This was a tough rating. The atmosphere is a 3.5 stars. The food is 2.5 stars and the service is 4 stars. The bar service is great. It pulls a vibrant professional crowd. The tacos were meh. Don't get me wrong...They were fresh but lacked flavor. The same was true for the salsa and chips. (A little salt and cilantro and it would have been great instead it tasted like tomatoes and onions. I love tomatoes so I didn't send it back but it left much to be desired.) The drinks were on the weaker side. I ordered two margaritas and I may as well have had juice. At $30 for two drinks, I expected a stronger drink. The music was sounded pretty techno most of the night. A little variety with diverse genres and/or artists would have really made for a better night. The restrooms are staffed and stashed with everything from mints to hair products. Again, don't get me wrong...The vibe is pretty good. I think a few tweaks and it will be great. I will return and try some other dishes and drinks. If you follow me, you know I used to work at a Mexican restaurant and I lived in South Texas so I'm a stickler for good salsa and tacos. I'll update after my next visit. read more

Scorpion Bar - Carne Asada and Chicken Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Came here solely for the drinks but we opted to get chips with salsa and guacamole. We actually were walking by and decided to stop in. It looked brand new and on the second floor. The restaurant reminded me of Rocco's Tacos in South Florida. We were sat at a table and our waiter was friendly and quick. I started with the Classico margarita and that was really tasty. I think they make theirs margarita mixes out of fresh ingredients. The chips were freshly made and the salsa was so flavorful; the guacamole was also so fresh. My second drink was sangria and that was really good. Overall, my experience here was good. I think it turns into a club at night. Definitely check it out if you want Americanized Mexican food and margaritas. It's a large restaurant so it could fit large groups. I would definitely return when I'm in town. read more

Scorpion Bar - Chips and dip - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My friends and I came here on a Saturday night at around 7:45 PM. I was super impressed by their lush interior, night club-esque vibes, and winding staircases. The dining room/bar area was complete with large windows, high-top seating, and large TVs. We came here for drinks (I got their strawberry margarita / $13) and quick bites, so we ordered the Loco Nachos ($14) to share. It consisted of lettuce, olives, jalapenos, a cheese blend, sour cream, and pico de gallo. I also tried their grilled mushroom taco ($6) which consisted of generous amounts of mushroom slices, pickled onions, shaved cabbage slaw, truffle crema, and spices. The nachos appetizer wasn't worth the price tag. I was hoping for warm, gooey, and plentiful cheese but instead it was dry and not well dispersed. It did have lots of fresh toppings which I appreciated! The grilled mushroom taco was pretty good as expected. :- ) It was overflowing with fillings and very nicely presented. I tasted hints of cinnamon and lots of spice with each bite. The truffle crema and the spicy pickled red onions were the stars of the show. :- ) The only downside was the overly salty mushroom strips. My strawberry margarita was just okay- I've definitely had better. My friends didn't really like their drinks either (the coconut margarita and the Minted cocktail). Despite the bustling environment, all the servers were very kind and efficient. A+ service! I'm not sure if I'll be back but I'm glad I gave Scorpion Bar a try! read more

Disappointing!!! Used to rave about their nachos, and only went back for their nachos. Come to find out I get a pathetic 1 layer of chips plate. What's up with that? $14, no meat and most definitely not the quantity you want when you're ordering a tray of nachos--especially for a few people. This place used to be good, but cutting back noticeably on your best dish without warning means I won't be going back. The rest of their food was never impressive to begin with. read more

My friends and I came here as we were bar hopping on a beautiful Saturday evening. The interior inside was pretty nice and upscale. Their prices for food and drinks were a bit pricey, but this is Seaport after all. They have some tables by a balcony which have a really nice view. As a plus, the Grand, which is a decent nightclub is upstairs if you want to turnup. We were hungry so we ordered the Appetizer Sampler which came with Scorpion Wings, Empanada, Nachos, Carne Flautas, and Taquitos and it was AWESOME! Especially the wings! The service was good, despite being busy we got our food and drinks pretty quick. There was a cocktail waitress that came out free shots of beers which was nice. Overall, I would recommend giving this place a try. read more

$30 for get in. $16 for Tito's. Worth it ? Definitely not. Never heard such a garbage music in my life. read more

