The Street Bar Boston Reviews
Exceptional stay at the Newbury Boston
I was in town for a family wedding. The reception was at the Contessa restaurant. The location of the Newbury is perfect as it was close to the church, the Leslie Emmanuel Chapel, and the Boston Garden for pictures. The food, accommodations, service,
Best birthday Hotel visit!
My husband and I spent my birthday weekend here. I have been coming to Boston for a decade and this was my first experience at the Newbury. I will never stay anywhere else. The room was lovely, the service impeccable, the street bar was great for coc
A wonderful stay for a weekend in the city
We had a lovely stay during our weekend in Boston. The rooms are spacious, a beautiful view of the park, clean and well stocked. The service from check in to the bell hop to the hotel bar was all lovely. The staff called us by name which is always a
Intimate spot for relaxing brunch
Conch was an amazing server, gracious and knowledgeable on the menu as well as the area. Truly enjoyed our brunch stop…conch made it special with her smile and energy
Outstanding!
My family and I (2 older adults, 1 young adult, and 1 teenager) stayed at The Newbury Boston from July 16–19 and couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Firstly, the location is absolutely unbeatable — just across the street from Boston Common and right
Above and beyond service from Shomili
Shomili (shasha) is a wonderful presence. Always very kind and helpful. Our entire stay she proved to be incredibly thoughtful.
Great food, excellent service
I have loved coming to The Newbury for years. The service here is always excellent, there is something on the menu for everyone, and the drinks do not disappoint. Shomili is the biggest reason I come so often. She always anticipates what I need and m
Lovely hotel in a great location overlooking Boston Common
A good quality hotel overlooking Boston Common - a lovely location. Very nice classy rooms with friendly, professional staff. Nice lounge for hotel customers offering complimentary pastries, fruit and macarons with coffee and free water during the
A lovely evening
We went to The Street Bar for just a drink. We were seated at a table by the window. Our waitress, Conch, was lovely. We ended up staying for dinner because we just didn’t want to leave! It was a beautiful evening!
Bartenders are incredibly rude.
I've never left a review in my life up until now, but this horrible service has to be noted. Do not go here unless you want to be judged by the staff and treated with blatant disrespect.
Absolutely awful service.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. Bartenders were rude and unpleasant. We didn't even stay for a drink.
Great room and ambience.
it would most definitely work better as a buffet though and the owners could make more money bc the wait staff pay little to no attention to the patrons in the room. They disappear forever, it's hard to be served, and they have no clue as to fl
Last there on a Thursday night in April.
As usual, the food was good but service was slow. But what really stuck out was what a raging a-hole the bartender was. This place really should be better.
Setting two stars.
For the experience. I know it hurts more than one. Service a bit unprofessional. Host mentioned that no tables were available. Was waiting for us to leave. Which we didn't : ). Then asked if we could sit at the bar. Host said yes, but at the &qu
I always enjoy the comfort and atmosphere at the Street Bar.
Service has always been great and the drinks are quite good too. I highly recommend this when you want a rest from shopping or sightseeing.

My husband and I stayed at Newbury, and we went here every day, if not twice, some days. We just really enjoyed the laid-back and classy ambiance. Not jam-packed with kids or young kids but more of an older crowd. We had no problems with finding a s

I visit here frequently; however, on this occasion, the service was exceptionally poor. I waited an extensive amount of time for my drink, and it seemed there was a lack of concern for the customers.
Love love! My favorite bar in the city.
Best staff, vibe, food, drinks. Disappointed (and very surprised) to see the negative reviews, to be honest.
Customer service has dropped considerably at this bar.
I don't expect much but if you're paying $20 for a cocktail a little customer service is appreciated. The staff seemed combative and not really there to serve.
Excellent the best choice
Nothing I say here will truly do justice to the exceptional service at this hotel. The Newbury is undoubtedly the best choice for accommodation in Boston. The entire team is phenomenal, going above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect. The roo
Excellent Stay!
My husband & I stayed at the Newbury for the 2024 Boston Marathon. The room was very quiet & nice with a comfortable bed. The customer service is outstanding. All of the marathon festivities are walkable, including bus pick-up race-day mornin
A great stay
Our room was very well kept. staff has been friendly and helpful. There was plenty of hot water unlike the four seasons where we stayed last year for the Marathon. The coffee, tea and pastries in the library were much appreciated as was the Monday mo
Horrible staff that are so aggressive and spit at me
I don’t really like to write reviews but I think needs to be addressed all the staff is great except the unprofessional valet staff who work outside . They seem to think that they own the street . I was waiting for my elderly mother who can not wal
This bar had a great gothic academic esthetic.
Great drinks and the beef pigs in a blanket were really good.
Nothing beats The Newbury
Best luxury hotel in Boston. The gym and views are fantastic as is the service. Beds are comfortable and turn down service excellent. Love the little library for morning coffee and reading. The location clearly cannot be beat as you can walk to any B

