Drinks are relatively inexpensive compared to some other taverns, and the service was very good. The food also isn't expensive, but it is delicious. The veggie burger is juicy and flavourful, and the onion rings were fried to the perfect texture.
Place is closing in March so I assume they don’t care to have fresh and good tasting food. Nauseating smells like a quickly douched over bathroom. The entire place smells like this. Needless to say we sat down and left within 5 mins. Got a bad vibe from the start and the unenthusiastic hostess confirmed this for me. “Yea we’re closing in March the building sold and not sure what’s gonna happen after that.” I used to come here for nightlife 8-10 years ago when it first opened. The place has really gone downhill.
Perfect bar aesthetic; none of that trendy new age nonsense from the bars nearby, but not a dump either. It's got just the right furnishings, lighting, mood, and general atmosphere that a bar should have. Bring friends. The fried pickles are an oddly good pairing with whatever you're drinking. A bit hard to talk over the noise when it's crowded.
Seems like you have to be a local and know exactly what you want to get decent service here. Several things we tried to order they did not actually have even though it was written on the menu. There are so many better restaurants nearby, the view is the only thing this place has going for it.
Typical pub. Not great but nothing wrong with it either. Right on the water, holds a lot of people. Gets crowded. Nice neighborhood.
Huge bar, nice selection of beers and whiskey. They have a good selection of whiskey flights so you can try different varieties. Cool view of the water from the large windows in the back. Didn't have any food so can't comment. Bartenders were very friendly and made me feel welcome. Enjoyable experience, highly recommend!
I don't know much about whiskey, but if you're into it then you will be in for a huge selection. Other than that the food is just ok. Nothing to write home about but a decent place to go if you're looking for your basic pub food without spending tons of money on specialty creations that use exotic ingredients. The service was decent but could've been better. It's got some good views, however, since it's on a pier.
I went to the bartender to order a drink for my friend on his birthday. He wanted a "Blowjob". I asked the bartender for this drink as well as a diet coke (I was driving) and his only response was, "Good luck getting a drink", and left. How offensive. I went to this establishment to have a good time with my friends (paid the cover as well), and to be turned down because of my order and possible sexual orientation is obserd. It's 2017. When I confronted the bartender afterwards he threatened to kick me and my friends out. The absolute worst costumer service I've ever received in my life. Needless to say, me and my friends will never be coming back to Wiskey Priest because of this bartender.
Greasy Bar food could be improved, but the whiskey selection is top notch!
If it's sunny, people will be here on the roof deck. It's pretty much your average bar other than the fact it's waterfront. Views are just ok. Crowd is post baccalaureate young professional not so professional.
A mainstay of Boston. Great drinks, food, and vibe. Great for day drinking or any occasion. Cozy place on the water with great character.
Great selection, great waterfront views, and a fun atmosphere. Went with a small crowd after a conference and we loved it
