I had one of the worst experiences in a bar ever the other night. Â My friends and I were scouting out places for a birthday get together and stopped by the Whiskey Priest. Â We walked in and it smelled like sewerage. Â (only inside, didn't smell outside) Â The hostess was right in front of us (a blonde older IrisIh woman) and I remarked about the smell and asked what it was. Â She said if you don't like it, you can leave, the door is right there and pointed to the front door. Â
WTF? Â What a bitch!
I couldn't believe it. Â We walked right out. Â How incredibly rude. Â I will NEVER go in that place again. Â
I told the bouncers in the front (a couple older guys) and they were surprised and suggested we go next door.
In town for work and wanted an early dinner. Â Walked in around 3:30. A few people there but still early. Â They have more whiskeys than I've ever seen. Â The bar tender seemed very knowledgeable. Â There is a complete list of whiskeys and beers in the menu. Â Got the Killarney Chicken sandwich. Â Really, really good. Â Lots of things on the menu sounded good. Â For a quick drink and meal this place was perfect. Â Great location, the rooftop bar looks cool wish I could have stayed. Â Will go back in the future.
Review Source:I took some guys over for some drinks during lunch and was extremely disappointed with the service and the cocktails. We were ignored and then used as an arguing point between waitresses about who was going to actually serve us. When we finally did get service I ordered a Manhattan with a cherry and orange slice. I was given a horrible concoction that did not even resemble what I ordered and I was told by the bartender that "I cant find a cherry anywhere". Considering the bar was empty when we arrived I would have expected better service and at a bar called the "Whiskey Priest" a bartender that knows how to make drinks.
Review Source:Just dined here with a party of 8. The company was great but the service and food were lacking. My eggs benedict was dry where the eggs are supposed to be runny. Â When I asked for onion on the side I was given chopped white onions instead of a nice slice of red. Everyone at my table was missing something from their meals: dressing, sauce, even the strawberries on the waffle (one strawberry for the whole plate is laughable). Would not come back to dine again. Since gratuity was going to be added to our check anyway, the waitress hardly gave us her full attention, knowing full well she would get tipped anyway.
Review Source:We were in town for a conference and one of our vendors scheduled a dinner here. Â We were there on a Monday night. Â It was a group of 11 of us. Â This place is on the water, where did they put us???? Â Up front, at the front door, no view. Â The place was empty. Â Eventually, we put some tables together so we could have a water view. Â
The food was meh, a friend of mine got a ruben on a roll, no rye bread no 1000 island dressing. Â I had a pizza, it was ok. Â Service was ok as well. Â
I felt bad because our vendor felt bad about not doing his research, hence he is now a new yelp member! Â
However, if you're going there for drinks and drinks only. Â This place does have an amazing selection of Whiskeys and good beer selection, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else for food.
The onion soup had what looked like 2 deli slices of swiss cheese slapped across the top -- but the soup wasn't hot enough to melt it. Â It was also salty. Â In general, the food was just very average. Â The beer and drinks were fine and I like that they have the giant tv screens. Â But the volume of the music was ridiculous. Â No one could hear anything anywhere in the bar. Â Forget about talking - forget about screaming even. Â I couldn't recommend this place.
Review Source:When my friends suggested this bar for happy hour on Thursday after work, I (being the good Yelper that I am) checked their reviews and was pretty horrified by what I read. I tried to go with an open mind, though, and was pleasantly surprised.
My friends had chosen this place because of the rooftop deck. But, of course, it starting drizzling about an hour before we got there, so we were confined to the first level. Fortunately it has large windows, so we could still see the water and remember that we were at the Seaport. It was very busy and quite loud while we were there, and the crowd seemed to be energetic (aka multiple guys stroke up random conversations with us), young professionals in their mid-late twenties.
I was in a beer mood and wanted to try something new, and the bartender was very patient when I asked him a bunch of questions about the ones on tap that I wasn't familiar with. He asked what kind of beer I tend to like, offered suggestions, and even let me try two different ones before I chose! I wanted something summery so opted for The Big Wave, which was light and citrusy. The bartender described it as the "Hawaiian Bud Light." How could I pass that up?
