Smashburger
Josh S.

I probably would give a 4.5 rating for this but rounding down. If I lived in the area, this would 100% be my go-to neighborhood bar. The smash burger they have was fantastic, great beer selection, TV for sports, and a really cool interior / bar vibe. The fried pickles were really solid with a little bit of kick from the jalapeños. I would definitely stop by again if in the area.

Smash burger with seasoned fries

A beautiful Fall day to grab an outside table and people watch while we waited for our food. The place was busy inside and out as the word must be out that this place has great food. Sylvan, our friendly and delightful waiter, managed to keep everyone happy. My husband and I both had smash burgers. He opted for a double, but the single was more than enough for me. Very yummy as it was topped with pickles, lettuce, tomato and cheese. We each got a side for $3 extra. The fried pickles were so plentiful I am taking most home. We stuck with water, but the people around us all seemed to be enjoying fun looking alcoholic beverages including a few slushie delights. This was a great stop after dropping friends at Logan

The best local bar in East Boston! I just visited Boston for the first time and we stayed in Eastie. We tried out several of the other bars and restaurants around and they were just ok, but The Quiet Few was our favorite by far! Everyone was friendly, the drinks were flowing, and the music was blasting! Free koozies given out to us with our drinks which we loved! We did not try the food but everything that came out looked and smelled great. Yes, it's a bit small and you may need to wait outside for just a bit if they are over capacity but it's worth it. To be honest, I'm glad that they monitor the capacity because otherwise it would be too jam packed! We ended up coming back every night that we were in town because it was a blast! Whoever Britney C. is that gave them a 1 star review has a stick up her you-know-what, and has only ever given 1 star ratings in her whole 3 review history. Clearly a Karen - ignore her.

One of the most fun bars I have ever been to. Full disclosure , this is a very small bar expect to stand. Order drinks at the bar. The entire pickle shot thing was brand new to me and I loved doing a whiskey shot followed by a pickle juice shot. You must give it a try. Delicious food options. Your bar and food tap can get pretty pricey since you'll try so many different things. Total neighborhood spot. Has a marvelous time with very friendly bartenders.

Fried pickles

What a cool bar! My friends told me about this place while we were in eastie and I'm so glad they did. The menu has a ton of options from small bites to good portions. The fries and fries pickles are my favorite. I orders a Mexican salad once and it was tasty. The bar has typical options for drinks and pickle back shots if you're interested. The service is always great. Bring your friends or come on a date you won't regret it.

Might be my favorite bar and restaurant in Boston. Everything on the menu is delicious and they frequently change up menu items which keeps you coming back.

4.5!!! We came here on Trivia night (Mondays) with some friends and it was so much fun! The bar space isn't too big so the night we went it was pretty crowded but we still made it work! The first 20mins we were standing around trying wait for a table to open up and honestly since it's a small space it did feel like it was hard to move around. But we were able to order some food with the bartender (they don't have waiters come to your table, super casual you order your drinks/food at the bar and they will drop off your food) it was a little bit chaotic since it was busy on the night we went. We got the Nashville fried hot chicken sandwich and it was soo good!!! Very juicy, flavorful and crunchy! Trivia questions were tough but it was a super fun activity with friends! The loaded fries/poutine was just okay, good but most likely would not get again (nothing super special) I would come back again with friends for some more trivia and try out some of their other foods!

The Quiet Few doesn't miss! Went for "wurst Wednesday" and had one of the most creative and delicious sandwiches. Definitely stop by! This is a must must try!!

Hell Yeah burger
Aynsley W.

Favorite Eastie bar! Your classic dive bar in the BEST way possible! Our go-to order is the Smash burger or Hell Yeah burger, a bucket of waffle fries, and a pitcher on Narragansett. It's very casual and welcoming vibe. Service is friendly and attentive. They have outdoor seating and a shuffle board in the back. And they have trivia on Monday's at 8pm and a Whiskey of the Week! Also, very sweet story on where they get their name.

Been living in Eastie the past year and finally got around to trying this place for a casual night out. Wish I tried it sooner because I'd definitely be a regular! The vibe in here is amazing. You choose your own seating, order your food and drinks at the bar, and it'll be brought to your table. This is actually a very interesting way of service because there's never any pressure to rush ordering or eating without that part of service at the table. There are more drinks on the menu than food and the food was wow, delicious! The fried chicken burger was perfectly cooked, perfectly crispy, coating was not too thick. The burger was also super tasty with a perfectly cooked egg on top. Note the burgers do not come with sides so we added a side of waffle fries. Buffalo cauliflower was also great and comes with blue cheese and ranch dips. Yum yum and yum! For indoor dining they require proof of vaccination (showing a picture of the vaccination card + ID to match name and date of birth). There are also some outdoor patio tables.

