Lookout Rooftop

Such a fun place if you're looking for a night out with friends with views of the city and no cover charge! I feel like this place is more for getting drinks and chatting with friends enjoying the overall ambiance together which makes it a lot more chill but still fun! It's part of a hotel so make sure you go through the lobby first and then up the elevators! Would recommend checking it out!

I wanted to bring my friend to a special place for dinner for her birthday, and I had always wnted to try this place, it looks so nice when you see it from the ground and you can tell it has great views!I was shocked that I had to pay 75$ just to reserve a table. This was non-refundable and did not count towards the price of food. Then I saw that the food was pretty inexpensive, so I thought maybe it was to make up for the cost of the reservation. It didn't make sense to me though because the difficulty and cost of the reservation made me think it must be very elegant, but the menu seemed like simple bar foodNow that I have been there, I get it! It is actually a very trendy bar where lots of young people hang out. Most of them are standing in the bar area, but you can basically rent a table/seating area for two hours (prices vary by the size) and drink and get some snacks if you want. The 75$ and strict time table must be so people don't just sit there and take up the seats all night drinking. They also have a policy that they take the card you are going to use to pay and keep it until you leave, to make sure you actually pay. I am sure there is good reason for this but it did make me LOL! So not what I expected.Still, it was fun seeing where the young people go for fun and feeling hip for a few hours. The food was simple but good, and our waitress was very nice.I wouldn't come back for dinner because it cost too much between the reservation and the parking. Plus, it is not really a place that is focused on the food, it's more of a bar with a fantastic view,

Envoy is cool hotel. I've had the opportunity to stay there and the rooms are trendy and comfortable. Good restaurant in the hotel as well. This review is just for the rooftop though. Been up there a few times. Weekend nights - the place is an bad, packed, outdoor night club with no dance floor. Weekend days - still crowded but not shoulder to shoulder at least, and a mixed crowd of ages and such. The view is nice - nicer at night. The Boston skyline has a few spots that are recognizable and this is one of them. You can see 180 degrees down the water from Aquarium to the Intercontinental hotel. The drinks are expensive and they aren't using top shelf liquor. My margarita tasted like college dive bar tequila and not much else. $20. There is seating but you can't get there unless you agree to a $50 minimum. Steep. Otherwise the open area is standing only with some bar height tables and bench tables against the railing to at least put a drink down. This could be a really great spot. With a little attention to things - I think guests might stick around for two or three drinks. As it is - no seats, cheap liquor for a high price, LOUD music - it was one and done for us. Unless we have visitors from out of town who want to go - not sure I'll be back.

This place shouldn't be popular yet it is probably because of its location and the view. Service is awful.

The staff is very nice and polite. The view is incredible, you have a panoramic view of Boston and it feels very upscale. The drinks were a bit of a contradiction. Not super tasty, presentation was underwhelming, and I was really surprised how can a $20 dollar drink came in a plastic cup. I can't comprehend. The Call Your Mum cocktail was not super delicious, as the ingredients might suggest, and the citric acid was too much, my lips got a little burned from it. For a rooftop bar of that caliber, I just expected things to be more consistent with the upscale vibe.

Food is nice. There is not a lot of variety to choose from since I went for brunch, but the foods taste great. Staff are fantastic. It's a nice igloo looking out to the port, giving it a very nice view for a beautiful date, especially at night! Will be back at night for a different feeling!

I gave it 4 stars because of the location.- This came up for "Older crowd" in Boston. I can assure you, after being there several times, its very very young(21-25yrs) - about 80% of the people.Getting a drink is exactly what you expect with this crowd. Not easy especially on nice days.People working seemed to be pleasant and hustling though!

Felt very gimmicky, the vibe was a little bit awful. Most of the bar was sectioned off for reserved. The only good thing about this place is the view and you can tell from the pictures.

My drink (I ordered a Hugo spritz) was tasty but it's crazy to me how many empty couches they had but we weren't allowed to even stand in that area if we didn't pay for them. Mind you not one person was in that section. I would suggest you at least offer a few tables with chairs for free. If I'm paying for a $20 cocktail after walking around the city all day, the least you can do is offer a place to sit for free.

Ambiance is great, Drinks are decent and expensive like alot of places in Boston but the view is worth it. Come before the sunsets so you don't have to wait in line later on and just have a good time during the night. Wish the music was a little better but all in all a good experience
