I’ve been to this restaurant a couple of times since living in Boston. I once went for their “scare leave” pop up for Halloween and my boyfriend, best friend, and I just went to their sippin Santa pop up. We had such a great time! The theming is always great. I love the attention to detail. We are vegetarians and they had great tasty options for that. The drinks were impeccable in cup mugs that you have the options to buy at the end. Also! We watched a live surf rock band when we came for Halloween and then karaoke this time around. It looks like they are always hosting events.
I recommend making a reservation before you go, it’s usually crowded.

I actually don’t remember much because we came here and just took drinks and shots to the face really quickly. But I remember how this place made me feel, and it was great, lmao. Really cute, spooky atmosphere. I’m pretty sure we did karaoke too but it was a blurry night. 10/10 would come back, really fun!

Would never expect to find a bar like this so many stairs below ground. Fantastic real rum selection, knowledgeable bartenders, great drinks. Tikki mug collection is amazing.

Amazing tiki stop in Boston. Very tasty food, and great inventive twists on classic tiki cocktails. Got to enjoy the special Halloween menu and decor. Will definitely be adding to my list of must go places when in town.

The omakase is so thoughtful and delicious, and the sushi chefs and waiting staff are so attentive and kind (even with special care for celiacs and food allergies). The staff took note of details we even forgot we included on the reservation! Came out with a full special birthday shot on the house!

Shore Leave nails the vibe. Warm lighting, great energy, and a space that feels lively without being loud. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, helpful without hovering.
The omakase was the standout. The chef was excellent, thoughtful pacing, confident execution, and every course felt intentional. You could tell there was pride behind the food, not just technique but personality.
A place that’s easy to relax in and easy to trust. Definitely worth going back.

I’ve only been here a couple of times now invited by a friend of mine named Big John he and I used to sing at other places before I decided to check this place out in a 3-hour period from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Friday nights the songs move quickly! Karaoke DJ does not waste three or four minutes per song before calling up the next singer! As soon as they’re done and get applause he moves right on up to the next singer! Every karaoke DJ in the city of Boston could learn from these guys! And they’ve got a huge extensive song list big book of songs! Very friendly people all the way around the whole staff karaoke DJ’s management everybody! Incredible place to sing! Great atmosphere and great participation! Customers were really nice and appreciative as well! Look forward to going there when I can! Both karaoke DJs I experience for both nice! I’m glad Big John showed me this place! This is the class of karaoke places in Boston! This is how you really run karaoke! Not wasting time going to business in getting on with the singer after singer after singer! Never experienced this before anywhere! Including one of the places I still go to I won’t mention who they are because they treat me like family! But even there system could be updated with more songs and getting people up song after song after song instead of waiting three or four minutes per song because this other place gets packed and people get left out of singing! I’ll take Shore leave over anybody they really know how to do it right! All of their employees and management really know how to do this right! I applaud every single one of them! Including the nice customer participation! I’ve only had a little bit of their food but it’s really good! My only problem is cokes are $6 a glass and that’s way too expensive for my blood! I’ll stick with the free ice water but I do hope they would change that price! That’s the most expensive price in the city that’s the only drawback about this place! On a scale to 100 in my opinion this place gets a 99 and a half! ⚖️

Top tier establishment! The food is excellent as well as the cocktails. The sushi offerings are fresh and flavorful and offer a variety of textures and experiences. Simon made us some excellent cocktails based on our preferences and we were not disappointed. When I didn’t see something on the menu speak to me I was able to describe what I was looking for and he made me an excellent drink. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a drink and/or bite (and the atmosphere is awesome)!

I would call this tiki-light. The decor is fun but they don’t really lean into the theme the way other tiki places do (three dots and a dash, for example). The sushi and appetizers we had were good as were the cocktails though presentation was lacking. Decent prices by Boston standards and great, friendly staff.

Came for the Sippin Santa but will definitely come back. Food was delicious. Sushi was good but not the best I’ve had loved the creative dishes and variety of foods to choose from. The pad Thai brussel sprouts were so good. Drinks were fun and not crazy strong and I loved all the holiday decorations!
