Sorry, so late in adding a Review for Sissy Ks in downtown Boston Harbour ⚓!After a Harbour Whale 🐳 watching boat trip I needed FOOD! Found Sissy Ks. Great late afternoon atmosphere and I got my Boston Harbour Fish and Chips Dinner! And a couple of Beers!Lovely staff, especially the senior lady boss!This is Half the $-£ price of the Tourist Quincy Market, 50 metres away! Far better Value! Much nicer fresh cooked food! Great Pub Beer 🍻 selection! Proper friendly Staff and other customers! I wish I had found Sissy Ks much earlier on my trip to Boston, MA.!This proper Pub Bar serves Gastro-Pub Food in a great real Pub Bar feeling! Sissy Ks is also a proper LGBT accepting Bar!Do NOT go to the Quincy Market!Do not pay Tourist prices for food!Visit this real Bar, Sissy Ks, instead!I will return when I get back to Boston, MA!Donald - from Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧

I stopped by for a drink after a long day, and the bartenders were very polite and personable; they recommended a few local beers for me to try. It was fun to watch people doing karaoke.

Zoe is the worst server ever. It was my best friends birthday she barely checked on us and slow. We got drinks faster at the bar 😭. Don’t bother sitting at a table, especially on a weekday like the service is horrible just go to the bar. Servers not friendly not the type of place to sit around at

Friendly waitress, however she was not attentive, did not come to see if we needed more drinks. Guys, the ketchup was fermented. The food was bland as all get out. 4 very different meals and all of us were all underwhelmed. Our daughter lives on mozzarella sticks and for 12.99 and 3 triangles did NOT eat them. Best thing here were the fries and air conditioning. The bathrooms were not clean either. Overall I wish we went somewhere else. We followed our meal up with a shake from shake shack and wish we had dinner here instead.

I have hosting about ten events at Sissy’s, and each one is absolutely amazing. Bill and the staff do everything to make sure everything is executed seamlessly. Food, DJ, kind bartenders, and allowing us to come in a little early to decorate. We cannot thank them enough! If you’re looking to host an event, I cannot recommend them enough!

This is the 2nd time I have been to Sissy Ks (last time was 3 years ago and I figured this guy would be gone by now) and both times the DJ for karaoke is SO RUDE. For literally no reason too. God forbid you ask a question. He talks to people like they are stupid and I am honestly shocked this man still has a job here. The bar staff have always been super friendly but for people that enjoy karaoke- this guy is horrible to talk to. Literally the absolute worst and it seemed like the other staff were scared to even speak to him. I cannotttt imagine ever having to work with somebody like him day after day, I feel bad for the other workers. If you wanna do some fun karaoke- do NOT come to this place.

Sissy K’s is always a guaranteed fun time. Karaoke at this place is a riot! The food is typical bar food. Drinks are fantastic. You go for the karaoke and good times with friends. Never fails me for a great time.

I was here with family and friends. We had Zoe as our server and she was talking badly about us to her coworkwers that we were ordering drinks from the bar instead of through her, even though she did not check on our table ONCE. When I approached her and said how I want to order drinks through her, she dropped our check off at the table. Horrible service but definitely a fun place as long as you don’t have Zoe as a server. Zoe was a total mood kill. Good fun for karaoke but like if u get Zoe as ur server RUNNNNNNN!!! ***Real review***

We came in after the place next door ran out of lobster for lunch. Ended up getting margaritas and chowder too (at a great price)! Had a great time with friendly staff and delicious food. Would definitely recommend visiting for lunch on a hot summer day.

We were hot and looking to eat in a cool AC air. Came across this little place and went in.I got the Cowboy burger without the BBQ sauce, (just not a fan of sauce in my burger) with side of onion rings. It was one of the better burgers Ive had in a while. It came with thin fried onion rings, bacon and cheese and lettuce & tomatoes. It was cooked to the perfect doneness and so delicious. The side of onion rings was amazing, it was crunchy and crisp, not soggy or oily or overly battered. If you go I recommend the onion rings!!!I had a couple of margaritas with it and they werent bad either, but they werent as good as the onion rings.