I think that scorpion bar is a little bit overhyped. The margarita was good but quite expensive. The food was OK and pretty overpriced. I also got a vodka soda which was just as expensive as a specialty cocktail which I thought was ridiculous read more

Scorpion Bar - Chicken Tinga - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

First time coming here for food, in the past I've only gotten drinks. My girlfriend really wanted to eat here so I was willing to give it a shot. Let's start with the positives, clean environment, nice decor and quality drinks. Unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. I ordered the chicken & Mac burrito bowl. The chicken was ok but the Mac & cheese was extremely bland and borderline tasteless. The cheese in my girlfriends quesadilla wasn't even melted and the waitress forgot to take my friend's order until I flagged her down. Oh and by the way after a certain hour it becomes a "club" and it's a 30 dollar cover. A rip off in my book. People seem to love this place so take it as you will. read more

Only been there once, but had a great time! Nice space with good atmosphere. Attentive and knowledgeable bar tenders. The change over from dinner to dancing was a well orchestrated process. read more

Had an amazing time at scorpion bar!! Food was amazing. Drinks were great. Atmosphere was nice. Just an overall great experience for our first time. Will be coming back. read more

Overall I liked this place. My partner and I came for happy hour, and were surprised it's actually maybe a nightclub after hours? Anyway, wild decor, but fun atmosphere. We ordered one of the happy hour's $5 specials, the fried jalapeño ravioli- drop dead delicious, with just enough heat. Then we were delighted to learn that on thursdays all burritos are $5. Veg burrito options were limited. My vegetarian burrito was fine- nothing special. My partners california burrito was apparently very good. I docked the place two stars for the burrito taste and the fact that my jalapeño marg maybe didn't have more than half an ounce of tequila in it, if that. Honorable mention to our server (maybe Michael?) who was a really sweet guy and went out of his way to get us what we needed. read more

If you want to maintain your grace and dignity as a customer, do not go to the scorpion bar! They ruined our Saturday night. This place is not worth our time and money! Plus there is nothing great in the food either! We were a party of 6 and were so excited to go to the scorpion bar that we waited for 1.5 hours over there to get a table. However, the guard at the door who the manager addressed as the "director" spoke extremely rudely to us. I have never heard anybody speak to a customer in such a derogatory manner! It was a really rude, humiliating and insulting experience. Upon going in after the long wait, we were given a table right under the speaker where the music was really really loud. When we requested to switch to another table outside we were told it is reserved and that we cannot be given another table. However, the reality was, that no one turned up on that table till we left! It was very evident that we were deliberately denied our request. When we requested and asked if the music volume can be lowered a little we were told "this is how we want it, we cannot lower the volume". It is okay if you want to maintain a certain decibel level at a restaurant, but there's a way to speak to a customer. We are not taking your services for free! Due to the loud music the server could not hear our order properly and brought us a burrito instead of an empanada. The loud music and the way our table was situated could not let the 6 of us converse while having dinner. It defeated our entire purpose of meeting and going out. When we brought all of this to the managers' notice before we left, he was unapologetic and was extremely cold toward us. It seemed as if he doesn't care. On the whole it was an unpleasant and displeasing experience which ruined our Saturday night! read more

The hostess and the manager were extremely rude. We went to scorpion to celebrate one of our friends birthday and after leaving it felt like this was a bad decision of going to scorpion bar. We were seated underneath a loud music speaker. The music being so loud were not even able to interact amongst each other. We asked multiple time to turn down the music a little so that we can have a good dining experience but the reply that we got was "the manager wants it like that". The bouncer on the entry door was the rudest person i would ever see in my life. We were waiting to be seated on the first floor and two of our party members arrived a little after. His way of asking them why they needed to enter was extremely bad and rude. This was the first experience entering into the restaurant. I would not recommend someone to go to scorpion after such an experience. The drinks and the server were the only two good things that we came across during our time here. read more

