Offering a tribute to the Great City of Boston, The Greatest Bar callsFriend Street home.

the worst bar ever – The Greatest = The Lamest Bar!!! Please, waiting outside for 10 minutes to pay $15 @ the door? Seriously this place is slumville & classless. Not worth it!!! The owners should be ashamed of themselves!!!

there is no "zero star" option – Reasons not to choose this heinous establishment: *They charge girls $10 and guys $15 to get in...totally sexist and ridiculous *The music was awful and the DJ couldn't mix them well at all. Most of the songs weren't even known songs. Not dancing music, or even just sitting around drinking music. Terrible. *Security(with headphones and walkie talkies) were on major power trips, only concerning themselves with how your hat was worn, which floor you're allowed to be on, and they were all ugly. ... read more

STAY AWAY – Why the hell is there a cover to get into this place? There's nothing special about it. People get dressed up to go to this dump and no one cares. Overall everyone is rude here and the drinks are over-priced with awful service. The bouncers do their job of being jerks and meatheads. The only reason I was there was for a bday party which turned out to be an awful decision. My buddy got thrown out for trying to stand near his friends while some random guy was in between being a creep. I spoke to the owner Jeff abou... read more

Great Friday Night! – My friends and I went to the bar after hearing great things about there Friday night as it is the place to be. The line was down the street and the crowd was all dressed to impress which means a lot to me. We waited in line for about 15 min then got in and I was amazed at the crowd being a little older than I heard. The bar was asking for two back up id's at the door which seemed to scare a lot of kids in the line. We got in and the 1st floor was busy but not packed and a lot of girls dancing to a dj sp... read more

Not so Greatest Bar (good potential, Terrible DJ) – I've been to this bar a handful of times and its always been an "eh" experience...good, but definitely not great, I'm pretty indifferent to it. The bar has a lot of potential, 4 floors, average prices, plenty of room, etc. I went there this past Saturday (July 19th 2008) for a friends birthday. I was anticipating a great time since the bar is usually pretty good for that type of event (it never gets too crowded). The DJ on the other hand.... sucked He would play a song for ... read more

Really is The Greatest Bar – Best place in Boston. Every time I've been to this place I've always had a good time. The drinks are cheap and the service is fast and everyone who works their is really nice. The food's actually really good too. The owner's even interact with the customer's and that's something that doesn't happen in most bars or clubs. Crowds always pretty good looking, a lot of college kids that like to have a good time and theirs usually something going on every night. I wouldn't go any where else in Boston, ... read more

love the lay out, hate the bartenders. – the bud select is good for the $3. BUT seriously the bartenders are very, very amature and really rude. I tip $3 per 3 (beer) drink round and im never known next time around.. i ordered 2 shots of quervo teq. and their bottle was MT. so he says want patron? i said ok sure but pour it at the price of the quarvo i ordered(reasonable i thought). he said no. little does he know if he did that i would've tipped him huge. instead i waited for the bar-back to bring the original request. it w... read more

Everybody Has to check out this place! 3 for 3! – I have been to many bars in the city but I have to say this place has figured it out! I have gone there three times and each time It was for a different event. The first was to watch a Red Sox game, second was for a holiday party, and the third was last Saturday Night! Starting with the watching a sox game. I went there because I heard about the huge HD TV. I couldn't get tickets for the game so I went there and the atmosphere was great. Food was a 10! You have to try the Piz... read more

Good times at the Greatest Bar – I checked out the Greatest Bar this past Friday night and it was awesome. Great crowd, great music, and great service. Ive heard that it was a good time on Saturday nights as well. Ive been before Garden events and Id say its definitely the place to be! Its like 4 bars in one, guaranteed good times. I would highly recommend checking it out.
