Love this place! I love speakeasy's and out of all the speakeasy's I've been to in Boston, this probably gives me the best and most accurate speakeasy vibes. It's quiet and quaint. The ambiance and lighting had me impressed right when I walked through the door. Love all the lamps and the decorations can keep you occupied and distracted from the small talk. Now getting to the cocktails as this is why we are here, I ordered the tuxedo connection and the radio silence, both very good. If you like a bolder more rich tasting drink the radio silence did for me. I also ordered the shrimp and those were some pretty damn tasty shrimp. Before I forget service was also great! The waiters were attentive and great to chat with personality. Will definitely be returning! read more

Jerks about getting you out within 90 minutes no matter how much you order. We had multiple drinks and asked for some water which they were annoyed with. read more

First of all this place is SO HARD TO FIND because it's in a dark alley but after we did a little googling we were in business. The inside is so cute and cozy and such great speakeasy vibes. We tried 4 different drinks and they were all so well crafted and unique. I think our favorite was the tuxedo connection just because it was a flavor journey with the butter pecan ice cream and then the mushroom. So unique!! read more

Great speakeasy in a back alley where you need to call the phone number at the door to get in. I would only suggest a group of 4 max as it is small. A group of 3 of us went on a Friday night around 7:30pm and we were able to get in immediately, however the couple before us were told they had an hour wait. Come early on a weekend, unless you don't mind the wait. The hostess will take down your number and contact you when there is a table available. Cocktails are $16. I got the electric word, which I recommend. I would recommend the Stiletto if you want something light and very fruity/sweet. I like how their menu also has a sentence under each drink, as stiletto said "let them eat cake". Each page has a category of how strong the drinks are. Service was great. They share a bathroom with the restaurant. read more

I highly recommend this speakeasy! If you can find it of course! My friend & I spent a good amount of time walking aimlessly looking for this spot but thanks to the landmarks photographed on Yelp, we were able to find it! Small, intimate spot. Several tables & a couple of seats at the bar. Great selection of cocktails. They were all super tasty, strong, & unique. read more

I've been to Offsuit many times, and it's somewhere that I'm always sure to bring friends who are visiting from out of town. Are they slightly disturbed at first by the sketchy alley I take them down? Yes. But then they see the door magically open and we're whisked away into the den of libations. The menu is structured in general categories, based on the strength of the spirit (i.e. do you want a sipper or something that will go down quickly). I find this is a helpful organizational pattern. The focus here is definitely on unique cocktails and less on the food, although they do have a relatively small food menu and the chicken wings are tantalizing. There is also the burger if you're looking for something a little heavier. I appreciate that the bartenders are just as happy to make something on the menu as they are to make a custom creation suited to my tastes--I just love the latter! I won't comment on the specific cocktails because the flavor profiles are such that you just have to try them. I will say the Mountain Dew-esque one is not my favorite, but overall, I have been more than pleased with the quality of the drinks here. It doesn't hurt that there is always some combo of hip-hop and top 40 bumping in the background, and I'm always seated at the tables in the back left corner, which is my favorite little spot. I haven't written a review for Offsuit until now only because it has felt like a little secret. But the world deserves to know--come by! You'll be glad you did. read more

Some of the coolest and weirdest drinks i've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Will definitely be back!

What a cool speakeasy experience! Intimate spot with limited seating and amazing drinks! Swung by on a Wed night and there was a 45 min wait but it was so worth it. Drinks were all incredible and they even came up with off menu items. Their food menu was also impressive: the oysters, shrimp, shishito peppers were all delicious. Service was very friendly and attentive. This is a must try! read more