This place was not bad; although a bit pricey for some of the food. I also got a mango mojito ($14) which is the typical price around Boston. It was actually very good and tasted like a mango juice. My friend and I were not too hungry so we stuck with some appetizers. I ordered the taquitos, which were very tasty and came with a well paired dipping sauce. We also got the chicken n churros and it wasn't bad. Chicken was crispy but a little too greasy for our liking. As my first time having cinnamon churros, they were very good! The honey paired well with everything. I got a taco as well ($7 for one) and it wasn't bland like other people stated, just overpriced. Service is ok, nothing outstanding. read more

No don't go here! They charge you $5 for water. It's a scam. They also didn't have a menu. They gave us an old menu and said the prices were different. read more

If you haven't been here you missed it!! Most transit snakes ever and fusion Mexican style!! Must try!!!!: pork belly spicy kimchi taco!! - it's a mountain of joy in Japan fission style a la Mexico City And even being the bar it have tables with reservation and real kitchen with amazing chefs!!! Different seating stylish areas for all kind of public! Cost but elevated lux in the same time Stylish and Jimmie Cool and social And you can hear your family and friends even with music Great place for all socialites Get the seat as early as possible before the kitchen closes!!!! Amazing food Low rating by yelp is unfair to this place High rating is everywhere else I guess it's because yelp is used by low profile tourists using google gps, where it's attached to and the ones who don't understand locals preferences If you notice many higher rating places like maestros of seaport is a sh**tholls - high selfishness and low profile sale people with basic suits #whydoyouwearasuitonhotdayandsundayonyourdayoff?? #youdintbornthisway read more

Very Loud, no chairs and full of naked youths. Hedonism prevails. They charged me 30 whole dollars and then the beverages were quite expensive. Would suggest Sunday service instead. read more

I checked my jacket in and kept the ticket they gave me. When I went to go claim my jacket and handed in my ticket, the guy working the coat check said "your ticket isn't here" and then proceeded to crumple my ticket and toss it aside. NO APOLOGY AND HE DIDN'T OFFER ANY HELP. He gave my jacket to some other patron, which I don't understand how that could've happened other than that he was careless. No one who worked at this establishment gave me an acceptable answer as to how they can rectify this mistake. The only answer I received was that "mistakes happen". Unbelievable. If you went to Scorpion Bar on the night of April 21, 2018 and accidentally took a black size 10 All Saints leather jacket with a Koa Mill pin on the left lapel, please please return it. This jacket has important sentimental value to me because of who gave it me. PLEASE PLEASE RETURN IT! read more

Why is zero stars not an option? We walked in with no expectations and left still disappointed. We tried the Sangria and two different kinds of margaritas. All were watered down and awful. We shared the chalupa and authentico tacos. They looked good but were just "okay" at best and much worse considering that they tout their "amazing tacos." Even better was our waitress forgetting about us halfway through our meal and it taking about 15 minutes to flag a waitress down. This $80 meal was not worth a penny. read more

This review is mainly in response to the management. We spent 400 dollars at this establishment. Bartenders were phenomenal but the bald guy "in charge" was terrible. He made a horrible assumption that our friend was vomiting all over the bathroom when in fact there were multiple women vomiting at the same time in the restroom. One of which he was smiling and joking with. There was no escalation he immediately became such a jerk about it. We were paying customers whom in fact really were minding our own business until he began acting like a fool. Recommendation: have this gentleman attend leadership and customer service seminar 101. That is not how you treat customers by any means regardless of your position. There are much better ways to handle situations especially when assumptions make you look like a a**. read more

Two Stars WTF? Scorpion Bar damn this place is so alluring,located on the second floor in the beautiful and sexy seaport, upon entering the bar I was captivated by this huge mural of the desert that covered the entire wall! This place really set the standard high for a bar...Its damn sexy! we were a group of ten here to watch the Superbowl and it was packed! plenty of tables everywhere, its great for large groups Atmosphere: As soon as we walked in it was full of energy,the lighting set the mood to chill mode and to top it they had a DJ playing some classic old school hip-hop what else could you ask for. It was dope!! Service: Ria our server really had her hands full with us last night, we were hungry,thirsty and we needed a lot of attention.She was extremely attentive and so focused to making our night unforgettable! We were all satisfied and didn't wait long for anything.. Food: The menu is Mexican-American. Street Burrito: The cheeseburger burrito with papa fritas and that secret sauce was magnificent Empanadas: choice of beef or chicken with ancho dipping sauce, the empanda was flaky and buttery baked not fried really good. Grande Nachos: These were fully loaded with everything great to share and really filling Wings: We got the honey siracha and the house buffalo both fresh and full of flavor Quesadillas: If someone would please cut these quesadilla in to fours instead of two huge pcs, these were not shareable at all as it was a project to cut them. We got the shrimp, steak, chicken all were mouth-watering and stuffed with meat!! Dessert: You must get the oreo churros, served warm and one bite the cream filling was oozing out of them. so damn good Overall we had a blast, lets not forget when coming here, you are in the seaport, so do not expect hole in the wall bar prices its not gonna happen... Make sure your wallet is full LOL read more

