    Wow, this Cocktail Bar is one of a kind! My colleague and I held a work happy hour event here in October and the entire staff did such a great job of catering to our needs and ensuring we always had a tasty drink in our hand! :) Upon stepping foot inside of this place, you can feel the unique vibe - it's just really fun and yet has a quirky chemist-like feel to it with the tile around the bar area and the decor arranged inside. Although it's not an incredibly large space it is set up really cool with pockets of seating throughout. There's also even a DJ booth in the corner of this place which they have live DJ music selection nights!! The main thing that blew me away with the Chemist Cocktail Bar was the "All Smoke, No Fire" Smoke-Infused Bourbon. Holy smokes was that one smooth drink!! I have yet to find a bar that can make a drink like that near me. So whenever I visit Boston next you can be sure to find me at this bar with one of those smoke-infused bourbons - yum!!

    The silent spritz and Paloma-loma
    Drashti T.

    When we first walked in, they had great music and a very fun atmosphere. We wanted to come here for drinks and dinner but kitchen closed at 8 and we came at 8. I got the silent spritz and it was delicious. It was pretty sweet but that's how I like my drinks. I tried the Paloma-loma and it was very strong but stilled tasted good. Overall a good place for a girls night out

    The Improbable Flip
    Florence K.

    This place feels like a dive bar meet cocktail pace. There was a dj in the back and before a certain time, the bartender will come by and take your order. I got the improbably flip which was a bit too strong for me and not exactly to my liking. However, I would come back to try the other drinks!

    Skewers and soft pretzels

    Stopped in for dinner the other night. Had a carlsberg beer at the bar, got some soft pretzels to start which came with cheese and mustard and for the main dish got the chicken skewers with rice and veggies. It was delicious. Really cool vibe as well

    Ambiance is a mix between sports bar and cocktail lounge. Food was pretty good. I got the fish and chips and It only came with one piece of fish. I ordered chimichurri sauce (which was listed with another dish) and they gave me it complementary which was nice. The server was prompt and nice. Prices were standard for the area.

    Pornstar cocktail

    Really good bar for drinks, had a live dj playing some good beats. Drinks were good not watered down

    The Chemist is Boston's best hidden gem! It's quickly become my crew's go to place. Right by South Station in FiDi, so super easy to hit up after work (or for your lunch break). Well priced, strong drinks and mouthwatering food. Pro tip - the truffle fry + espresso martini combo is elite! The best part though is the immaculate energy with live DJs most nights. The music matches the lounge atmosphere and after a few drinks you might find yourself on the dance floor with friends (speaking from experience). The Chemist is easily an up and coming hot spot. Grab your squad and check it out before it gets too crazy popular. See you there!

    New bar in FiDi! Beautifully decorated with comfortable seating. Love all the couches to make it comfortable to talk to people. Staff was super helpful walking through the menu and checking up on us. Drinks were nice and well priced for the area! Definitely a great after work spot. Looking forward to coming back and trying more cocktails and some food- maybe even staying for the DJ

Once you get in, there's a small lounge area on the left and then a larger lounge area straight ahead where the bar is. They have small tables with couches and local artwork ond display. For their drinks, their mixed drinks are average, but they only had 3 beers on draft which was a disappointment. They do serve some bar food and snacks, but like the drinks they're overpriced. I've been here twice and there's usually a wait for the rooftop. Once on a Saturday I was quoted up to a 3 hour wait that was actually 45 minutes and on a Sunday it was a 15 minute wait. I put my name down and got a friendly text when my turn was up. The view is pretty good, but not the best since it's not by the water so it's mostly looking at the city and large apartment complexes. The rooftop is small with 4-5 tables, a TV, and some seats. It seems like they allow around 40 people in at a time. Overall, this a cool place to hang out with friends this summer!

I like how it is set up like a lounge, where they have couches available for big and small groups. You can also just sit at the bar to grab a drink. There are also tables on the terrace, but it is not always open during the winter months. When the door is unlocked, it is worth checking out the view for a couple of minutes. The bartenders can be a bit hit-and-miss, depending on the night. I wouldn't take that personally. Just order your drink and focus on your company. They will come around like 15 minutes before closing and asking you to close your tabs. Supposedly their lobby bar stays open later than 11 PM, but my friends and I tried going then got turned away by the lobby bar as well. I have always had GIN CRAZE $14 (Beefeater gin, lemon, simple, raspberry puree). It is pretty solid.