My friend and I literally stumbled upon this cocktail speakeasy. After getting Ramen at a nearby spot in Chinatown, we decided we wanted to find somewhere to get drinks. After a quick search on line, we came upon the alley and saw a few people entering and leaving and you, this is where we were supposed to be. After looking on the website, we saw the number to call. For the two of us on a Friday night the weight was about 30 minutes and the hostess took our name down and walked us through to get to sit at the nearby restaurant while we waited. Once inside we got a text shortly after saying that there was standing room available. Taking a look at the menu there were a lot of different options of craft cocktails, that were very unique. I love that the QR code took you to an extensive menu, including beer and wine and nonalcoholic options and, spirit forward, more refreshing drinks. We ordered the espresso martini like drink and I got the mint drink which was super refreshing. The decor was interesting. It was like a mashup between a record store/prohibition vibe. We both liked our drinks. This would be a cool date spot for friends, a small group or a date. the drink prices weren't too outrageous for a speakeasy in the city. The treat we received when signing the bill were cute, but they weren't edible so it was more for the vibe lol read more

I was really excited about the exclusivity and vibe of this speakeasy. The drinks didn't have the elevated flavor or strength that one would expect. The people next to me enjoyed the expresso drink. The service was not incredibly friendly. The food portion was skimpy, white overpriced. I paid about $20 for 7 shrimp. They were however fresh. The burger was about $20 as well. It's slightly bigger than a JR. Whopper. I hear that it was good but not worth $20. The ambience is nice. I had a better experience at Drink. Both need reservations for the most part. read more

Vibes are immaculate, drinks are very unique, feels like a true speakeasy! Servers were attentive and friendly. 10/10!

Came here with a friend for a girls night out, and we loved it! We are both big fans of speakeasies, and this one felt more neighborhood like and less like a tourist attraction. I'm not a huge drinker, but ended up getting two drinks because Ioved my first drink so much! Here's what I ordered: Espresso fucking martini- this was wonderful! I'm picky about espresso martinis- I've definitely ordered ones that I've not enjoyed, and this is the best one I've had in Boston! Highly recommend Downpour- I was really excited about this one- it had matcha coconut cream, pineapple, cucumber, and toasted sesame. The flavor was good but it was served over lots of ice (so I didn't feel like I actually had a lot of drink). I would have loved if it were blended like a pina colada. Overall a fun speakeasy in Boston to check out read more

Great drinks and awesome vibe. Really has a speakeasy feel? Because it is. Check it out.

Great ambiance. To get in you have to find the back door in the alleyway and give them a call. The drinks are indeed very good. Haven't tried their food yet but we will be back another time. Everyone there is pretty chill. I can just go there, grab a drink, and vibe with their good music selection. A small Boston gem! read more

We had the best time at this speakeasy! Great ambiance with great music and cool vibes. I talk about the restaurant lighting in almost every review, but I think decor and general ~feel~ of a space is so important for a speakeasy/ intimate drinking setting and Offsuit nailed it. It's warm, cozy, and romantic while still being cheeky and fun. I even found some little friends to sit on our table, and a few of the staff commented on it which I found really cute. I walked in knowing what I wanted to order, and ordered it 3 more times lol! I highly recommend the Downpour if you go when it's available (I also really appreciate that the menu rotates, such a nice touch). It's a matcha and rum cocktail that is not too sweet and I'm still daydreaming about. My boyfriend did the opposite and jumped all over the menu and wanted to try everything! The only drink of his I didn't love was the clickbait because it kind of tasted like how a tire smells but that could be because my drink was so much sweeter lol. Even though I didn't love that drink, I still thought it was a really well made cocktail. All of the drinks we tried were so good, honestly you can't go wrong here, the menu is curated perfectly and you can always ask for suggestions! Cocktails are $16 each which is so reasonable given the environment you enjoy them in and how well made they are. I recommend a reservation, as a couple who showed up at the same time as us was told there would be a 2 hour wait! However we did come here around 9:30pm on a Friday night, so if you don't have a res, I would recommend a non-weekend or coming earlier. Staff was so nice and time just flew by as we sat and chatted. Cannot recommend this place enough! (If you can find it! :) ) read more

Really loved it here. Great drinks and super cool speakeasy vibe. I'm sure we will be back next time we are in town.

