very pleasant surprise 2/16/2008

2 friends and i went there on a monday night. we arrived around 7 for dinner and we were planning to go elsewhere afterwards for drinks. we had the spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer and it was probably the best spinach dip i have ever had (i am kind of a spinach and artichoke snob):-) i had the mac and cheese for dinner which was fabulous and my friends had the fried chicken salad and the grilled cheese and tomato soup. we loved our dinner and were surprised it was not very expensive. we had some wine and beer with dinner and everything was great. we ended up staying there for the entire night and had some great cocktails. meghan was our bartender and she was so good. the drinks were perfect not weak at all but not so strong we could not drink them. overall we were really excited to find this place and will definately be back again. we were told they have a d.j. on friday and saturday nights and also in the basement they have rock bands. i think i will be back here many more times! Pros: loved the food and the drinks! Cons: never knew about this place before:) more

Always a good time!! 2/6/2008

This place is always a good time. The best spot in the neighborhood for good bar food. The kitchen stays open late most nights. The drinks are mostly well priced. Beers are cheap and they usually have a DJ or band playing. Nice place to grab some beers, chill out and watch a game. Not pretentious like the only Alley bars. just a comfortable, friendly vibe. Pros: Patio in summer more

Best Food & Drinks in the area!!! 6/20/2007

Sweetwater's new menu is outstanding. Nothing too fancy. Just about 10 great sandwiches and excellent burgers. It's by far the best option in the area for a quick lunch. Not to mention they have an outdoor patio and a great beer selection. The cute waitresses don't hurt either!!! Pros: Great food, Patio more

Disgusting Service - Did not even enter the bar. 5/21/2007

I was with a party of 18, we had arrived via a party bus at about midnight. There was a short line. 16 of my friends entered the bar. Myself and a female friend were outside the bar. Upon approaching the doorman, another of our female friends came out to ask if we could be let in. \r \r The doorman immediately responded by telling both of the women to show their 't**s' when they said no, he said there was no way we were getting in. This is no way to treat customers or women. \r \r This is a bar in Boston, not a fraternity at some college.\r \r Needless to say, we promptly called our friends and all left. Cons: Disgusting level of customer service. more

Sweetwater Rules!!! 8/9/2006

My friends and I go to Sweetwater all the time. I used to think the Alley was just a place for college kids to get wasted but I was wrong. Sweetwater is the most down to earth neighborhood bar in town. They have a great menu for lunch and dinner. Their kitchen is open to 1am everynight. The outside patio is some of the best people watching in town. They also host a trivia night on Tuesdays and have live music Weds-Sat. Sweetwater is great. Love the Staff! Pros: Staff, Lots of Beers, Good inexpensive food more

Bargirl 6/6/2004

Great to chill afterwork & escape some of the pretentious bars...met three friends sat on the patio in the sun & shared PBR pitchers. Everything is sooooooooo cheap and the food was exactly what we were looking for: the best HOT calamari, fab. spinach & artichoke dip and I had a bite of the ""blue burger"", which was amazing. I also tried a seabreeze margarita v. refreshing...next time will try one of the other six margs. on the menu:) Highly recommended Pros: Inexpensive, low-key, awesome margaritas more
