Great experience here today! Arrived a bit early and they were very accommodating. Caitlin and the rest of the staff went above and beyond during our entire visit. I came from out of town and would definitely come back!

Another fantastic place to sing and eat as well! And they have karaoke contests like Hong Kong bar does, I believe it was July 2019 I was invited into one of these singing contests and was shocked at the end of the night to hear my name called that I won first place in this contest! The prize was amazing! People were cheering when they announced my name! I was absolutely shocked because there was some really good singers in there that night! First prize was $250! I was absolutely flattered! I didnt think I was going to win! A friend of mine needed crutches at this time and I didnt have any money to help her with to get the crutches, so it was a no-brainer when I won to help her get those crutches she needed badly! She cried when she got them! I thank God that he had Grace on me that night to be able to win that contest! There were ten of us all together and any one of them could have won! I was very honored to be a part of that! And I wrote about it in my first book through God called lifestories! Which hopefully it will be in publication by October or November 20/20, my good friend Gregory wants me to do a book signing with him leading the way at the Boston statehouse library when that comes to pass! Ill be honored to be a part of that as well!

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.

It was my fist time here but it won’t be the last!! Everything was amazing and the fried pickles were TO DIE FOR. Everything was clean and perfect. Great experience overall.

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.

Happened to stop in for dinner and had outdoor seating. Great weather, supper food and reasonable prices. The best part was our terrific waitress .. a Bunker Hill student Kaitlyn H. She was the cutest, sweetest accommodating waitress I’ve had in a long time. Thanks Kaitlyn!!

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.

The service was very nice and everyone was covid friendly. They also had a good selection of beers on their specials menu

Food and service were good. I would stick to more the pub fare type of menu items personally. I think they do a better job with that then the more expensive type dishes.

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!!!!

Review №21

Drinks are good and cheap but African Americans beware. You will be treated as a second class citizen. Didnt feel welcome in the establishment. For a karaoke bar, I didnt feel like I should be there. Some of the employees were welcoming but it wasnt enough to mitigate some of the other mistreatment. I recommend going to Hong Kong which is right next door to this establishment.

My friend and I had a girls weekend last week. We visited Faneuil hall and we needed a place to eat, so glad we found this place.And you had a lot to choose from the prices was really reasonable and the portions were great. We’re going to return to Boston within the new year absolutely stopping back here!

Stopped by last night (Tuesday) and the place was popping! Small dive-ish bar, with a dance floor/DJ upstairs. Only negative: Bathrooms are definitely sketchy. Drinks were a little on the pricey side, but the bartender was friendly and fast. We will be back next time were looking for something to do on a Tuesday!

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

Br
Review №32

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.

On vacation I found this spot by accident. It was lit on a Tuesday! They have karaoke and tables downstairs for dining. I tried one of their burgers and it was actually really really good. The server was attentive and helpful. The prices were good too for the location. Once you go upstairs you know its gonna be a good time. The energy was great and the dj was spinning hella jams. Nice little gem in Boston for sure

Review №36

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.

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.

Review №45

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 .

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!!!

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!

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.

Owners- You don’t allow instate over 25 local ids? Too bad google allows these reviews. It’s a shame you have such a good location and you put inexperienced bouncers out front. Lol, I have a lot of influence and I’m going to take pleasure in professionally and methodically destroying the reputation of your bar.

Bar in the main floor needs at least 2 bartenders! Water needs to be at a fountain, sink, or faucet. Music was bomb so that was lit bathrooms werent bad to be honest

Jo
Review №64

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.

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.

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!

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. Even during Trivia there was only one table willing to stay to participate. And the staff, not including our waitress, was completely inappropriate!! It was embarrassing.

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

Review №96

Boy is this a place dump or what. For someone that was in the nightlife industry and opened many venues, this place BY FAR is the worst one. Owners have no clue how to run a place rather spam every radio station with their lousy commercials. If you need to promote your venue on a weekend, you my friend should close down that business. Those that have businesses don’t need countless amount of ads.

Review №97

Came here with a few friends on the Thursday before New Year’s Eve, one of my friends was a little too intoxicated and got cut off.. completely understandable. As a result of that when I went to the bar to order myself a vodka cran I watched the bartender pour straight cran (no vodka) into a glass and hand it to me she asked again “you got a vodka cran correct?” I replied yes. She then proceeded to charge me for that without ever putting the vodka into my drink, not wanting to cause a scene I paid for the drink. A friend I was with had already asked to speak to manager at this point regarding a stolen wallet so I stuck around to also talk with him about being charged for a drink I did not get. Upon talking to the manager he immediately dismissed me saying I must have not been paying attention and then told me he would not discuss this matter further with me and walked away from me mid sentence. Extremely unprofessional, beyond me how this man is in any sort of managerial position when he is walking away from people mid conversation when they bring up any sort of complaint to him. This bar only cares about your money (and apparently stealing that money is okay in their eyes) and could care less about pleasing their paying customers. I will obviously not be back here and I would recommend that no one else comes here as well, it’s a seedy dive bar. If you want to go to a nice bar with pleasant bartenders there are several more in the immediate area, do yourself a favor and skip out on this mess of a place. We promptly headed over to the ginger man right around the corner after this ordeal and received excellent service and actually received the drinks we paid for.