If you're looking for a speakeasy type of night, you must go find Offsuit. (Hint: the entry is down an alley). Everything is so well done, so much attention to detail from the decor, overall vibe, the menus and of course food and drinks. Offsuit was unforgettable, you must go check it out. read more

Hard to find(as it should!!) Great ambient. Great staff. Drinks were very tasty and reasonably priced. Chicken nuggets were amazing. Cookies and milk is delicious, the milk is strong!!! Highly recommended for a date night. read more

A hidden speakeasy around Chinatown. 3.5 to be accurate. The drinks were actually around average. Some might be a little above average while some are "too creative". I personally recommend the bourbon milk with cookies and radio silence. The steak tartare was salty, but I like it this way since the saltiness makes people want to drink more. They have a 90min limit, so be aware of it. I came first to try the drinks and then decided to invite my girl to try the drinks here. Although I "shook the bartender's hand" and he gladly took it, I and my girl were still kicked out after 1 more drink. Maybe he didn't understand it or he thought one shake wasn't enough. LOL. read more

This was such a cozy speakeasy with so many delicious cocktails! It was our first stop in Boston, and it was an excellent welcome to the city. I loved the mixed nuts and shishitos, and my boyfriend was so impressed with his smash burger that he almost ordered another one! Our server took very good care of us. I'm so happy we found this gem! read more

I was super excited to visit this place with my husband while we were in town visiting Boston. It was super hard to find which was great in my opinion as it is a speakeasy. The ambience was nice. The staff were friendly. We didn't have any food but we had a couple cocktails (for two for my husband and for me). There was not one cocktail between the two of us that either of us had enjoyed. We choked them down, but unfortunately paid $75 for nearly undrinkable cocktails that did not really meet the description on the menu. Needless to say, we were disappointed. I think the place has potential but they need to taste their drinks before they sell them. It's hard to believe that anyone would enjoy those cocktails. We noticed people around us, struggling with them as well. If you make it there, good luck! read more

We were recommended to stop in to OFFSUIT by our server at Row34 she told us to visit Sam, and I was not disappointed. This is such a cute and intimate little space tucked away in the back of another restaurant. I had the espresso martini and it was delicious. Getting to this spot was also fun and a little creepy lol it is down an alley and a random locked door that you have to call in to have them open. So cool will be back thanks again for the great time. read more

I think this place is great. A classic speakeasy that isn't over the top. Super small (maybe fits 20 people max) cozy decor and atmosphere. I've been three times now and the cocktails we've had are excellent and very reasonably priced for what they are $16 drink. Love the six second rule, espresso martini, and opening ceremony. Lost a star because it can be tricky to get in and I would expect servers to make more recommendations on drinks. read more

I am so excited that Boston has a speakeasy bar that's ACTUALLY secretive!

My first speakeasy in Boston! The ambiance, the drinks, the staff were all perfect! They give you aperitif complimentary drinks which were so good in that well-balanced way. All the cocktails looked amazing, and the food was actually surprisingly quite good as well - got a cheeseboard and short rib skewers, and they were enjoyable (and bread is refillable!). Heard the hash browns were good but didn't get them. Also hands down the best espresso martini in Boston (not pictured.. too busy drinking it ) read more

A very coveted speakeasy in downtown Boston, and for good reason! We went on a Saturday night and the vibes were great. Elegant, and cozy with a great setup so you weren't on top the tables around you. We got the charcuterie board, which was great and tried a couple different cocktails. The espresso martini was to die for! read more

Such a fantastic find!! If you want a seat, I definitely recommend coming when they open. The drinks are phenomenal. I'm super picky with my alcohol, and the welcome drink and the 2 drinks I ordered both were amazing. The food is also surprisingly good. We had the pig ears (get it, it's good!). Also had the hash browns. And ended our night with the boozy milk and cookies. If you only get one food item, the cookies are a winner. Highly recommend! read more

I was impressed with the interior of the place, I enjoyed the music and drinks a lot, however if you're wanting to go here, you should make a reservation.