The food here is really good. especially the chipotle bbq chicken. it’s the perfect combination of crunchy, tender, saucy and flavorful. my partner loves the lobster mac and cheese. recently my order from the restaurant wasn’t correct. i ordered through uber and they gave me such a hard time about it. however after a few tries reaching out to the restaurant. since the manager or owner was out of office due to health conditions. there was a delay in resolving the situation. once the manager was back not only did he rectify the situation he went above and beyond to ensure that i was a satisfied customer. thank you again for being a company that cares about how their customers feel and the overall experience with your restaurant. you have a customer in me.

Great atmosphere quiet and laid back for lunches. Good and reasonably priced drinks and food during the day.I have been there 2 times before for lunch and had a great time, absolutely enjoyed the stuffed shrimp and cold drinks served in chilled glasses.The third time did not go so well. Not only did we find strands hair in the nachos we ordered but there were more hair strands in the drinks we ordered as well. That really put a damper on this otherwise great place.My advice is look closely at your drinks and food before consuming anything and save yourself the hussle!!!!

Our food took way too long. Food was ok. Drinks were watered down. & the service absolutely TRASH. When the server (white & blond) brought over the food to our small little table, I started to move things around to make the process easier for her & accidentally spilled my full drink in the process, mind you she watched it spill, didn’t even offer me a new one & when I asked for a new one bc it literally spilled over she charged me for a full new one! Like??? Girl I’ve never met such a stingy establishment that didn’t even both trynna rectify situations. That girl was so condescending about the situation too. Dont recommend you come here. They have better drinks two bars down at the wild rover taven!

Friendly bartenders, good food, great prices. Finding that in downtown Boston, steps from overpriced Faneuil Hall, is great luck. ½ price appetizers for happy hour? Awesome. (Discount alcohol for happy hour isnt allowed in Mass.)

The food was great! I wasnt a huge fan of the fries, but otherwise the pepperoni pizza, the nachos, and the drinks were great!Our waitress was attentive as much as she could be, but as more and more guests came in it got a bit harder to get her attention, but still a great waitress!The atmosphere was great as well. Pretty on par with Irish pubs and a bar in general.I would definitely recommend this place.

I have loved this place for decades. The staff is absolutely awesome. They are so personable, responsive and friendly.The food is so yummy. I love the blackened chicken pasta, it is so good.They have karaoke 7 days a week so get ready to perform or just chill like I do and clap along.

It was about 2 pm, the fanueil hall market was croweded. We decided to keep walking and just a few steps from there this place with a small bar on one side and sort of family section on the opposite side gave us the satisfaction of a good burger. Im from Maryland, but in my next visit, I would definitely go back to try the other burger options. They have more in the menu, but I was looking to have a good burger.

Review №31

Our first visit was stellar. This time, however, was nowhere near. The staff is still great. Nachos still good. But, a pub crawl was visiting upstairs where the DJ was louder than the worst inconsiderate neighbor. The noise was too loud to have a conversation. Bummer.

This was a super random stop for us from Ohio and it ended up being lit. There were so many people having a good time. We got to karaoke and stay out past 12. It was like a fever dream since most bars out our way close at 10pm since COVID. It was great to have fun again.

Sissy K is a nice dig close to Quincy Market to grab food and share a drink with friends. The nachos and fish and chips are great. The night life which kicks off around 8 included karaoke on the first floor and little night club on the 2nd floor. Both sections were lit. I definitely needed this night out dancing and having fun. Great drink specials.

