How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone is booking somewhere for six or more people. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of bar-type venues in Boston. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Boston venues are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 179 venues in Boston that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 5 have Wi-Fi recorded and 19 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Boston venues have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, Joe’s American Bar & Grill, Brassica Kitchen + Cafe, Stephany's on Newbury, Trident Booksellers & Cafe and Moonshine 152 all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these venues stay open late?

Ostra, Shore Leave, Joe’s American Bar & Grill, Abe & Louie's and The Deck on Lansdowne are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these venues are step-free?

Ostra, Shore Leave, Joe’s American Bar & Grill, Mumbai Spice Indian Restaurant and Abe & Louie's are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - takes reservations, capacity recorded, outdoor seating, opening hours published, phone number listed - you can call ahead - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