My table also ordered some Irish nachos. They weren't the best nachos I've had.. I find it irritating when only the top chips get the cheese and topping lovin' and there's a mound of naked chips underneath. Also they advertise the bacon and bangers on the nachos, but we saw pretty little evidence of this. Oh well. It's bar food so your expectations can't be that high, and they managed hit the spot.
In sum, I think Whiskey Priest is a decent happy hour spot to have a beer and hang out casually with friends. I definitely want to check out the rooftop next time (and sample a few more beers for free)!
A friend and I walked here after a nice dinner at Yankee Lobster. We were carded at the door and the bouncer walked off with our out-of-state ID's... I guess to go check them against a guide book. He comes back and hands me my ID and says that my friend's ID is fake and he's not giving it back. We have to argue with him for several minutes to get her REAL driver's license back. We're 24 and 25 years old. Thanks for thinking we look younger than we are I guess.
If you're going to be strict about ID's, learn how to check them properly before confiscating someone's personal property. Definitely wont be coming back. RUDE.
This place is lowest of the low. Â It calls itself a "Pub" but even pubs have food. Â When you got here, it is packed with 20lings that frequent here, dress like this is a nightclub. Â It isn't. Â It is devoid of food and it is devoid of atmosphere. Â It is not a welcoming place if you are over 25. Â Sad that people wait in line here when there are so many better places. Â Don't be fooled by this place if you want a great night out, walk on by.
Review Source:Came here because it had a roof deck. Â Fortunately, no lines when we got there around 7pm on a Friday. Â All the tables were taken up. Â We put our names on the waitlist because we wanted some food. Â Grabbed a few drinks from the bar (seems to be reasonably priced compared to bar tab we just paid at Legals Harborside). Â
The host was super sweet - as I checked on our status every 15mins. Â We waited for 45min-1hr and finally got a table. Â Our server was no where to be seen. Â No greet for at least 15mins...checked back to the host to see if she can send the server over. Â 10mins later...finally the server showed up to take our order. Â No apologies or anything. Â After dropping off the food - never saw the server for the rest of the evening. Â Ended up opening a bar tab and ordering our drinks from the bar directly. Â When we're ready to go - searched for server to pay the bill - no where to be found (of course the now is jammed pack). Â
On my way to see if the host can pull the bill - I bumped into the server...so ended up getting the bill from her. Â No followups on how our meal went ect.
Overally - I say don't bother with this place...pay the premium and go Legals Harborside.
I really enjoyed this place. It's right on the waterfront, the decor and ambiance is nice and I loved the music they played. The food is good, but they are rather limited with dessert choices (Baileys Cheesecake or Molten Lava Cake. I opted for the Molten Lava cake which is about the size of a a coffee mug bottom). It's definitely pub food style, but tasty. There are probably a hundred differed whiskeys, a good selection of beer and some wines, but no mixed drinks listed on the menu.
My only complaint was that while my waitress was nice, she didn't come by often enough to check up on us, and when she did, she zoomed away really fast. I went with my roommate from college who I love and could talk to for hours, but if this was a blind date situation, you'd run out of topics fast while waiting for the server.
I'd come here again. Loved the atmosphere (bar scene for 20-40somethings) and enjoyed the food!
Went on a weekend late in the afternoon when it wasn't too crowded. Â
Shitty food and shitty service. Â
I got a "turkey club" that looked like it came out of a middle schooler's brown paper bag, complete with cold white bread, not that much cold turkey and shitty pale tomatoes. Â useless side salad that was embarrassingly small. Â The food took forever, the drinks took forever, and the waitress didn't seem to care.
The Whiskey Priest is a one trick pony... Â It's a great spot for the after work drinks on a sunny, Summer Evening. Â
Having worked in South Boston and/or the Financial District for many years, Whiskey Priest is a convenient spot for Happy hour. Â It's a wonderful spot from June - August when Boston weather is at it's hottest. Â It's home to basic pub food, but nothing that's done particularly well.