Can I tell you how happy I am to have found this place... Just opened last Wednesday and I am so impressed. This cocktail bar/speakeasy is located in the back of Troquet on South (the door is in the back alley and you have to call the phone number on the doorway to get on the waitlist). No reservations, first come first served. The ambience is cozy, intimate, and classy. The drinks are sophisticated and delicious. They have their own ice program and create some beautiful blocks. We got to try quite a few drinks and you can't go wrong with any of them. Opening Ceremony: fresh ginger offers a good kick, well-developed Lounge Act: unique take on an old fashioned, smooth, perfectly balanced Oaxaca Old Fashioned: extremely smooth and smoky from the tequila and mezcal Espresso Martini: "best espresso martini" tastes like a frap in a good way but kind of nutty and chocolate-y instead of overly sweet Smooth Charlene: raspberry flavor was refreshing and clean, fruity and not too sweet Isolated Incident: pineapple tiki drink, slightly smoky and balanced The food was also great. Crispy pig ears definitely had an Asian influence, tangy and chewy; hash browns came out so hot and crispy with the softest middle; and the chocolate chip cookies were comforting and soft and gooey and pairs nicely with the bourbon milk. Service was phenomenal, the owner, Matt, took great care of us and was very personable, developed some of the best drinks I've had in a while. I'll definitely be back. This is my new favorite spot in Boston for any night out. read more

This was my favorite speakeasy experience, not just in Boston - but anywhere. We went on a Friday night, found the door, called the number. The guy (GM?) estimated a 2 hour wait, so walked around Chinatown and got a snack and drink while we waited. We were called in after 90 minutes. Place is absolutely gorgeous on the inside. Big taxidermy Water Buffalo on the wall, candle lights everywhere, great music. We were given some tasty complementary mini-drinks to start. Wait staff was friendly, warm and attentive. The bar program here is next level. The cocktails were very impressive . We also had some food - fried pig ears, lobster roll and the double burger. All of it was delicious and outstanding. Zero complaints. Only thing I might change is add the ability to make a reservation online (like Backbar), but I'm sure they have their reasons why not. read more

Incredible spot for cocktails. Small, intimate, cozy. You feel like you're the only ones there, but not in an awkward way! Perfect lighting and noise level. Drink menu was unique and all our cocktails were fantastic. Particular liked the Stilleto which features a smooth fruity taste (passion fruit, vanilla). Cocktails are all $16 which reflects the quality! Reservations are now accepted which is awesome - we got in right away for ours (6:45 on a Thursday). read more

Loved it. The drinks, the staff, the intimate atmosphere. I am going out on a limb here but I believe they have one of the best espresso martinis in Boston. Overall the cocktail program is great. My only small critique is that it is a bit of a pain to get in on a weekend, I'd recommend going in for a weekday drink to avoid the hassle. read more

Great Espresso Martini and even better Ambiance! This is a great adventure to take friends to or even go on a date. It might be a little bit tricky to find, but it is well worth the search. The address leads you to a back alley where you have to find the not-so-obvious "5" on the door and then give them a call. I went on a Thursday around 5:30PM, and they were able to squeeze us in without a reservation. The minute you cross the curtain it's like you've stepped into another world. They've clearly thought out every design choice, the lighting, and the names of all of the drinks on the menu. The espresso martini was great! Strong drinks are always a plus when they're as pricey as these drinks are. I'll definitely be back soon, and I'm looking forward to trying some of their food next time :) read more

Cool speakeasy for delicious drinks and ambiance. Need to call the phone number on the door to get in.

Baller speakeasy! I can't get over the Kanye west music theme. This place is tough to find. You'll have to walk through an alley but look for the black door. The drinks here are great. My friends and I ordered a variety of drinks. One of my favorite drinks was a hard bargain. It was really a walk on the beach. Check this place out - it's a legit speakeasy. Gabby took excellent care of us. She knew exactly what to order. read more
