Our second time here and we love it! Staff is friendly and attentive! The place is very small so you’re pretty close to the next table but it’s part of the charm and experience 😊

Financial District

About the restaurant

The concept here is pretty simple. We like to watch sports. We like to drink great beer, fresh cocktails and delicious wine. We like to eat really good food made from scratch. We like relaxed atmospheres with friendly service & warm hospitality.
So, that is what we strive to offer here at Warehouse Boston – an upscale sports bar that offers great food & beverages in a relaxed atmosphere where you might wind up dancing after dinner or the big game.
Our fare is described as fresh, quality, bar food. We make food that we like to eat so we can assure that you’ll like it as well. We make things that go well with beer, cocktails and wine and utilize the freshest ingredients we can find. Our scratch kitchen has something to offer for everyone and our fabulous staff will ensure that all your dietary needs are met.
Warehouse is located at the intersection of the Financial District & Faneuil Hall, just steps from The Boston Aquarium and Boston Waterfront.