Pros: Â Beer. Â Whiskey. Â Drinks. Â The roof deck overlooks the water which is really great. Â It's located near both the World Trade Center and the Boston Convention Center. Â A great spot to kill some time. Â Cute waitresses. Â
Cons: Â The staff isn't super friendly. Â The food was ok, but not great. Â Everything is priced more than you probably want to pay for the quality you receive. Â The roof deck can get crowded, since it's pretty small. Â
Summary: Â Stop in for a beer on a Summer afternoon or evening. Â Get an app if you're hungry. Â Expect to pay $15 to park, if you can't find a metered spot. Â The restaurant itself has no parking as it's in Boston. Â
Alternatively. Â Walk down the street to the Harpoon Brewery. Â Take a door of the place for $5 and sample a whole bunch of beers. Â Also, Jerry Remy's sports bar is close by and a bunch of decent restaurants.
This place sucks. Â You're better off running an online search for restaurants in Boston with a roof deck & choosing any one of those restaurants instead of this one. Â In fact, you would be better off walking to the nearest dumpster & eating out of one of those instead - this way you wouldn't have to deal with the pathetic customer service this place offers & still get the view of the harbor without having to pay through the nose for the garbage this place tries to sell you.
The interesting thing is - I chose this place for my birthday after reading all the negative reviews on Yelp & still chose to come here (thinking that Yelp reviewers are typically exaggerated versions of the truth). Â But the reality is - this place really does suck. Â It sucks so much that I created this Yelp account just so I could write this review (in fact, so did many others on this page). Â So do yourself a favor, don't make my mistake & think this place "couldn't possibly be that bad".
The event that sparked my outrage happened yesterday. TEN of my friends came here to eat a 3 o'clock lunch & enjoy the roof deck. Â As far as I'm concerned, the host should probably be demoted to an easier job that doesn't require her to do math & smile at the same time - because she promptly brought us to a table that only had four chairs. Â For those of you reading this who are a little slow - THAT'S SIX CHAIRS LESS THAN WHAT WE NEEDED. Â I asked if I could move two tables together & she told us that we could only move the chairs & not the table - which meant this table now had ZERO chairs - making it useless. Â After she walked away we moved the table anyways. Â Since it only sat two people, it wasn't big enough to accommodate all of us, but we made the best of it & grabbed some extra chairs away from other tables not currently in use.
The sun was shining quite intensely that day, so we wanted to exchange our extra small table for a bigger table with an umbrella.  This would also serve the purpose of accommodating our ten-person arrangement.  Upon noticing that the people sitted  next to us got up, we asked our server if we could make the exchange - she said yes.  However, shortly afterwards, the host came out and told us we couldn't move the table because there was a wait to sit up here.  I told her she should probably finish accommodating the people on the deck before sitting more people & asked to speak with her manager.  She said we couldn't speak to the manager because she was the host.  Due to her incompetence & my expertise in leading questions, I quickly got her to admit that "must" have a manager & that I would like to speak to him.
This was when some guy in a red shirt came out calling himself "Joe". Â Joe was easily the least professional restaurant manager I've ever come across in my life. Â He didn't introduce himself, didn't shake my hand until I initiated a handshake, & didn't help the situation whatsoever. Â I explained that our two tables (one for a party of four, & the other for a party of two) were simply not big enough to accommodate our large party of ten & that we would like to exchange the smaller table for a larger table (& also benefit from the umbrella). Â He said "No, you can't do that." before I could even finish explaining the story, & he turned his back to me and walked away. Â That's when I told him we would have to take our party of ten elsewhere, whereby he responded with a few explicative choice words & something to the liking of "alright, see ya later."
See the thing is - Joe's a big shot. Â He thinks because he manages a restaurant on the water that he can virtually get away with anything & the guests will keep on coming. Â And yes, that may be true - Joe probably can & will get away with his poor managerial style - this restaurant won't be closing in the near future. But the fact of the matter is - research has shown that negative Yelp reviews really do have an impact on the bottom line of a restaurant's profits.
