Sabina Mezcaleria

We popped in for a quick drink before a dinner reservation, so this review is for the bar and cocktails only. We ordered the Nights in Oaxaca and Dos con Panocha, both of which had great presentation and were delicious. While they didn't exactly disguise the mezcal flavor, I would say both drinks were relatively approachable for someone who is less familiar with or thinks they don't like mezcal. I thought the Dos con Panocha was particularly interesting, if you slowed down and really tasted it was very complex. The service was quick and friendly, the bar and drinks were super cute, and the food coming out looked tasty. Hope to come back and try some more mezcal-forward cocktails next time!

Really great vibe on the inside!The service was on point.Food was really flavorful Corn tostada (5/5) Beet salad (4.5/5)Sopa (4.5/5)Ribeye tacos(4/5)Churro with ice cream (4/5)Gin cocktail (4/5)

Came here with reservations on a Saturday evening for an early dinner and we were seated quite quickly. The place wasn't particularly busy when we came so it was pretty quiet which led to a nice ambiance overall. The tables were clean but also tightly packed together; the hightop we were at was pushed against a wall which led to feeling a bit cramped. The menu had a good mix of foods, all pretty expensively priced honestly. The portions were a on the smaller size given the price point, but being on Newbury, that's to be expected. The food itself all tasted very solid - I enjoyed the guac and tacos as well as the ceviche which all came with more filling/substance than expected, however things were disproportionate in terms of chips to topping ratio. There was a surprising amount of guac left as well as ceviche compared to the carb source provided. Nonetheless, they were all pretty small and we were left feeling a bit hungry after ordering everything. Overall, I probably wouldn't opt to return on my own accord, but I would be fine coming if it were someone else's choice. The food was decent and the service was all right, it's just the cramped tables and pricy menu that left a bit to be desired. Nonetheless, nice meal and I'm glad I got to try it at least!

Sabina is a must-visit! The food is always great, but the standout feature is the friendly customer service. We love sitting at the bar to catch all the action.It's the perfect spot for a fun, energetic vibe. If you're a tequila lover, this place is perfect! They offer a diverse selection that will impress any aficionado.

Very cool vibe with velvet seating and dark wood. Loved the small plates menu - the smoked fish quesadilla was incredible! Great drinks, especially if you like mezcal. Friendly staff and good service.

Stumbled upon this restaurant on a Friday night walking around Newbury Street. There was a bit of a crowd but luckily they had a table available for us within 10 minutes. The vibe of this place was very cool and trendy, definitely somewhere I would have grabbed drinks before a fun night out in my 20s. The food overall was pretty good, mostly bite sized sharable dishes. We ordered the corn tamal, soft shell crab taco, pork, octopus, and mini rib eye tacos. Everything was nicely presented and flavorful but our faves were the tamal and rib eye tacos. For drinks I got the coconut marg which was perfect!Such a cute spot to check out!

4.5-5 - I will be coming back!Very welcomed addition to Newbury/Back bay.Chapulines (grasshoppers) - light crunchy well seasoned snack. Guacamole- needs more lime/salt for my taste but otherwise was good. I'll probably get the cotija cheese one next time. Camarones/Shrimp - SO good! Has a nice kick. Octopus - never had it prepared this way. I usually have it grilled. It was hard to tell it was octopus, but the sauce was good. Squash blossom soup - YES! Delicious!!Mini sopes - YUM YUM YUMSoft shell crab taco - never had soft shell crab so don't have a good reference for this. It was decent but somewhat underwhelming. LOVE the mezcal selection and so great that you can get a Mezcal flight (waitress was very helpful in helping us choose). Also had tamarindo mezcal cocktail which was DELICIOUS. Cannot wait to try the rest of the menu.

What a treat! We had been wanting to come here for a while, as it's T accessible and right on Newbury St. We made a reservation for a Tuesday evening a few days in advance. When you walk in, the restaurant is small and nicely decorated. A full service bar and about 10-12 tables for seating. Our waiter was great, gave us recommendations for drinks (especially the Mezcal, which is what they're known for) and the sharable tapas. Everything tasted delicious, from the tacos to the sopes! Highly recommend as a fun date night or girls night. I'd stop in just to have a yummy drink at the bar. Definitely a fun, new spot with good food and drinks!

I am so impressed and happy that this restaurant has opened. It's easily one the best places to eat on Newbury Street. For example, I usually don't like the smoky, lingering taste of mezcal but even I couldn't stop drinking the Nights in Oaxaca cocktail. Equally as tantalizing were the foods. The ceviche was fresh and deliciously seasoned. The mini rib eye tacos were tasty as they were beautiful to behold. The Huitlacoche empanada is so satisfying. Stellar job with the new opening!

The picture is what they bring to the table as you sit down. Nothing like tasteless, stale, passive agression to start a meal.We ordered cocktails first.The Spicy mezcalita was so bad, we decided not to order anything beyond the first round of drinks. Couldn't taste anything other than salt. It was objectively , to everyone at my table who tried it, garbage. And the waiter managed to spill it down my leg as he was serving it.They are lucky I tipped on principal.This place isn't an award winning mezcal bar, it's a comedy club. Because what they serve is an overpriced joke.It's also so dark you will trip down the stairs coming in from a sunny day.Good luck if you choose to try it.
