Dining Out Boston

File this under places that suck for a myriad of reasons.

There's a roof deck at the rattlesnake, but the view is only of the gross walls of the buildings next to it, and on the roof they have cheap plastic furniture. On a nice day, the roof is probably packed, so don't even bother trying to get upstairs. There's very often a line of 10 people or more just to go up the stairs. There's no point in hanging out up on the roof anyways, there are countless other places in Boston where you can eat and drink outside, like on newbury street. And at those places, at least you'll have a view and decently comfortable furniture.

There's nothing special about the food, drink or service at the rattlesnake bar and grill and one could even venture to say its kind of subpar. The crowd, especially right after work hours, sucks. Rude (and cheap) after work crowd, and again on a nice day it will be packed to the gills with these people and they're not nice to have to be pressed into. Unless you like cheap perfume and cologne.

So in conclusion, go somewhere else, like a real restaurant with patio seating, skip the rattlesnake.