Let me pose this question to the partners at Whiskey Priest - IF YOU'RE RESTAURANT IS IN ONE OF THE BEST LOCATIONS IN THE ENTIRE CITY & OFFERS A VIEW NOT MANY OTHER RESTARAUNTS CAN COMPETE WITH - WHY IS YOUR YELP SCORE SO LOW? Â Is it because that's the ONLY thing your restaurant has going for it? Â I'd say the answer to that question is Yes.
You're bottom line is seriously being affected by the poor management & customer service you offer. Â That leads to lower quality clientele & decreased experienced wait staff wanting to work there due to poor gratuity percentages per table. Â Get your act together.
To add insult to injury, the people who were ultimately seated at the table of four, were only two guests. Â If we had been allowed to exchange the tables - everyone would had been happy & we easily would have racked up a $500+ bill.
This place sucks - don't ever go here.
Unless you are coming here for the whiskey selection...the only thing this place has going for it is the fact it has a deck on the water.
The staff was rude, our drinks were over priced (and we had to go get them ourselves because our server took over 30 mins to greet us at our table), and we had to wait 45 mins for our table as the hostess stated they were 'understaffed'.
1. Staffing issues are not my problem. If there are 10 open tables and you tell me I have to stand there for 45 mins and WAIT instead of being SEATED AND WAITING...I'm not going to be happy. There is absolutely no reason why my party of 4 couldn't sit down.
2. Once I DO sit down (AFTER 45 MINS OF WAITING MY TURN FOR THIS GRAND MOMENT!!) do not make me wait ANOTHER 30 mins to be greeted. My boyfriend actually had to go downstairs to the bar to get us water and drinks. Needless to say, we didn't wait to order food. We left and went next door. It was worth it.
3. Three out of the four of us in my party either currently work or used to work in the restaurant industry. We alllll get that nobody wants to go in to work on a sunny holiday. But suck it up Whiskey Priest staff...and invest in some remedial customer service training.
I'm completely on the fence on whether I'll ever bother going back to give this place another try. Particularly because leaving to go next door to the Beer Garden turned out to be a great decision. Jury's out...
I came here a few weeks ago during the first nice day of spring to sit on the deck for drinks & lunch. It was dead when we first got there (11:30-ish), but quickly became packed. The white sangria I ordered was strong, and the nachos we got for the table were actually quite tasty, but had very little of the Irish bacon that was advertised. Our lunches (Grilled Cheese Panini and California Wrap) were fine, nothing special but not bad. I'd somehow think the food was better if it wasn't so overpriced--I feel like the Priest gets away with a lot because of its location. I can't say I won't be back, because I probably will on a nice day. Enjoy the Priest for a good time near the water, just don't come looking for a gourmet meal.
Review Source:I don't get why there is such a low rating here. Â I get that the food is kinda shitty. Â But hey you can pay quadruple the price and get a luxurious meal at legals or del friscos so you really shouldn't try to compare. Â You come here to drink and that's just about it, in my opinion. Â It's great for a post boat cruise drink sesh. Sure, it gets packed. Â But where else are you going to grab a drink on the water that is much better than here?
They have a ton of whiskey's (hence the name) and a large beer selection as well. Their waitresses are also really nice from what I have experienced after the 4 or so times I have been here.
I would say get here kinda early (more drinking time anyway), get yourself a nice roofdeck spot to post up at and enjoy the warm weather months over the water.  And even if you cant get on the roof the place is lined with windows that open up so you can still catch the breeze off the water. Granted, if the  weather is shit, this place is utterly pointless.
Where do I begin? We came here for my roommate's 22nd, and wound up falling behind the main group by ~20 min. When we got there, my roommate came outside to meet us and the bouncer promptly kicked her out and back into the line, and when we reached the front we got absolutely nothing but attitude. Then, when we got inside and up to the register, security there made us pay for her AGAIN even though she had a stamp on her had proving she'd been inside before. Apparently stamps mean nothing, or the bouncers are just out to overcharge you while being disgustingly rude about it.
