselves. The lovely bartender, Astrit, informed me the grapes are Grenache from Spain , which have a dryer, robust flavor compared to the sweeter red sangrias that make you regret your decisions the next morning and tastes better in my opinion. I'm usually more of a beer guy but this slaps! I've also had the white before and that also hits the Richter scale. Last but surely not least, the garlic chicken (pollo al Ajillo) is the best chicken I've ever had, hand to God. Spiced with everything nice and delicious oil and garlic that you deserve. Even on a first date, you'll be kissed after giving this to your significant other. This fine establishment is one of my favorites and I always am satisfied, leaving with a full belly. I hope the same for you!

The piri piri chicken was generous, with a large serving of fries and four pieces of chicken. I loved the garlic aioli with both the chicken and the fries. The chicken was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly, where it was moist and tender. I loved the pork chop dish as well -- the sunchokes were a tasty addition to the pork!

The pork cheek was incredibly tender and very filling. Not every dish was a hit, though. The crab fried rice was a bit disappointing. It was essentially regular fried rice with just a few pieces of crab sprinkled on top, so it didn't feel worth ordering. The crab curry was also a letdown. If you do order it, I'd recommend having it with rice instead of the rice noodles, as I think that would make it more enjoyable. Overall, the quality of the food and the excellent service made for a very enjoyable meal, and I'd happily come back to try more dishes.

    Elegant and inviting! Great space with good food and drinks!! We came here for the first time for a…read moreprivate party brunch for a colleague's farewell. The decor is industrial with the stone, metal and wood, earth tones, very modern and yet feels cozy and warm with the combination of the colors, lighting and art. Great atmosphere for an elegant and elevated experience. We had the side room space which is really great for having a small to medium sized gathering of easily up to 50 people or so. There's ample seating at round tables and also a couple high tables to stand at. A long bar where all the food is served buffet style. There are restrooms just down the hall too so very convenient. There's cool wall art murals which make for a great backdrop and very artsy!! The food was really good too - charcuterie meats, cheese, fruit, meatballs, olives, eggplant caponata, hummus and crackers. The staff were friendly and were there to help with any questions and were happy to take our photos too. Overall a great time was had by all!

    Barcelona was okay. It's a fun atmosphere with friends and I recommend coming here as a larger…read moregroup so you can try out more things from the tapas menu. Food-wise, none of the dishes we got particularly wowed me (the sauces that came with each dish were better than the actual food) but I'd come back to try other things from the very extensive list. We got: 1. Patatas bravas: The best thing we got, though we should have eaten this when it was still hot and crispy. After sitting out for a while, it became a mushy mess with the sauce. 2. Spiced meatballs: Very small size for the meatball and not much spice (like less than a bite) but the sauce was excellent. 3. Jamon croquettes: Not bad but the filling was pretty gluey in texture. Definitely need to eat with the accompanying sauce. I ended up dunking it in the sauce that came with the meatballs. 4. Grilled peaches: Intrigued by this summer offering but I'd say skip. For $7, we got five very small slices of peach in an indistinguishable, vaguely sugary/burnt sauce. If you have a grill and a peach, you can definitely make a much better version of this for far cheaper. 5. Shrimp in garlic sauce: Fell flat. The shrimp were small and extremely overcooked. The only saving grace of this dish was the scallion/garlic oil that we used to dip the extra bread in. Food came out very fast and our waitress came by often to check on us and see if we needed. Lots of parking options nearby (including free 2-hour options one block over) so if you're debating which location of Barcelona to go to, the parking alone could weigh in favor of this one.