First visit, Monday 4/20/26…read more Visiting Boston on a work trip, I had no idea the Marathon was today! Met 4 colleagues at The Red Fox for dinner, a recommendation from a friend of my colleague. Tough to find initially and very unsuspecting upon arrival. As you enter the front door (think like walking into a foyer of a small apartment building) you go down a flight of stairs into the restaurant. Then wow, this place is awesome! Small entry way into the restaurant with a hostess immediately greeting you. The bar is your first view of the place and it was packed. I'd describe it as dimly light, great atmosphere and ambience, almost a speakeasy feel. I'd recommend a reservation. The hostess walked us to our table, walking along the bar line with small 2-4 top tables to our left, we then turned left into the main dining room. 5 of us and we were seated at a horseshoe style table, plenty of room for up to 6 adults. Service was instant, she was friendly and very knowledgeable. We ordered cocktails and a couple apps. The drinks arrived along with bread service. They added small side plates with oils and olives, a nice touch. The cocktails were fantastic as was the homemade bread. A unique twist with my cocktail (kettle one & soda), was the single ice cube that was a long rectangle cube that was so clear you couldn't see it! The cubes length was the same as the tall glass it was served in and didn't melt. For dinner I listened to our server who recommended the Chicken Parmigiana with a chefs twist using a vodka infused sauce, this dish was amazing! My colleagues all shared the same feelings that this meal was spectacular. Highly recommend The Red Fox!

Totally worth the hype!…read more Came here for drinks with friends and was blown away with the creativity of the cocktails and the warmth of the staff. This place is tiny and you need to fight for your life for a reservation but it makes sense why it's so popular. The drinks are spectacular and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and will guide you through the whole experience. Will definitely be returning!

We had a wonderful visit to Farmacia for the Korean chapter…read more The cocktails were masterfully formulated and Susie was such a delight throughout the evening, being able to chat while also preparing the drinks. The other couples during the seating were lovely as well. Things I loved: *pay in advance--you pay when you make the reservation so you can just leave at the end *the cocktails--among the best you can find in boston. You can taste the care that goes into the menu preparation. *the service--we had such a nice evening that flew by Things of note: *the seating goes by pretty fast--for the volume of alcohol (3.5 drinks), the 90ish minute seating is too short. We ended up having to drink faster than we wanted to *the bar snacks--while tasty, they were teeny tiny. See my photo of the banchan--meant to be shared among two people. I was anticipating slightly more volumous snacks All in all, I totally recommend this experience and would definitely go back

Such a fun experience and honestly such a deal for how many drinks and food you get! Definitely…read moreneed reservations, even on a weekday. You have to enter the building with a small fox picture, go down a set of stairs and check in at the counter of said restaurant before they lead you into the back where the speakeasy is. The menu is "set" in that they have a particular cuisine focus for the night and the four food dishes are predetermined as well as the first drink. That being said, you get to order three more drinks from their cocktail menu that range from lighter to more spirit forward, ending with more dessert type cocktails. All the drink flavors were so unique and a fun twist. The food was actually very substantial. Good flavors as well. Our favorite dishes were the lamb cigars (large egg roll shape with eggplant and spices) and the whole branzino. Everything was good though. Service was a very friendly and they were open about the fact that if you didn't like a drink they'd make you another one.

Man I love this place…read more Reservations are a must and it is a little tricky to find. Look for the fox on the outside door and go downstairs. We sat at the bar and Ada was our bartender. She was great! Really enjoyed talking with her and she had great drinks recommendations. The food was delicious and very unique which was refreshing. Its a 2 hour experience with 4 drinks, 3 food courses and a dessert. You definitely wont be hungry after. Highly recommend for a date night.

Continues to be one of my favorite cocktail bars!!!!! The drinks are so good. We stopped in this…read morepast weekend and of course got the pistachio martinis. You really can't go wrong with them and they are a must try. I love the gelato in them, it really kicks them up a notch. I also got the espresso martini which was very very good too. Definitely a top 5 espresso martini. We also got an affogato and had baileys added to it- this was AMAZING! If you're into dessert drinks this is the best place for them. Sometimes you have to wait in line but once you're seated the service is great. The staff checks in often and is extremely helpful. This is a great date night or hang out spot, it has a very relaxed atmosphere and feels like a cafe. Highly recommend!

Service has a lot to be desired. They're rude and don't focus on customer service…read more We ended up walking out because they just gave attitude from the first words out of their mouth. I had my laptop and was NOT doing any work on it. I just had it with me and I wasn't even planning to do work on it. I was there to get coffee. They came up to me and gave me attitude over it and them not wanting screens. I was like okay but then they walked off and didn't take our orders. They saw us leaving and asked if we wanted anything. We said "No! I said we respected your wishes and never disrespected your policy but instead of taking our orders you gave us shit and walked off." They obviously don't want customers.