Well...after that debacle we went inside. It smells like stale beer/sweat/piss, no matter what area of the bar you're in. When you finally make it to the bar, be prepared to pay $6 for a bud light or empty your wallet for a mixed drink served in an insultingly small glass. The clientele is a mix of attractive-when-they-were-in-their-20's thirtysomethings, nicely dressed girls too drunk to walk without assistance, and plenty of bros.
After the welcome we received at the door and how ridiculously expensive this place is, I will never be back. At least the bar service was fast.
We were in Boston for PAX East 2013, and the BCEC had dining shuttles going out to various areas of the city to restaurants. Whiskey Priest was one of the stops so we decided to give it a try, despite the reviews, because it was so close. The Irish lady at the front and another hostess were pretty awful... not friendly at all. But we didn't have to wait long for a table (even though the place was packed) so we let it go.
Our waitress was the opposite- very friendly to us. One of our party had been wanting to try clam chowder for the first time so he ordered it here. He really loved it. We all ordered the Blarney burger. They give you about half a slice of Irish bacon... that's it. But I thought it was a decent enough burger, perfectly cooked. The prices were average. The location is great.
It wasn't super amazing, but at the time of this review, the average for this place is 2.5 stars and we definitely thought our experience was that.
I wish zero stars was a possible rating on Yelp... DO NOT go to Whiskey Priest for brunch. I was staying with a group of friends a nearby hotel in the Seaport area, and after a late night out we decided to head to brunch. We came across Whiskey Priest first, and it looked pretty empty inside - we though this would be great for accommodating our large group. Rather, we should have taken this as a sign and ran for the hills.
The first sign of weirdness was when we asked if they were serving brunch, and our waitress said "oh.. I think so." She couldn't find any brunch menus, so she had to go into the back and print some out for us (strange). Every member of my party ordered some type of egg dish - three eggs any style, breakfast sandwich, omelet, etc. Our food took a very long time to come out, and when it did, many of the orders were incorrect. The food was cold, the eggs were overcooked, rubbery, and virtually inedible. The breakfast potatoes were bland and unappetizing, and my bacon looked like it hadn't even been cooked. My breakfast sandwich that was supposed to come on a "homemade croissant" came on a stale, store bought kaiser roll.
I think this is the first brunch experience I've ever had where no one touched their food. We were actually all looking forward to going to the airport / train station to get some normal food after leaving Whiskey Priest and checking out of our hotel. To top it all off, our check came and we were charged for 2 extra entrees, and 4 orders of toast that were supposed to come with the meals. Our waitress was perfectly nice about correcting the bill, but she must have been new - she was clueless and took an eternity to run the one credit card that we were paying with.
The one thing this place has going for itself is a nice view of the Harbor. I can't speak to what it's like coming to Whiskey Priest for drinks, but I will definitely not be returning because of this horrible experience!
There was a line out the door at Jerry Remy's, so we came here. Â No wait at all...should have been a red flag. Â Service was slow and disinterested; I didn't really care at first, because we were watching a football game. Â
I got the fish and chips. Â When it came, there were pieces of fish stuck together with raw egg batter in between them. Â So the Sunday afternoon crew doesn't know how to operate a fryolator? Â I complained to the waiter, who brought over the manager. Â He graciously offered to replace and comp the meal. Â Fine--I respect people who admit errors and try to make amends. Â However, when my fish and chips 2.0 came out, it was exactly the same problem: Â raw batter.
So you're in the kitchen, and you've just been told that you have to make another plate of fish and chips, because the last one you sent out was undercooked. Â You would check, right? Â You would probably look at the first plate to confirm what they were talking about, and you would certainly check the second plate to make sure the batter was cooked to crispy.
You would. Â They don't.
