Customer Reviews
dbar has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 based on over 467 reviews on Google
I love this place. The food, drinks, and service are always excellent, and we are always happy when we come here. From my own perspective as an entertainer and DJ, I personally have not found the entertainment to be as enjoyable. I believe it is very important to understand the audience and create an atmosphere that fits the guests in the room. Sometimes it can feel like certain DJs focus more on their own musical preferences rather than what the crowd is responding to. That approach may work in a major nightclub setting, but in a local bar or restaurant, I feel the guests should always come first. This place clearly puts guests first when it comes to the food, drinks, and service. I just wish that same attention was reflected more in the music as well. That is only my opinion, and I share it with respect.
The food was amazingly delicious, the staff was friendly and sociable, the patio was perfect for dinner. I have a child who is picky eater but the staff came up with a solution for him to enjoy dinner with us and it worked out well for everyone.
Really enjoyed my meal at dbar for Dine Out Boston! We were served by Julian who gave us stellar service. I really enjoyed the pork shoulder tacos, which was interesting because I'm not usually into tacos. The entrees were universally over salted but still quite tasty and well made and presented. We loved the outdoor seating and decor. Looking forward to coming back.
What a great spot! Amazing and welcoming atmosphere. Super friendly staff! Hosted an event here and everything was great. Thank you to the staff and owners for creating a welcoming and inclusive venue with good food and great service. I didn't try the food, but from what I saw in our group, it was great. Thank you again and looking forward to visiting again.
Cute atmosphere great service and great food. The boar ragu over gnocchi was amazing. They said they are leaning more into the food then nightlife but still had Karoke at 10 pm. Will return
Dbar is always a good time. A local neighborhood spot that has flavorful food with delicious and smooth drinks. The best dish of the night was the pork belly mac & cheese. The sound of the pork belly being cut was enough to stop me mid conversation 😀 The burger was ok. The calamari was a special which was a sweet chilli, papaya salad situation that was good. The mussels were meaty and the tomato base sauce was good it was just missing the bread on the side. They didn't have any dessert options when I asked but I honestly didn't need any. I left feeling satisfied and had a great time dancing as well.
Stopped in after years of driving by. Now I wish I had stopped sooner. The space is beautiful dark wood. The food is delicious. The staff are decent humans you can talk to. I will be back soon.
