    Good food, drinks and overall atmosphere. The nachos are massive and need a minimum of at least 2 people if you want to get close to finishing it at all. Loved the Mexican Mule. The wings were good but the BBQ sauce needs some work. Overall great experience. I will come again

    I have never felt so targeted by male staff at a bar/club in my life. This place is not safe for women. I have read many other negative reviews about women being treated unfairly here. I warn all women away from this place. Male staff getting off by ordering female customers around is absolutely vile. I have worked many years in the service industry and I have never witnessed such terrible "service". I cannot fathom the unprofessionalism of this place and I cannot recommend it any less. I don't know whose in charge of hiring for Big Nights but maybe they should try to get some decent human beings for a change.

    This is the worst restaurant they have my party of 4 a table in the corner next to the windows and kept forgetting about us every 30-45 min 20 for water and then the waitress bills incorrectly when the instructions were repeated 5 times. The food was Okay the drinks were a 2/10 let alone a random lady selling products in the bathroom watching everyone that comes in…

    My Fuego drink was great ! I had 3 tacos around $6/$7 each a little overpriced but it was wicked good! The bartender/server was super attentive and nice! The bouncers were in black suits giving me fancy vibes and I was there for it ahah. Tippers in bathrooms fyi. The decor is 10/10 I would design my place like this if I could 😭 Only one bad thing which had nothing to do with the restaurant. Extremely arrogant and pompous guy with his friend kept bumping into us, super rude. Idk if these type of people frequent there but only rude person I encountered.

    Girlfriend and I came here for a birthday. The service was mediocre at best. The manager at night pretends to be doing you a favor. If you are looking for a quesadilla you are better off going to Chillis as the manager stated. Here you get 2 soft tacos. No beans no rice on the side.

    Women, beware. I have never experienced such an aggressive experience in Boston from staffers— whether it was bouncers at the entrance to promoters and bottle girls on the floor. I rarely feel unsafe going out as a woman in Boston, but the hostility displayed by the employees on the floor was outstanding in my bar/club experience. If you are a woman going out in Boston, I urge you to go elsewhere. Save yourself $30 an unpleasant experience.

    Scorpion was amazing 👏 the staff was super nice and the aesthetic was even better. The music the night I want was amazing as well. The selection of food and drinks was even better. I completely recommend checking them out ❤

    It is so unfortunate that the review for this place is a mix between the food and the night club. Because the food is amazing. We initially didn't consider it because the cumulative review score was lower than others in the area, but am so glad we ended up taking a chance. The guacamole was so delicious. When its that good, you know you are in for a good meal. We got the pork enchiladas, al pastor pork tacos, and the pork belly tacos. All were excellent. The pork enchilada was so flavorful. The pork belly tacos with kimchi and Asian pear worked so much better than I thought it would. The corn tortilla was on the thicker side and pan fried slightly. Perfectly held up to the meat on the inside. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere relaxing. If coming for a meal, this place is absolutely a 5.

    The food and drinks were delicious and we were able to he seated earlier than reservation, but the music was so loud I couldn't hear the person next to me, and it took forever for the food and drinks to be brought over. There was also an obnoxiously loud party/table of maybe 20 people and we were initially seated right next to them (it was like a 7th grade girls sleepover level giggly and screaming). Not bad, but probably wouldn't be my first choice for dinner.

    I experienced a bad situation. When the hostess met us at the door she when and got the manager. When the manager arrived she noticed a black family and all of a sudden we needed a reservation when the whole place was empty. When I say empty, there was one customer dinning. In other words no blacks or at least not us black individuals. Too bad and sad!

    Even though a mandatory "20% service charge" was added to my bill's total, I was kicked out for not tipping the table waitress enough. Don't waste your time here. I should've paid more attention to the low ratings of this dump.

    Recently visited this place for a birthday, they promised a lot on the phone but failed to execute it. The drinks were not as expected, the waiter didn’t even inform us that it was the last call for food. It’s really crowded and hardly any place to dance around.

    Great place! I first visited SB at foxwoods and fell in love. So I was ecstatic to learn of the Boston Seaport location. Food and service are excellent at both restaurants. The sangria is amazing - spring for the skull, you won't be disappointed! I've had the quesadillas and the fajitas and I really enjoyed both. The atmosphere is nice, very unique decor. If you want something different from the usual pub, grille or big chain, Scorpion Bar is the place.

    Went in the 2nd week of March for a few drinks and apps on a Thursday evening. Vibe is sort of like a sports bar but more upscale and there's spaces away from the screens and such where you can enjoy a meal and conversation without the typical sports bar elements. 😅 drinks were tasty, semi pricey but were kind of weak 😃 The tacos are fantastic. The Baja taco was one of the best I've had however I do wish that the size of the taco roll was bigger since the filling was barely contained. Our server was attentive and courteous.