OK, so the name is great. Â And if you're a fan of Graham Greene, you'll be drawn to drink here. Â
And the back of the dining room has windows facing the water. Â That's really nice. Â You'll enjoy the view. Â
And you'll have plenty of time to enjoy that view, because the service is slooooooow. Â We went in on a slow weekend afternoon. Â Servers and bartenders outnumbered patrons, to give you some idea. Â And still, it took a half hour between ordering a beer and drinking a beer. Â
We didn't order food. Â We wouldn't have had time.
But the view is lovely.
Whiskey Priest... I'm going to give you a few seconds to just absorb the badassery of the name.
Badass names aside, the pub itself is alright. Prices were pretty middle of the pack (~$6-8 for beers, ~$10-15 for whiskey drinks) and the drinks themselves were just mediocre. Nothing stood out to me.
We came here on a Friday night for a friend's birthday, and it was deader than a Nickelback concert.
Really deserves 2 stars, to be honest, but the name alone is worth one extra star right?
Brunch was surprisingly good. They had a decent variety of brunch  menu options and a fantastic bloody mary. The food was tasty and hot. Great service, no wait.  There was no brunch buffet as other reviews state- not sure if it was the day or the time we went in- everything was menu only. Â
Been here several occasions for bar/dinner and was not overly impressed. For dinner/drinks, it is often busy/crazy. Â Usually there is a wait and not nearly enough staff to cover everyone. Â Food is usually okay. Nothing stands out (probably 2- 2.5 stars)..... but brunch was a different story (3 to 3.5 stars). Â I would recommend Sunday brunch here if you are already in the neighborhood.
I like this place. I've been here twice and have enjoyed both visits.
I came here before a Yanni concert at the BoA Pavillion (Yanni is awesome by the way). All the other food consumption places had long wait times that would make us late for the concert. This place was quick and attentive. The rooftop was packed and loud so we got a table next to the water downstairs. My Veggie burger was delicious.
The second visit was a pit stop in between the Harpoon/Samuel Adams Brewery tours. After the Harpoon tour, we decided we needed another drink before the T ride to Sam. It was 11:30am or so on a Saturday, yay day drinking and maybe a life reassessment.
The bartender was awesome. I'm not a whiskey drinker, but I'd say they have a fair amount of whiskeys to pick from. I just got a beer, a Rapscallion.... something a bit less pedestrian since they only keg and don't sell bottles.
I'd definitely come here next time I see Yanni, or decide to get an early start to the drinking day.
Two stars is being generous, and comes mainly from the location (sometimes you can even find metered parking!) and the layout of the place (nice open area, large bar with TVs, good lighting, nice view of the harbor, roofdeck).
Food: I've been here several times, and the last two times the food has been some of the worse I've ever experienced, even among bar food: over/under-cooked, not fresh, and not prepared well. I am surprised they can serve it with a straight face; it's that bad.
Drinks: The bartenders are relatively attentive, and the drinks are OK. The most recent time I went (September) they didn't have any fall beers on tap, and still had the summer beers, which was disappointing.
Cleanliness: Not very clean, especially the bar area and the bathrooms, even when not that busy.
It's a good spot to meet for a drink, especially in the summer if you get to the roofdeck.
I want to give Whiskey Priest 3 stars because of the roofdeck, but because the bartender was so incredibly rude, I just can't do it! So, I have been to Whiskey Priest before and while it wasn't amazing, it wasn't awful (aka., no one was rude). However, this time my friends and I decided we wanted to grab drinks somewhere we could sit outside/on a roof.
We walked upstairs to the 2nd floor of Whiskey's and were looking around and about to go onto the deck to check it out when the bartender goes, "Are you looking for a table?"our reply- yes, her response "you need to check in with the hostess" - now there is nothing wrong with this statement except for her attitude that was delivered with it. She was completely unfriendly and did NOT make a good first impression. We checked in with the hostess who told us it'd be 20 min so we decided to grab a drink while we waited.