Fabulous stay in this luxurious hotel
Beautiful hotel in a premier location in Boston on Newbury Street across from the Public Garden. Our room was luxuriously appointed and the bathroom was gorgeous as well. We dined at Contessa, our favorite restaurant in Boston. Will definitely retu
Wonderful Hotel
This is a great hotel in a prime location in Boston. Located in the old Ritz Carlton building, it went through a massive refurbishment that has resulted in one of the best hotels in the Northeast. Staff are very efficient and very friendly The rooms
Superior hotel in Boston!
An extraordinary hotel! Beautiful design, amazing accommodations and stellar staff. I am a frequent traveler and was impressed by every facet of this hotel. Perfect location right on the park and steps from shopping as well. This hotel is a gem. I’

This bar was cute, the drinks were good- but honestly very over priced. Drinks were $20+ and yes they were good- but they weren't mind blowing and nothing to highly recommend- especially not for that price.
A most excellent experience.
That mixologist really knows their stuff. My new Boston go to cocktail and brunch joint.
Upscale spot perfect for date night drinks and light bites.
Wagyu pigs in a blanket were delicious, oysters were strong as well. Waitstaff was pleasant enough, they did mix up my wine order but I was happy with the alternative wine.
No better hotel
This was hands down one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Everything from the location, to the cleanliness of the room and hotel, to the excellent staff and food was excellent. The gym was also the best gym I’ve ever used at a hotel. I c
This place used to be my favorite dinner and drink spot in
This place used to be my favorite dinner and drink spot in Boston, that's until they decided to only allow patrons of the hotel to eat here. Very disappointing decision by the staff. Guess I'll have to find a new place to go.
Writing from the point of view of a Newbury hotel guest,
Writing from the point of view of a Newbury hotel guest, this place is a pure dissappointment. It looks nice, but you can't get in. Long lines, must have a reservation. Plus, the woman at reception is rude. I'm not trying to get into some swanky
Friendly and attentive bartenders who put on a game at our
Friendly and attentive bartenders who put on a game at our request. Our drinks were accompanied by an assortment of nuts, olives and chips on the house. Fantastic oysters. Would absolutely pop in here again.
This place is utter garbage.
The staff is highly inattentive and non apologetic. We arrived at 4:30pm on a Sunday, where it was not busy. We waited 20 minutes at the entrance for the host to arrive, as he was not at his post. We were offered and requested water 3 times. Eventual
Classy, bougie, swanky.
This is what you get when you hit the trifecta of amazing food, hand crafted cocktail and ambiance like you're in The Great Gatsby. The Street Bar is located on the....duh...street level of the Newbury Hotel. You know things are about to get classy
The drinks and service here are great, but I'm rating it
The drinks and service here are great, but I'm rating it low simply because the price. Over $20 for a cocktail is crazy. I understand because of the location but I wouldn't go back. There's plenty of amazing cocktail bars in Boston that are reasonabl
Great stay at The Newbury
Stayed via the Amex Fine Hotels program. This hotel is ideally located near Boston Commons and some amazing shopping. Small criticism- the breakfast choices in the Street Bar were far better than the Contessa upstairs. The Contessa was also agonizin
Finest Breakfast in the Northeast
We all know the Street Bar at the Newbury. Ritz, Taj, it has history. But, we stopped in for breakfast this week and it was the best. Service is simply excellent. Our waiters were just the best you've ever met. They had a full dining room and we
Extraordinary customer service and customer experience
Blending the new with the old world charm of this beautiful and historic hotel. The Newbury is exquisite. Wonderful accommodations. The staff was very professional, courteous and helpful. If you want to feel special and pampered, I highly recommend
Great hotel, Best Staff Ever
Great hotel in a prime location with the best staff we have ever experienced. From the bellmen to the room cleaning team, they are exceptional. The Street Bar and Contessa are first rate, even if they are not five-star. For the price, king bed standa
Almost perfect!
Best location, crazy friendly and helpful staff - everywhere - top to bottom! Amazing restaurant Contessa. Loved this place. For 5 stars though I would love water provided in room and a nicer bathroom amenity package. I called the hotel to see if
Loud Room and Rude Concierge
I stayed on the fifth floor, Park View , at the Newbury Hotel for business. First, despite the fact that I asked for a quiet room, the room was loud, and I could hear traffic and garbage trucks through the night. The concierge and staff were not help
Amazing stay at the Newbury!
The accommodations are lovely, the staff is efficient and helpful and the whole experience is fantastic. The location is perfect with many stores, restaurants, art galleries and park nearby. We will be back.
Exquisite
After an unforgettable overnight at this amazing Hotel , I took my children to the Valentine Tea. Not only was the tea , sandwiches and Dessert exquisite but the ambiance and service was as well. I can not say enough amazing things about this place

Another Great Stay in one of Boston's Finest!!!
The Newbury is a Gem in Boston. It is the Best Located hotel in the Back Bay. The staff is great. Everyone always makes you feel welcome. The bar is special and Contessa is a wonderful restaurant. The rooms are beautiful with wonderful bathrooms. T
Connect with users posting reservations for The Street Bar Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Street Bar Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Street Bar Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Street Bar Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at The Street Bar Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Street Bar Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