Review №39

Nestled near Faneuil Hall in Boston, Sissy’K presents itself as an energetic pub with a unique appeal of karaoke and dance. With karaoke offered on the first floor and a dance floor on the second, it serves as a vibrant destination for those seeking a lively night, making it a hit spot for bar crawls or bachelor parties.Overall Service: 3.5/5Beverages: 3.5/5; Service: 3.5/5, Ambiance: 4/5, Cleanness: 3/5The drinks are acceptable, yet they could greatly benefit from some creativity and an expanded range. The staff are commendable for their attentiveness and efficiency, adding to the overall pleasant experience. I enjoy the ambiance at SissyK. The two floors, each offering a distinct form of entertainment, create a dynamic and vibrant atmosphere that is hard to ignore. You can enjoy a carefree night of singing and dancing, all under one roof.Area of improvement: A notable issue was the mens bathroom door that failed to provide proper privacy

They only take passports here for non US citizens. Super unprofessional and unhelpful. Its super unsafe to take your passport out on a night drinking. Highly recommend visiting the bars nearby that accept drivers licenses and have better service. They also dont know what a NEXUS card is, which is a legal replacement of passports. Dont go here.

Been coming here for 6-8 years.Got off of work and had been to one bar before where I ate dinner and had a beer .Doorman said I was too energetic and happy so I couldnt go in. That I was tooo drunk cause my energy was high.And then he told me to meet him at 2 am so he can bash my black face into the curb. Used to be one of my favorite places. I always brought 6 or 10 ppl with me. Cause o loved the karaoke slash dance floor better than honk Kong. Now I have to watch my back for an angry doorman.Not what It used to be

Review №44

I had a good time there ! They have Karaoke on the first level and a dance floor on the second level. The DJ was good and everyone there is friendly. If your looking for a place to bring friends too and to party the best time to go is on a Friday or Saturday nights. Theres no cover charge. The only thing that you have to worry about is parking. I prefer taking uber or a train. I dont know how the food is because I only went there for entertainment.

Review №46

The food is pretty good but the bathroom situation for guys is a travesty, why is there a camera outside the bathroom pointing directly at the urinals in a gross bathroom with a door that doesn’t seem to close. If it was the woman’s room they’d already be shut down. I get the whole deal with bathrooms in a bar, it’s where most of the problems occur, but that doesn’t mean you can take away the privacy of the bathroom, just hire better bouncers that solve the problems before they become one.

Review №47

If Im dropping money on drinks, I expect them to taste good. This place made 3 terrible drinks and had the audacity to charge for the bad ones.The staff were all standing around on their phones instead of waiting on customers. It took forever to get their attention to come over and fix the drinks that tasted disgusting.The fact that they charged us for the terrible ones that were not drinkable... I will NEVER go back. absolutely ridiculous. They should be ashamed of that.

Definitely a fun place to go with friends. They have a wide variety of drinks, including many creative mixed drinks. Service isnt very great, though. We ordered a pizza once and it just never came, though we were charged for it (which they respectfully refunded). Waiters can be rude sometimes. Food is good, especially the chicken fingers

Review №53

When I checked the place online the reviews and pictures encouraged me about it. My friend and I went there looking around in disappointment compared to what we saw and read online. There was nothing much in there but rock and roll music, small bar area, and tables and seats to eat. The waiter came around like five times to check on our order, but didnt expected we were making plans on our next move. Once we decided on a different place to branch off and about to leave, we felt bad for the waiter who wasted her time to check on our order.

Im not completely sure what to say about this place. It can be fun, but it also smells - a lot. I would NOT eat there, but it is a decent place to go on a bar crawl or to start your night out. The drink prices are decent and they have an interesting/fun dance floor upstairs. While I think Ive timed out of Fanueil Hall, it is a legend that people need to experience at some point.

Loved this place on my visit to Boston. The bartender the 5 dollar margaritas. It right next to the Quincy market I met some amazing people at sissy ks.i did not eat there but the food looked and smelled amazing. The music was great. And it was mixed crowd of people which was great I would recommend and go back again and again whenever I go to Boston!

