dbar is Dorchester's premiere destination for fine dining, delicious cocktails and exciting nightlife. Open seven days a week, dbar is a full service restaurant that seamlessly transforms into a nightclub and lounge as the evening progresses. The interior’s charm harkens to the space’s former life as an Irish pub, but under the vision of owner Brian Piccini, dbar transformed into the ultimate neighborhood restaurant, for Dorchester locals and curious visitors alike. Helmed by Chef Christopher Coombs, dbar ‘s menu features approachable yet inventive fare that showcases New England seasonality using the freshest local ingredients. The menu also boasts a variety of comfort foods, including our famous Veal and Pancetta Bolognaise, and tried-and-true favorites, including our simple yet delicious Giannone Chicken Under a Brick. Looking for the perfect cocktail? From espresso martinis to a fine glass of Cabernet, dbar caters to all tastes. The eclectic martini list will excite and gratify while our selection of over 200 bottles of wine will far exceed expectations.
“The food was amazingly delicious, the staff was friendly and sociable, the patio was perfect for dinner. I have a child who is picky eater but the staff came up with a solution for him to enjoy dinner with us and it worked out well for everyone.”
“Really enjoyed my meal at dbar for Dine Out Boston! We were served by Julian who gave us stellar service. I really enjoyed the pork shoulder tacos, which was interesting because I'm not usually into tacos. The entrees were universally over salted but still quite tasty and well made and presented. We loved the outdoor seating and decor. Looking forward to coming back.”
“I love this place. The food, drinks, and service are always excellent, and we are always happy when we come here. From my own perspective as an entertainer and DJ, I personally have not found the entertainment to be as enjoyable. I believe it is very important to understand the audience and create an atmosphere that fits the guests in the room. Sometimes it can feel like certain DJs focus more on their own musical preferences rather than what the crowd is responding to. That approach may work in a major nightclub setting, but in a local bar or restaurant, I feel the guests should always come first. This place clearly puts guests first when it comes to the food, drinks, and service. I just wish that same attention was reflected more in the music as well. That is only my opinion, and I share it with respect.”
“A serene escape from the hectic vibe of the Dorchester neighborhood. Recently came here to enjoy the last bit of good weather on their patio with our dog. Their quaint patio offered a good respite with plenty of seatings, and being familiar with the finesse of Boston Urban Hospitality's portfolio, I stepped in with high expectations. A noticeable departure from their other two upscale spots, Dbar's ambiance resonated more with a laid-back, casual vibe, while the menu hinted at elevated tavern fare. We started our evening with the Veracruz Braised chicken flautas, which aptly mirrored crispy spring rolls, albeit with a Mexican twist. However, the star appetizer for me was the lump crab cake. Bursting with rich crab meat, it danced with the creamy textures of avocado and remoulade, and the grapefruit zest lended a refreshing tang to every bite. For our mains, we had the pork loin and the poke bowl. While the pork loin was a tad dry, the accompanying pumpkin spaetzle made up for it, offering a soft and chewy counterpart. The poke bowl, with fresh tuna and salmon, echoed familiar notes of spicy aioli and sesame soy dressing. It was reminiscent of poke bowls from typical sushi restaurants, but I still enjoyed it. Given Dbar's location, frequenting might require a bit of an effort. However, it undeniably offers a lovely patio ambiance and a good dining experience. While I might not venture here again anytime soon, for anyone in the neighborhood or looking for a patio experience, Dbar is worth a try.”
“Left my credit card behind after spending > 500.00. I went in the following day and was told by the bartender there was a 25.00 charge for credit cards left behind. I have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere, but this has really changed my opinion of D Bar. I question if this is even legal. The bill had been paid, a generous tip was left, the card was just left behind.”