It is super well-priced at $15/person for 1.5 hours of gameplay which is more than enough for 2 people. They have a bunch of interactive dart games, including classic, and we were able to play all of them multiple times. Additionally, they have Rookie/Normal/Pro lines on the ground so you can choose where to stand and you don't have to be a professional dart player by any means to play these games. The staff is also super friendly. The only concern I had was that the staff wasn't super attentive to our dart table, so despite us clicking the request service button a few times, my girlfriend had to head to the bar to get our drinks and start a tab. My girlfriend's drink was not good either... it was a vodka mixed drink with a salt rim and it was just too salty. It would've been much better with a sugar rim I think. Other than that though, it was an amazing time and I'd highly recommend Flight Club for a date night, outing with friends, or corporate event!

The atmosphere was on point, and the music selection only made the experience better. Every song fit the vibe perfectly and added to that cool, hidden-gem feel. It happened to be trivia night, so people were already lining up near the screen getting ready to compete. We had only flown into the city a few hours earlier, so we opted to sit in the other room for a quieter evening. Not a complaint at all. The energy was fun to watch, but we were definitely in relaxation mode after traveling. There was also a conference happening at a nearby hotel, so the place filled up quickly. Even with the crowd, the bartender taking care of us remained incredibly attentive, checking in often and never making us feel forgotten. Excellent service in a busy room always stands out. We ordered three cocktails and every one was delicious. The Coconut Confidential was creamy and refreshing, basically a liquid piña colada. The Velvet Elvis packed a punch with the Jack Daniel's and Chambord. My favorite of the night was the Sassy Cactus Sip. The prickly pear flavor was fantastic and had me wishing I ordered a second. For food we shared the garlic broccoli, pretzel bites with cheese, and the artichoke dip with chips. Unexpectedly, the real MVP was dipping the broccoli into the artichoke dip. It absolutely hit the spot.

My favorite item in the bowl was the horiatiki salsa, which was finely diced tomatoes, cucumber, and onion - it was really excellent and showcased how great knife skills can elevate a dish! Unfortunately, the other items were a bit underwhelming. The chicken skewer and falafel patty were enjoyable, but everything was rather dry, even with the slaw and hummus. We ordered an extra side of tzatziki, which helped a little, but the bowls would really benefit from a sauce, such as tahini or an olive oil drizzle. It's a lovely space and probably a great spot to share some drinks and apps for lunch or after work.

A few furnishings hint at cost-cutting, but nothing a casual diner would notice. Negroni: well-balanced, slightly too Campari-forward. They should serve with an orange peel, not a slice. It's an orange-themed Negroni. The peel carries the aromatics, the slice doesn't near as much. Bronzino: outstanding. Precise seasoning, potatoes cooked beautifully and but served slightly chill. Fish stayed the centerpiece and was truthfully one of the better restaurant whole fish I have had. Pacing was the issue: My appetizer, a $23 lebneh, arrived 10-15 minutes after my entrée, even though I'd asked to cancel it once the entrée came out. The server said it was due to the kitchen waiting on the bread. On a $140 bill for three items, a cold dip has no business trailing the main course and a restaurant of that scale should either consult the guest or hold on firing the entrée. Would return for the food. Service needs to fix its timing and customer communications.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but I'm very disappointed by the complete lack of communication…read more I had a reservation that I canceled due to an unexpected work commitment. Shortly afterward, I learned the meeting had been canceled and immediately contacted the restaurant to reinstate my reservation. Unfortunately, the table had already been given to another party. While I understand and respect cancellation policies, the fee was $40 per person, so I felt my situation warranted at least a review. When I called the restaurant, I was told that the cancellation fee could be waived, but that I needed to submit my request by email for management to review. I did exactly as instructed and sent my first email on May 29. Since then, I have followed up multiple times (on June 4, June 10, and again later) and, nearly a month later, I have still not received any acknowledgment or response. I was not expecting a guaranteed refund--only the courtesy of a response. Whether the answer is yes or no, customers deserve timely communication, especially when a significant cancellation fee is involved and they have followed the process the restaurant requested. The lack of communication has been far more frustrating than the fee itself and has left me with a very poor impression of the restaurant's customer service.