Very rude staff, watery overpriced drinks and way too overcrowded on Saturday. Took us in when there was no place to stand inside. We made a queue for the first floor(dance floor) stood 30 minutes waiting near the stairs and then they almost pushed us out of the bar for waiting in a queue. also they charge double the advertised cover fee and do not accept mass ids

Review №59

If I could give zero stars, I would. My husband and I literally JUST tried to eat here and we were turned away. The “door man” (I’ll call him,) claimed that my husband had too much to drink when the two of us haven’t had anything to drink this evening. All I can think is that we were turned away for having an out of state license (I noticed the ID sign on the door after the fact) which we’re a military couple and visiting from out of town. Very disappointed and absolutely WILL NOT attempt visiting this establishment ever again.

Review №60

Came here Friday night when everything else was either not cooking at 11pm or too over priced. This place fit the bill and I had a great time. I didnt sing in the karokee but I sure had fun watching the other drunkards sing it! Food was good, although drinks couldve been cheaper (like all bars). Service was good too, so thank you to the two young ladies that treated us to a great night out!

Review №61

While visiting Boston, we chose to dine here because of location. The service was mediocre at best. The food was NOT worth the price. We waited an hour to get our food. Ordered a medium steak and it came out rare with a side order missing. They took the steak back and brought out the missing side without the steak. Once we did get the steak, it was charred black. The mashed potatoes had pieces of uncooked potatoes in them. The asparagus was hard, very under cooked. And the chowder was watery. I would never dine there again.

Great place to host private events! I hosted a fundraiser party of about 40 people at Sissy Ks, we had the upstairs all to ourselves for 3 hours and a private dj. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made for a wonderful event. Food and drinks were great, and staff was exceptionally personable, helpful, and fun. Bill especially, the event manager, was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

One of the best local bars around! I worked there for a bit and am so happy I can now enjoy as a regular customer. Amazing staff and cheap drinks. Great spot for some karaoke! They have contests with cash prizes sometimes as well so you should ask about it to see what’s going on that month! Dance floor upstairs. 2 for 1 appetizers til 1am!! Yeah you heard me. The DJs are incredible. Gets rowdy for sure and is not always for the faint of heart, but it’s a wicked fun time and I can’t recommend this place enough

Ordered delivery. Asked for no lettuce or tomato, and that was not honored. The most disturbing part was the spinach dip was put in the bag sideways, so it spilled out everywhere, ruining half the food. Why on earth would someone put something saucy in sideways?! That makes zero sense. The food I was able to eat was meh. Don’t waste your money.

Review №71

If youre looking for a night out with rude staff and overpriced bad drinks then Sissy Ks is the place for you. It is impressive how unprofessional some of the staff are. This was consistent throughout the night but most of this I assumed was due to the staff being stressed from being busy. However shockingly even when the downstairs bar wasnt busy the same attitude from staff remained. For example despite the fact that I was the only person ordering, in response to my question What largers do you have? the barback promptly shouted back I DONT F$@#ING KNOW. Im very confused as to why the staff were always so ready to try engage in a verbal altercation. Perhaps it was due to them consistently doing shots behind the bar.

My friend and I had a girls trip to Boston during Thanksgiving weekend. We visited Faneuil Hall and needed a great spot for reasonably priced dining... Sissy Ks WAS IT!!!! I ordered the seafood casserole. It was AMAZING!!!! The waitress was nice and they played great music. The menu had a ton of selections and prices were very reasonable. It was tough to chose with so many great places for eats and drinks, but we made the perfect choice! When back in the Boston area, I will definitely be back!!!

Would give less if could. Came from hours away cause I heard so much good stuff about this place. Only for the bouncer to not let me in cause I didnt have a drivers license. I had a state ID from Massachusetts and he refused to let me in, im 26 by the way. It was b.s I was looking forward to the chicken tenders but its okay cause every other club we went to that night, I didnt not have that problem! They let me in and had to time of my life!

