I wish it was not in the basement and a little more spacious, but I know space is hard to come by in downtown Boston. It can get pretty cramped if you go on a popular night. Staff here are lovely!

The Love in Tokyo cocktail was very sweet and creamy, at the cost of the matcha taste. First sip…read more(even after mixing) was heavy on the vodka, but this gets less overpowering as you continue to sip and let the ice melt to dilute it. Unfortunately, despite the sprinkling of matcha on top and the pleasant light green color of the cocktail, there was minimal matcha flavor in it. I was rather disappointed by how overwhelmingly cream-forward the taste was. However, this and many other cocktails are very pretty. If you're looking for a place with drinks that are more for the show or aesthetics, then this would probably be a good choice. The place was fairly accommodating of our large-ish party (~11 people)- it probably helped that we went on a Wednesday night when they were pretty much empty. They just let us sit in the corner and pull up chairs. Service was rather minimal and lackluster.

It was the coldest day of the year so far and we didn't want to walk all over trying to find somewhere to get a quick bite to eat. Since we were already staying at the intercontinental, we decided to eat at RumBa. We split a burger with truffle fries. It was more than enough to hold us over and the burger was so good! We were surprised by how good the food was because the ratings had us skeptical, but I have no complaints besides the slightly slower service we received. The view from the table we were sitting at was pretty amazing as well!

Nice easy walk. We arrived and the place was packed. No reservation. We came to the street entrance, which we thought was the main entrance. The person there took us to a seat at the oyster bar downstairs. The vibe was awesome. A mostly young crowd. Looked like a great place for after work meet up. Our waitress took our order. Clean chowda, Oysters, Lobsta Frites, and a Lobsta Roll (my first). Everything was better than expected. I even got a little education on the oysters from the shuckers. BTW, the red sauce in the dropper bottle is Hella Hot, but really good. The place was rocking and then we found out that there was an upstairs also. This place was very nice for a date and for some out of downers like us. I recommend it.

Wanted to love this place, but the food arrived cold and the service was dismissive…read more We ordered the clam chowder, a burger, and the warm lobster roll (they offer both warm and cold versions). When we mentioned that the lobster roll was cold, the server looked at me like I was dumb, pointed at the lobster roll, and said, "That is warm babe." The response came across so rude and unprofessional. There were also issues with our order being forgotten. We had to place the lobster roll order a second time because it wasn't entered the first time around. During that second order, the server asked whether we wanted fries or chips with the lobster roll, and we chose fries. We later found out we were charged an additional $4 for the fries, which was never mentioned.

This dive bar has it all - chinese food, tiki drinks (you can take home the glass!), karaoke, amazing bartenders, and the absolute best vibe. We met so many fun, friendly people and we surprised to find a spot in the heart of a tourist destination that had so many local regulars! I had the Mai Tai, the Scorpion Bowl (shared, of course), and topped it off with an order of fried rice. The food is perfect for a night of drinking and was actually pretty good!