This place was decent to begin with but went downhill FAST! There was a hair in our nachos last time and the margaritas were terrible.

if I could add 0 stars I would. this place is utterly disgusting and unsafe. there is absolutely no benefit to having a table. no security. no space. no help from management when issues arise. way too many people let into this place and people over served to the point where fights are inevitable and do happen. absolutely do not go here, this place is a scam. Only praise is to the bottle girl who did her best to help us. read more

Good pitcher of classic margs and nachos included for the table. It wasn't too busy which was nice and the staff was very attentive.

I dont know which was worse, the crowd or the staff: entirely lacking in class and grace. The staff here clearly does not understand the meaning of service. However, that may be entirely appropriate to the needs of the banal patrons. *********************************************************** Cushy Feelz: Management posts, " we'll contact you to make things right", message. Reality: mgmnt never contacts me Im not sure which is more embarrassing, publicly claiming to contact a patron to smooth things over, and privately never following up on that public claim, or simply, never responding at all. I am embarrassed that Scorpion is the "scene" that Boston has devolved to. Check your dignity, Bostonians read more

Long wait for mediocre drinks and a line for absolutely no reason this bar likes to hype themselves up

Went here with a group of girls last month. We had terrible service and the food was very over priced. One of our group members didn't get her order for at least 30 minutes after everyone else got theirs and we couldn't find anyone to address the issue. Just arrived for a night out with a group of girls and one friend who is homosexual and were told they were full. A group of men after us who were our same size and did not have a reservation were let in without question. Will not be going back. read more

This place serves a purpose as a fun spot in the Seaport for some drinks, especially later at night. If you want a fun night out this should be on your list of fun Boston bars. The setup is a bit confusing and the divider a few feet behind the bar (where they hire dancers to perform) ends up making it difficult to get to the bar, one of my pet peeves. Other than that, the music is great and the drinks are fine. For food I've been disappointed with both the service and the food on both my visits. The wait staff was not attentive and the food quality was on par with a fast casual restaurant. Nothing bad, just forgettable food. Our waitress kept disappearing as well for long periods of time where people wanted refills of their drinks. read more

What a great experience! The staff treated our party like we the only ones there and that was awesome. Our server stayed with us all night. The security was really attentive. The crowd was rocking and music was on point. Great times all around! I'd book another table! read more

I had the shrimp fajitas and it was pretty good. I asked for no beans but they still gave me a cup of it so who knows how well they are at following directions. I would be wary if you have allergies! I also got 3 of the "amigos" which was quite delicious... Did not taste like any type of packaged Margarita mix. We shared the guac and chips and that was pretty good too. We had a big party of maybe like 14 people with one server. If you aren't standing in front of the host, good luck getting their attention. There's coat check so that's nice. There was 5 hostess and they were all just facing front and only one on computer while the rest watched. Busy busy place at 8:30 pm on a Friday. The Scorpion burrito was delicious! But watch out for the melted cheese that it comes with! THAT IS SPICY! My friend turned it into a rice bowl instead of getting it as a burrito. Four stalls in the girls bathroom. They have dancers on top of the VIP area when it turns into a night club at night. You'll probably get kicked out without a warning if you do something one of the bouncers don't like. read more

GREAT drinks..maybe some of the best margaritas and selection of tequila in Boston. The food is good but not great. Tons of different kinds of tacos which are sold individually so you can try different options. They also have a Mexican pu pu platter that includes a bunch of the different apps they offer. This place heats up after work hours and at night with younger crowds and it turns into a lounge/club at night. read more