Firstly the food was garbage, paid 94$+taxes for sea food and other specials which was have tasteless, felt like all the sea food in there was just wasted. Secondly we ordered the food an hour back and took more than hour to get our order and when we asked why was it late they said they were making it, when we got our order it was clearly put under the light for so long the whole upper layer of food that was served was dried and hard. Except it is in good location it doesn’t have anything else to go there.*** please don’t waste money here for food*** except fries they were good.

We were in Boston for my daughters birthday and were trying to find a place that was open( that was hard lol) and looked a little lively. Found sissy ks online and it ended up being almost across from our hotel. Glad we did. Drinks were good. Staff was awesome. Food was good. They had music on and Im pretty sure they do karaoke a little later. Definitely worth stopping by for a drink and try the fried pickles.

Review №81

Waitress was rude, and barely came to our table. Spilled drinks on friend and didnt apologize. It like she couldnt care less. Took over an hour for food to arrive, and food was extremely cold. Could have been slightly excused if our waitress paid attention to our table at all and brought more drinks. Saw many groups leave because service was so slow. Table beside us ordered drinks, waited 30 minutes and didnt get them, so they left.

Jo
Review №82

Decent food, below-average drinks. Bathrooms genuinely terrifying. Worst part was how openly sexist the bar staff were. If a guy gets up on the the second floor raised section, they pull him down, because it apparently “starts fights.” I’m a cis straight man and I was up there for 2 minutes and no one but the staff gave a second thought to it. Not an open or inclusive place. Just another toxic bar.

The price of draft beers went up... Even during Happy Hour!! That was a big plus for the 20s crowd, and losing that has shown a lack of business.

Review №88

Went here with some friends for drinks and karaoke. Has a decent dance floor going on upstairs with more chill bar below. What angered me is I wanted some cheap shots, and when I asked how much the bartender said, Im not sure. I figured it couldnt be too expensive given Bud Light was $3-4 drafts, but was charged a whopping $9/shot, $27 for 3 shots. For how young the crowd is here, Im amazed they get away with such expensive shots, and that the bartender didnt help me understand the pricing AT ALL before she served me.

Review №92

Our server was inefficient. Took 25 minutes just to get a soda water with cranberry. It seemed like she was inconvenienced by us asking her for things, even though that’s her job. No silverware or napkins were brought out with our food, and she basically ran away the second she dropped something off. It was so hard to order anything from her because she would hear one drink and literally walk away. We were having a really good time for a while but eventually got frustrated with the service and left.

Review №93

Worst night ever! Drinks are juice literally. Then you have to pay to get inside and if by bad luck you go back outside for 2 seconds, you have to go through the line all over again... Inside, the dance floor is overcrowded with people thinking only about themselves and bumping into you without caring or apologizing. I dont recommended this place at all to anyone you better off paying a little bit more. At least you will have the place to dance and drinks that are worth it!

Review №95

This place is TERRIBLE. The bartenders are extremely rude. I ordered a blue moon and it tasted HORRIBLE but when I approached the bartender about it she said, Well no one else is complaining about it and didnt offer me another beer. The beer tasted very old and like it hadnt been changed in a while. Im assuming anyone drinking that beer was already drunk and didnt realize how horrible it tasted.. I will NEVER come back here ever again and I will deter ALL my friends from EVER coming here ever again.

Hands down worse experience by far at any bar I have ever been to. Total waste of time, unless you want to intentionally waste a whole hour waiting to be asked what you’d like for a drink.

Im from Colombia, Ive been here before and the music was great. But today the DJ was the worst ever. Everybody was sitting around, I felt in a high school party. He didnt know squad about music or parties. Waste of time. :( Id love to share a pic of everybody around me bored. No way! Please contract better DJs.

Not the classiest place ! But if you want to get drunk, sing and dance in the Faneuil hall area, this should be one of your stops !! Great karaoke nightsessions for people who have a song in their heart and a dance floor on the second floor for people who want to vibe .

Great experience here. Friendly service, good vibe and excellent food. I even lost my credit card there and they picked it up, saved it and remembered me.

