Reviews for Scholars American Bistro and Cocktail Lounge in Boston, MA

Bar was nice. But the front desk girl was rude and should definitely not be working up front. She was Caucasian with brunette... hair and had a pony tail wearing glasses. On Saturday night a group of my friends wanted drinks and we were seated near a veryuncomfortable and tight area. When they were 8 of us. A perfectly nice available booth and table was behind it and it didn’toccur to them that would’ve been a better fit to seat all of us. She had an attitude right away when I asked for us to sitthere instead. Anyway, if this is the type of person you want to represent you guys at a bar you should put her in the back orsomething cleaning toilets or doing bathroom duties because she was not suited to be working up front.

Great bar. Nice quiet spot without the madness of the downtown bars nearby.

We recently hosted a team dinner here at scholars and were very impressed by both the service and food. The entire team enjoyed... their drinks and the ability to choose from their menu. Our servers were very attentive to our large 20 person party and I willdefinitely be bringing the team back when we schedule another outing. Flank stank was great especially paired with a. Oldfashioned. Read more

Excellent food with decent pairing options. Cocktail menu had few offerings, but the cocktails they do have were made... well. Prices are fair for the area. Service was polite and responsive but perhaps understaffed for weeknight traffic. Read more

Very good food- very good service. Thank you!!

Pretty solid venue, great for after-work activities for small groups. Their food is great as well! I got their chicken sandwich... with mac and cheese on it, t'was amazing paired with several lychee cocktails. Read more

We got reservations for around 10 people the same day we were planning to visit. They called to confirm what kind of seating do... we prefer. Parking in the area might be an issue. The place itself is very big, has pool table, small dance floor and goodmusic. After 9, the place turns into a crowded bar with people dancing on the dance floor. Food and alcohol menu are limited butgood food and drinks altogether. Definitely a place to go and chill with group of friends. Read more

Very very roomy place. Loved the atmosphere. Loved the cocktails and the food. Great for a casual dinner or meeting with friends... or even a date. I will definitely go back. Parking is a big issue there so be prepared to park in the nearby garages. Read more