    Expensive and bland food. $7 for a very very small street taco. $14 for guac. A margarita that was very amateur. Save yourself and go someplace else.

  • 5/5 Family D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to get a nice meal at the Seaport. The food was delicious, crispy wings nicely coated in sauce but retaining their crispiness, plenty of nachos for sharing, chicken with yucca fries and rice and beans was all nicely flavored, and the churro was perfectly served with chocolate and dulce de leche for dipping. The ambience was also enjoyable.

    Food was tasty but not spectacular. Drinks are good, not the best, but the atmosphere was amazing 🤩. Love the location, loved the 'Scorpion Taco'. Highly recommend as a novelty.

    Came here expecting the same fantastic menu as a year ago but was sorely disappointed. The menu shrunk to a few food items that were comparable to snacks you get at the movie theater. To add salt to the wound, the food was served in cheap plastic trays that you typically find at food truck festivals, and it didn't taste good at all. Missed their old menu so much. The scorpio seemed to have lost its sting.

    Meh! The space is kinda cool, the food and cocktails were mediocre, some of the staff were attentive and friendly but the hostesses were really checked out. On Sunday evening there were two adjacent tables of college aged kids who had three repeat offender ladies who kept running back and forth to the bathrooms and lobby area every five to ten minutes to take calls and absolutely didn't think mask wearing applied to them. After the 7th or 8th maskless trip, the general manager asked them to wear their masks while not at their table but only after we brought it to their attention. Poor proactive mask enforcement.

    Margaritas were super average and very expensive. Also they serve them in these lame plastic cups. Not really what I want when I’m dropping $16 on a cocktail. Location is awesome. Ambiance is there. All flash, no substance.

    Semi-upscale bar with table service and long bar. Main dance area is oddly shaped, making it difficult to move around when it's crowded. Probably some of the friendliest bartenders I've experienced. Pleasantly surprising for a place that gets the niche seaport crowd. Despite the place being shoulder-to-shoulder capacity, bartenders got my drinks to me the minute i got up to the bar.

    Ordered curbside pickup on December 4. Due to the existence of a gift card our order had to be called in by phone, the old fashioned way. (There is no option to pay with a gift card on the online ordering portal.) The food and drink were tasty. Classic margaritas were sealed in plastic, pint-sized to go bags; when opened they tasted excellent. (Dont forget to shake the bag well before opening and pouring!) Chips and guacamole were perfect starters. Creamy style guac with some chunks. Lime forward taste, with a mild cilantro presence. Not too salty. Everyone liked the guac. The Taco Kit (6 Tacos total: 2ea beef, chicken, carne asada steak, with shaved lettuce, diced tomatoes, SB Blend cheese, Pico de Gallo, guacamole sour cream, and corn tortillas) fed three adults, and was tasty. Although no one particularly loved the corn tortillas. Easy curbside pickup, with parking spots out front dedicated to the takeaway business.

  • 3/5 Samuel R. 2 years ago on Google
    A high price for an average meal with mediocre service. The garlic Parmesan wings (8 for $20) were kind of bland, the ranch and blue cheese dips tasted almost the same, the side of fries ($10) was small and also bland, and the drinks ($15) were also nothing to write home about, but for New York prices. After spending that much, I was still hungry. There was only one waitress slowly serving all 5 parties on an empty Sunday night despite a bunch of staff hanging out with each other. It took three separate requests to change the TVs from some documentary on space satellites to Sunday night football. At a *sports bar *. Still a good vibe inside, and the food didn’t absolutely suck.

  • 1/5 Sierra D. 2 years ago on Google
    The club was really not fun and the staff were really rude to my friends and I. I wish we went somewhere else and saved ourselves the cover charge, which is $30 too expensive. Why are boston clubs so strict and mean and expensive? Really we deserve so much better

  • 5/5 Nicholas b. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome bar and restaurant. The atmosphere is chill and the service is awesome! Highly recommended for a quick drink or a longer gathering.

  • 5/5 Joseph B. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been to this bar a couple of times during my recent trip to Boston. I enjoyed myself here more than anywhere else. Even though it's a Tequila bar, it's very well stocked with all kinds of liquors. The ambience is cool and dark, and the music was pretty good. The crowd I saw was very diverse and friendly. Also, Aisha (I hope I spelled that right) is the best Bartender in all of Seaport. I will throw down with anyone that challenges that.

  • 5/5 Cristina M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Cam F. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a great experience getting a table. The promoter was very helpful and was really responsive arranging a day-of table. The bottle service experience was great! The bar turns into more of a club scene and the dj was good

  • 4/5 c w. 4 years ago on Google
    probably great for traditional bar type scene not so much for dinner due to atmosphere and table arrangements. it is like the bar scene sister to lolita which is more dinner friendly. decor and menu practically the same.

