Great spot in Boston. Interesting service, wouldn't say good or bad. Good drinks, food looked good. Nice to have an lgbtq+ place in Boston. I'd try it again when back in town.

Love the atmosphere of this place. The food has always been enjoyable. Service is very good/

I last visited the Alley Bar on a Thursday for Trivia. And this place is great. The clientele is mostly gay men, but it's got a smattering of queer people of all types. And the trivia is pretty fun. Easy to hear but not overpowering. The host does a fantastic job. I'm also impressed that they manage to keep the music loud enough to be heard, but not to loud that you can't hear anyone - a common gripe. The last time I was here, I had the mozzarrella stick and a shrimp quesadilla. And while the shrimp quesadilla is not something I'll order again - the seasoning just isn't there and the cheese is so bland as to be a waste of space - the mozzarrella sticks are some of the best I've had in my life. They're generously breaded, always crispy, and give great stretch. Of the other food I've tried here, the cauliflower is definitely a plus, but let me be real with you: Don't come here for the food. Come for a beer and the ambiance. It's a good place.

Great portions, great service. Friendly staff, and very lively place. People hustle and bustle, and the music choice is solid as well.

I love how friendly everyone was however the mixed drinks we're TERRIBLE. The staff so warm and welcoming. The crowd was absolutely festive and the only reason why this doesn't get 5 stars was just how rough the drinks were. Oof. And this was on a Friday night (2/2). Please check the consistency of the product being served managers.

Right in the heart of downtown, this LGBT bar is a hidden gem (quite literally, I walked by it while looking for it!). Upon walking in, my friends and I immediately felt welcomed by the staff and multiple Pride flags in the space! We visited on a Friday night for a Drag Race watch party, which was so fun. We got there early, so it wasn't packed yet. That changed the closer we got to airtime! My friends and I ordered drinks throughout our entire time, which we were surprisingly reasonably priced! I even joked that the number 1 was missing in front of some of the prices because that's what I'm used to seeing throughout Boston. Seeing drinks for $9 was bizarre and even with that price, they were strong! We ordered an appetizer tray to share and each ordered burgers, two medium well and one medium rare. While cooked differently, they were on the drier side, which was discouraging. The fries were fairly standard. We will be back, but perhaps will consider other options for food in the future.