We came here for a snack. We were not disappointed. The bartender Lauren is top notch. We will definitely seek Siisy Ks out on our next visit to Boston.

I was trying to go to the nightclub and they didn’t let me in because l showed them my state ID and they said I needed to have either my passport or drivers license with me. I do not drive that’s why l don’t have my drivers license. I don’t understand their reason for not accepting a MA state ID. I ended up going to black rose instead and even though this was my favorite night spot two years ago, l will never go back.

Definitely not the place to go to. Food was good beer was awful not worth the money, all beers were flat. And at the end was confronted by a waitress who was not happy with the tip we left. very confrontational and left us bemused is this customer service at its worst, I think so. Avoid this place

Wow. I just have no words for this place. If you are of color, do not step foot in this place. The workers at the door will turn you away. Racist vibes one hundred percent. Again, do not come here if you’re of color!

Yall have some of the best food around. Coming from someone who grew up here. Clean crisp flavors thats a level above the rest. Better than most sit-down places in bostonEdit: spicy chick sandwich and cowboy burger

My friend and I were looking to go out on a Sunday night in Boston. You know, hoping to paint the town red. We were disappointed by all the places we tried. They were either closed or dead (while still charging $25 a head lol). We decided to try Faneuil Hall as a last attempt and, thankfully, Sissy Ks came to the rescue. Not only was it packed, it was free to get in. Definite plus. They had great music and the staff were friendly. The dancefloor is on the smaller side, but it was enough space for us. Will gladly go back.

I was here for an afternoon drink...Nothing wrong with this place. Beer is cheap in an expensive town. Staff are attentive and engaging. And when you decide to leave (it took me a while) there is plenty to keep you entertained locally.

Stopped here randomly during a visit to Quincy Market. Im happy I did. Its not high end but the food is good and theres plenty of cold beer. Win win.

Review №120

The place is honestly fun but my reason for giving the place 3 out of 5 is because of he unprofessionalism from the staff as well as management. I was cussed out by a bartender for something that had nothing to do with me and when I asked to speak to management she told me to screw myself. All management did was tell me to order somewhere else. Wasnt happy with the service but the place is really fun.

Used to be a great place for after work. Wednesday went for trivia and the male bartender asked for my license and credit card. Sure for identity problems absolutely. Strange thing is he filed my drivers license away. I was carded to get it in so I thought man this is wierd especially being the only one they did this to. Got the tab in a hurry to catch my train and when I got home realized I never got my license back. Went Friday night (it’s a hike from my work and 90 degrees) to be told they don’t have it. I saw the girl thumb through 3 other drivers license. Gotta think why are they profiling and why the need for a license. You can’t have a policy in place and not follow through with it. It’s not even legal to keep licenses as forms of payment or tender. Welp looks like I’m going to have to buy a new one and wait 7 days. Thanks guys. Check with your legal team because I already have with mine. Not pursuing anything but hope a nice letter with cited case laws might change your minds.

This place can be fun if you have a big crew looking to go out together. Otherwise, the clientele can be hit or miss. Ten dollar cover is outrageous, but the drinks inside are reasonable.

Blech. Overpriced drinks with not a great selection. The upstairs is cramped and cold in the winter. The food seems okay, but in an area like Fanuiel Hall I cant help but compare it to better places like Ned Divines right across from it. Not my favorite place in the area at all.

Review №128

I would give it a 5 star, but I know why people are not giving it the deserved 4. It is what it is. Its a rando bar, with $1.50 bud light and coors, drunk karaoke, loud trivia, and overall a pretty hectic time. It gets packed weekend nights with college, but if you go there between 5-9 weekday nights your pretty much sure to have a bit of fun. And at $1.50 a beer, if you cant have a decent time here then I dont know whatll make you happy.

An older bouncer, probably in his 50s seemed to have a personal problem with my friend and I, we were dancing and singing when he came up to us and without a warning just told us to get out. If youre going to kick someone out for no good reason, at least save them some time and dont let us through the door.