  • 3/5 Jess S. 4 years ago on Google
    Lots of false advertising around their specials. Other than that it was good food and the wait staff was great and if you want to cry but also have a little fun order the Mexican roulette wings.

  • 4/5 ESSENCE RUSSELL- W. 2 years ago on Google
    ****This place will ask you for your vaccination card, so have it handy**** I thought this place was nice. Had a really nice atmosphere, but I wasn't prepared to climb 3 flights of steps in heels. My legs were burning and I was winded by the time I got to the top. (Need to do more cardio) For some reason I didn't think this place was a Mexican restaurant. But nevertheless the food was great for me. My boyfriend on the other hand was not impressed. He didn't like any of the food on the menu. He wanted the steak but they ran out of it. I had the Birria tacos and he ended up getting the honey Buffalo wings. He ate one and was done. lol The Birria tacos were delicious, flavorful, and stuffed to the brim with a bowl of saucy goodness on the side. The wings looked good too. I love wings! The drinks were ok. Our waiter was not that polite. The greeter who sat us was EXCELLENT! Should have been a waiter. I would definitely come back here, maybe for a girls night out. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    Great bar, club type experience. Dancers were cool, they weren’t crazy about me climbing on stage. How strange. Food was only slightly above average but pricey and same with the drinks. Chicken tacos featured.

  • 5/5 Franklin F. 2 years ago on Google
    We had dinner at Scorpion last night, and have to say the decor is very trendy and fun with traditional hints as well. Food portions are grand and price is reasonable considering the size of the portions. For example two people can share one burrito. At the recommendation of the manager, Manny, we had the buffalo chicken quesadilla appetizer, which could actually be a meal itself, was outstanding. Service was excellent and they make you feel welcome and do not push you to leave. Manny the manager is a nice guy and represents the establishment well. At the end of the meal he walked over to the table to ask us how our dining experience was and if we needed anything else, and then invited us back anytime. This personal touch was appreciated. Thank you Manny and staff for a great meal and fantastic time.

  • 4/5 Molly B. 2 years ago on Google
    The best part of my entire experience was the female manager Alexa. She made my birthday so so SO special. She went above and beyond to make sure that I had the best day possible. She came over to check in on us multiple times, told us great stories and has us laughing so hard, and even surprised us with a round of shots. This experience wouldn't have been the same had it not been for Alexa. The food was okay the chicken and churros were definitely the best thing on the menu. The nightclub industry needs more women leaders and I'm lucky I had the opportunity to meet one. Alexa deserves to be running all of Scorpion you're lucky to have her.

  • 5/5 Michaela G. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to Scorpion Bar last Friday for dinner with some friends. The manager, Alexa sat us at our table and gave us so many recommendations all of which were fabulous. The fish tacos that she suggested were one of the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. Alexa came over to our table multiple times to check in to see if we needed anything which was so nice. Overall it was a great experience, I would definitely go back especially if Alexa was working. Restaurants would for sure run more efficiently if they had managers like Alexa!

  • 5/5 D. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here and it was very relaxing. I was ordering drinks and food for myself and my friend from 5:30 PM (start of my reservation time). Till 8PM when we finally finished. $20 all you can eat tacos on Tuesdays. Staff was very nice and brought everything we needed and asked for. Had the steak, chicken and fish Tacos and it was good.

  • 5/5 Shruti S. 1 year ago on Google
    Past Sunday - was our 1st time at Scorpion Bar and the service was excellent - Our server - Celia made us feel special and checked in with us repeatedly - Celia payed special attention to my dietary needs - She was sweet, warm, attentive and smiling. Best server! The food and drinks were very good as well! I had a 1800 coconut margarita - (which came with an adorable miniature Mexican hat attached to the glass with a mini clothes pin) and an incredibly delicious, super thin crust pizza. My husband had the very hot chicken wings and he loved the unique flavor - We are definitely going back with more friends!

  • 5/5 Ashley C. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was delicious! Big portions, wasnt too pleased with the signature margarita fishbowl, it didnt affect me nor my friends for being $55. It was like a drop of alcohol, half ice and the rest margarita mix.

    Place gets too packed that you can barely stand comfortably let alone get to the bar. They should set a firm capacity cap. Ambiance is very nice though!

    Scorpion bar in seaport Boston is amazing and delicious food and tequila drinks! The buffalo wing options are endless and are delicious! I recommend the habanero hot wings paired with ranch is great! The service was excellent and knowledgeable of the menu and bar! Food was delicious, we loved the tacos that you can mix and match different flavors, the rib was the best! They also have MASSIVE burritos that are fully packed you can barely finish them. The overall aesthetic was beautiful and very inviting and have live sports playing and a beautiful bar. They also covid friendly with spacing out tables and having dividers by the bar!
