😐 The best thing about this place was the food! The corn dogs were very fresh. I recommend the grilled cheese sandwich. The cocktails were good but service was extremely slow for food and drinks. I believe it may be because they may not have enough staff. Also, because it’s the end of October. People often mention great, grilled, cheese, drinks, Salem, cocktails, good, friendly, staff,

    Tiny little lounge in Salem that harkens back to the time of the speakeasy! Drinks were tasty, bartenders friendly and music just loud enough to set the perfect tone. Had a great time with the Red Sox game playing on all the TVs. Would love to go back if we make it up this way again!

    I hesitate to review this bar, cuz it's one of my locals and I don't want it to get too much busier, but I'll share! The best bar staff in Salem, hand crafted cocktails, hot dogs & grilled cheese! Who could ask for more? Fantastic vibe. Bring money for the jukebox.

    This was a decent little stop for some drinks! Super close to our hotel, wasn't to packed, and the bartenders were right on point making drinks fast and slinging brews quick. No complaints. Love the old school vibe for sure!

    This place is just ok. We got our drinks quickly but also wanted to order food. Twenty minutes after we got our drinks, our food order still had not been taken. We had to go ask the bartender if we could order food. She didn't write down our order (for a table of six) and something was left off. We then had to ask again to get our check. The food is good and it's a cozy place, but service is lacking. Probably won't go again which is unfortunate because we had heard a lot about this place.

    This is THE spot. I haven’t had a Seattle dog since I left home (Seattle) 2 years ago and All Souls really hit the mark! Drinks are great. Prices are FANTASTIC. Love that they have mocktails available as my partner doesn’t drink much. Everyone should go here

    If you’re looking for something light and warm to eat before walking around Salem this is a great place to come. The drinks were great (minus The Psycho Killer which was a special for the night…horrible). I had some of the best Tomato soup I’ve ever had in my life here which paired excellent with the grilled cheese. The line was a little long to get in and the Bouncer was a tad rude…but he has a difficult job particularly because of the almost of age Witches and Ghouls trying to enter when there is a sign stating under 21 after 9 no entry….

    Erica is a killer bartender! They have been wonderful from start to finish. Made great drinks and conversation. She was welcoming and accommodating. If I had better words to say I would but that is the extent of my English. Thanks again to making my vacation amazing.

    I had the Tokyo dog and the bánh mì grilled cheese and wow. You would think it’s just a plain hot dog and grilled cheese but they go out of the way to make these sooo good. Definitely a great spot for some drinks and late night bites. I can’t wait to get a Tokyo dog when i come back. I crave it all the time now lol. Service and vibe was great!

    Great place!! We just stopped by for a drink, but ended up staying a few hours. The spinach dip was great. The Elote hot dog was a game changer. I’m from Texas where we take our elote very seriously 😂 This was probably the best hot dog I’ve ever had! Also had one of their sandwiches with apples…can’t remember the name but it was very tasty!

    If you’re gluten free and haven’t had a hot dog since before being gluten free, now is your chance! Was super happy to try, though I wish they maybe toasted the bun a bit to avoid it from falling apart. The atmosphere in this bar is nice, dark colors and their music is playing through a record player. I’m taking a star away because I honestly felt bad watching the bartender be that, a server, bus boy and dj (for the record player) - they could benefit from one extra employee to help avoiding overworked people. Despite the gentleman clearly doing a lot, he was very helpful and efficient.

    Super delish! Definately a must place to check out. Vibe feels homey with great jukebox collection.

    Don’t come to Salem without trying this place. This was recommended to me by two different locals. Drinks are amazing. I had “The Smash” Food was SO GOOD!!! I had the grilled cheese Fig w/out bacon and the piergoi I want to move this place closer so I can try everything on the menu, then I would go back and order everything vegan!

    The atmosphere was good. The food was good but after when we were just hanging out this lady with short hair gave off of an energy that she didn’t want us there. Never do I ever pull off a race card and I work in a social setting but energy doesn’t lie she felt extremely racist and I was kind and nice. Just a heads up for minorities be aware when you go there. I don’t and ever will say that but if I do, know that it’s that bad and aware how racist they are. Racist is an understatement. I’ll like to have a conversation with the owner to see where the racism is coming from it’s 2023. Just see me as a human and not a color, please.

    The food was very interesting and delicious and the drinks were perfect. The staff were all familiar and friendly. The overall feel was very cool. One of the servers told me who the owner is, and I am not surprised this place is awesome.

    I loved my experience here. It looks pretty standard, but it's a GREAT spot to chill for a quick bite. I had the La Femme grilled cheese, and it was AWESOME 👌. Really TASTY. Very well cooked, super fresh crisp ingredients. I had the cocktail of the month, and it was excellent (Lavender Menace). The server was super attentive and kind. Had a dive bar feel, and the vibes are immaculate. 💕

    We ordered 3 different sandwiches; the Classic, Sweet and Salty, and North Beach. We each like the one we ordered. Full of flavor. Good service and cocktails. Photo doesn't do sandwich justice.

    This is easily my favorite spot in Salem! The cocktails are excellent and the bartenders who make them are friendly and knowledgeable. The vibe is awesome, somehow both laid back and lively (it's fairly small so it can get packed quickly on weekend nights in the busy season) and there's a functioning jukebox which is a nice touch. $5 bloody Mary's, mimosas and Irish coffee on Sundays and a super tasty yet simple menu of grilled cheese sandwiches and hot dogs. What's not to love!?

  • 5/5 Henry D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drink selection and great tasting cocktails. We ordered the sweet salt grilled cheese and the Icelandic hot dog. Both were really good. We thought the grilled cheese was the best we've ever had! Great atmosphere also, highly recommended.

    Very nice little lounge to stop for a couple cocktails before a night out. Plentiful outdoors seating, along with inside seating. Had no issues with wait staff whatsoever, and all of the cocktails were delicious. The menu also features scrumptious snacks and appetizers that should not be overlooked. Definitely a must stop!

    I saw this place on TikTok & a girl said it was the best grilled cheese she’s ever had. She was right. My god it was good. It really was the best grilled cheese & I like to think I’m the food critic from ratatouille, Anton Ego.

  • 5/5 Halle K. 1 year ago on Google
    Super fun and inviting atmosphere in a low-key, unassuming setting. Choose your own adventure here whether you'd like to sit back and soak in your surroundings with a delicious cocktail, or get down to some tunes on the juke; the staff will support it. Genius, simple, satisfying menu with something for everyone (and very vegan friendly). Personable, friendly, and fun staff that exemplify fantastic teamwork and offer outstanding service. Will be my go-to for my future visits to Salem.

    Best drinks in Salem & well priced! Eric was a great server and made our experience extra fun. I wish we would have known to come here earlier in our visit. Don't miss it!