So, first - the bar smelled like stale beer, I felt like I was in college again at a frat party. I am sure people spill beer all of the time but clean it up! However, I ignored the stale beer and looked at the drink menu. The bartender came over and asked if we knew what to drink and before we could really even respond (we just sat down!) she walked away and asked if someone else knew what they wanted. Can we have like 10 seconds to answer?! Â
We all ordered the white sangria and it was okay. It was pretty watery/not strong and didn't really have any fruit in it except an orange and lemon slice...lame! However, it was fine enough to drink. Now, the hostess comes over and is about to see us and the girl tells us it is $27 for the three. We easily could have just put it on one card but thought we'd just ask her to split it (it is really not that hard, I have done it before when I waited tables back in college. And also, it was like 230/3pm and it was NOT packed). But instead before we could even ASK for her if she could split it she looks at us and rolls her eyes and says, "Ugh, I'll just give it to the server, I am NOT dealing with THAT right now" - with a total attitude! I bit my tongue not to say anything but she was RUDE.
Anyway - we went outside and just finished our drinks and left and felt bad we didn't order anything outside for the other waitress but we were so turned off by the bartender we just wanted to leave.
I've came here about 3 times. Of those 3 times, only one was somewhat ok. The other two was just bad.
So lets start with food:
burgers and fries, sandwiches and fries, salads and such. The first time I was here was last year and i still remember that i had a burger with fries and also fried calamari and caprese. The food was pretty good then and it was still good now. Not much of that changed, except for price. It's bar food, why is it $12 for a burger and fries??? I do have to say though, their fries are pretty yummy!! Second time I was here, again, I ordered the burger and fries. Again they're good. no complaints there. And for the 3rd time I ordered a grilled sandwich and again it came with fries.
Now, lets move on to service:
First time - service wasn't bad. It was a very slow night and I couldn't understand why does it take so long to refill an iced tea.
Second time - it was again, not a busy night. our waitress kept disappearing and no where to be seen. We only ordered burgers and fries and it took us almost 2 hours to get out of there. This is totally unacceptable. we waited 30 minutes just to get the check.
Third time - service was way better. The girl was a bit slow on getting the drinks refilled but when she did come back, she came back with two instead of one, eventhough at the time, only one drink was empty. She also came over to check on food regularly and cleared the table as well. She returned with the check and thanked us for dining there. Quite an improvement from the last two times, Needless to say, she got a pretty nice tip in comparison.
Lastly Atmosphere:
Nothing has changed. Everything is the same. I liked that it's rustic and it has a beautiful view of the harbor. Whenever i come here, i always ask to sit in the back by the windows. It's usually a bit quieter as you'd be away from the bar area and can actually hear each other talk.
I gave this place 2 star because i feel that service can be improved and hopefully so can their price. It's expensive. I think if service was more consistent and drop the price just a little, it would definitely deserve at least a 3 to 4 stars.
I really am pissed I have to give this place a bad rating, it does not even deserve that. This is a whiskey bar that has a staff that knows nothing about whiskey. Everyone is rude, pathetic, fake, etc......
One giant corporation of a bar, would not ever go back, and tell everyone not to go there.
Not to mention this place is way over priced.
Whiskey Priest proves you can offer average food served by below average waitresses who would rather stand in a group and talk to each other (and frequently do) if only you present an above average view. Sunny roof deck on the water is about the only thing that impressed me here.
Served my Stella Artois in a plastic cup like I was at a sh*tty UMASS frat party. Sacrilege.
Let me start by saying i made a yelp account just because of this place......
My wife and I went to Boston for the day for 2 things, shopping and good food. We went to the Harpoon Brewery for a tour (which was awesome) and decided to walk back to faniel hall. Well on the way we saw this place, attracted by its waterfront balcony we decided to give it a shot, i mean all Boston food is good.... right? we ordered the Irish fries and two salads, the fries wernt to bad but the salads were horrible, wilted lettuce, bone and fat in my chicken and my Wife got calamari on hers which was the most overcooked chewy calamari i have ever tasted. The service wasn't good at all, none of the waitresses seemed to know which tables were theirs.
