The drinks were fine, atmosphere was fine, but heres the issue:
The bartender that night, unsure of who exactly, EASILY over-served everyone, and showed no concern.
One of the people who was over served, walked up to my group, and tried to take my drink from right in front of me, then tried to take my friends drink.
All that happend while the bartender AND manager were watching, and they did absolutely nothing.
I talked to the manager, explained the situation as if he DIDNT see it, and all he did was replace my drink after I asked him to.
It was nice that he replaced my drink, but he didnt seem happy about it, and didnt do anything about the overly drunk guy trying to take our drinks.
The bartender didnt care, and neither did the manager.
For this reason alone, I would NOT recommend this bar.
EDIT:
I am changing my review just a bit. After originally writing the review, and rating only 1 star, I was reached out to by the team via email. They asked for more details, took my review and experience seriously, and showed a genuine interest in making sure my specific experience would help to improve their establishment. I cannot rate 5 stars, based on the way it was initially handled, but I can definitively say they take it seriously, and it was worth looking into. What's done is done, but I'm confident nothing similar would happen again at this bar!
Great! They have really good cocktails, we had margaritas and champagne cocktails.
I've been to City bar several times now, and it's always good. Super fresh and cooked just right. The seared arctic char with shiitake mushrooms was delicious (not sure if it's still on the menu). The Cioppino is tasty as well. Always a line, but worth it if you have the flexibility. One of the best seafood restaurants in Boston.
City bar has a great atmosphere. They have very nice decor and ambiance. The staff are very friendly. The food is delicious. There's a good amount of variety on the menu. Everything is a bit pricey though.
