The steak was wildly overcooked, but that wasn't even the problem. the staff was completely racist towards my fiance and I from start to finish of the meal. would not recommend if you're a POC

Bogie's is definitely a cool little spot - essentially a speakeasy steakhouse hidden inside The Wig Shop bar. There are only a couple tables, making it feel quite exclusive while dining. The service is reasonable with basically one server/bartender for the small number of tables in back. Our server was friendly, but every once in awhile you could tell when it was getting busier and he wasn't around as often as you might expect. Their rolls and butter were phenomenal. I could have probably eaten 4 myself. We started with the Salmon Tartare, as it was a unique dish, and it was well worth it. Fresh with crisp wonton crisps - highly recommend. For our mains, the filet and NY Strip were both solid, if not quite the top tier steaks from elsewhere outside Boston. They were a true 4-star dish - one with really no complaints but just a bit less flavorful than the best out there! Bogie's is worth the visit even if just for the destination itself, but the food also won't disappoint!
Visited this place before Christmas based off a friend's
Visited this place before Christmas based off a friend's recommendation. The place was small intimate and dark. It was attached to a speakeasy which was busy when we walked in. The service was good and the steaks were better than expected. The only issue I had was the place was so small and where I was seated. I kept getting bumped by the busboy and anyone else walking by me. Food and service were very good but seating was terrible for me.
This is a great spot, I can't believe we had never been
This is a great spot, I can't believe we had never been before. There were 4 of us on a Saturday night, we had a blast (we were pretty well lubricated before we got there, that didn't hurt). I went in knowing it was a bit on the pricey end and thinking we would be paying for a fun gimmick, a speakeasy within a speakeasy. I was so wrong! (not about the fun) The food was great and the service was better than I've had in a very long time. The vibe is cool, fun, hip and comes off as genuine, effortless, they're not trying too hard. (It's not cheesy or gimmicky at all) It's a small spot, 5-tables and the menu is not very expansive, but this crew is dialed in, the place is well run, the service is amazing and the food outstanding. Go to Bogie's Place, have a bunch of drinks, eat great food, spend a little money and have a blast.
Improvement over my last visit (8 years ago), but still
Improvement over my last visit (8 years ago), but still lacking. Our waiter John was great, very friendly, helpful, personable. We started with an order of crab cake & 2x Bone Marrow. While the taste of the crab cake was good, I felt the portion size was small for $24 (in that, I wouldn't order this again). The bone marrow was a hit. There was a slight snafu on the steaks, where one of the orders was captured as strip steak instead of ribeye, but they fixed it pretty quickly. Two orders of chimichurri, that was not very good (neither really got touched). The largest disappointment was the portion size of the potatoes and mushrooms. I feel if you're paying $15+, you should get enough to share; we each got a spoonful of potatoes, not worth the price. Old Smokey beverage was top notch, I'd recommend to anyone that's considering & likes a smooth and smoky drink. We were here for a 50th birthday (mentioned on the reservation). The waiter wished him a happy birthday, I was surprised they didn't do anything.
What an awesome surprise.
It's a very cool setup. The service team was awesome and the food was great. If the front desk at our hotel hadn't told bus about it we would have missed out on a great experience. It is primarily reservations only but they were able to sneak the 3 of us in. If you like bourbon try The Old Smokey. We will be back someday for sure.
Absolutely phenomenal best meal in Boston highly recommend

Good steak but overpriced and pretentious.
Bogie’s Place. The attempt: a hidden fine-dining steak house. The server was dressed to match the table’s white linen and water goblets. Cue the torch to dazzle you with some fancy butter-melting moves. They were blasting music from the prohibition era to REALLY get you to time-travel and make sure you know you’re in a “speak easy”. The velvet walls and faux chandeliers could not mask the fact that it’s a closet with 5 tables in between their pub (JM Curley) and cocktail lounge (Wig Shop, which I absolutely love BTW). Separated by a curtain. On top of the 1920’s music you can actually hear the 2024 music and noise of The Wig Shop from where we’re seated. And the funny thing is, the staff of the pub and Wig Shop were crossing through Bogies Place like it was the back stage. It’s like catching Mickey Mouse at Disney with its mouse ears and head removed while on his smoking break. As for the food… to be fair, the steak is really good but that butter torching stunt was so unnecessary. The butter was not melted; it was coagulating and not oozing over the steak. Well, I prefer my steak without all that butter anyway. The salads and sides were pretty good. For the price you pay, you’re better off enjoying real fine dining at Grill 23, Abe & Louie’s or Capital Grille. Overall: Good food. Excellent service. Overpriced. 100% pretentious.
Service and food were very good.
Very cool atmosphere and a nice crowd of people. Entrance was great.
Fun, young, hip, vibrate setting with fun easy going staff
Fun, young, hip, vibrate setting with fun easy going staff that bring out wonderful simple creations that are done just right.
The atmosphere here was really cool and unique.
Had to enter through a Wig Shop. They escort you to this private back room with a few tables. Very chic, velvet walls, small bar but very attentive staff. A huge plus was the private bathroom in the back. Perfect to have a conversation with dinner not too loud in here even when full. It's sandwiched between the Wig Shop bar on one side and JM bar on the other but you couldn't even tell honestly. Nice menu for food and drinks. The cocktails we had were delicious! The biggest draw for us was the steaks. I had a NY sirloin as a table we ordered broccolini and duck fat potatoes as our a la carte sides to share. This has to be one of the best, juiciest, tender, almost melt in your mouth, flavorful steak I've ever had. We savored each bite. We will definitely be coming back. Pricey but it's worth every penny ! Our waiter Kevin was fantastic!
Small hole in a wall type of place, but great service.
I love the asparagus, and the steak was really well seasoned (which is super rare imo). Overall, would recommend for a nice date night (it's also attached to the Wig Shop bar)
Amazing service.
Jeremy was attentive, accommodating and patient with us all night. We didn't feel rush or pressured. The food and drinks were top notch!! Everything made our night special. We will be back.
The place was nice enough and had good drinks and salads.
However, our $90 steaks were disappointing. We've had much better steaks for the same price (or less) at nearby steakhouses. Maybe it was an off night or steak is just not their thing. We'd maybe go again but not for steak.
Bogie's always comes up as one of the best steakhouses in
Bogie's always comes up as one of the best steakhouses in Boston for a reason. It won't come up as one of the flashy places that attract tourists. This is a place to go if you really just want a great steak and are willing to pay a good amount for it. The au poivre sauce is probably the best we'd ever had. The sides are not included, like with most upscale steak houses, but the mushrooms were delicious. The menu is small but the food came out fast. The staff really elevated the experience and gave very well informed and honest input on the menu. They really pulled off the speakeasy experience without any gimmick. Stop by wig shop of the way out for some interesting cocktails.
The ULTIMATE date night destination!! This spot is
The ULTIMATE date night destination!! This spot is literally hidden inside of another restaurant so it's tiny (5 tables total) and feels very private. Most of the place is lit by candlelight and they were playing Frank Sinatra all night in the background. The vibe/ambiance here is beyond cozy, intimate and romantic... My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We started with the steak tartare, which in itself was excellent, but it was served with "kettle chips" aka Cape Cod potato chips which I felt like was an odd pairing. For our entree, we shared the tomahawk steak (medium-rare). It was an ample portion size for two people, cooked perfectly and had the most amazing juicy flavor. It came with steak butter on top, which our server lit on fire at our table to heat up (nice touch!). For our sides, we got the asparagus and fingerling potatoes. We are normally not asparagus people but we couldn't stop commenting on how amazing it was; thin, crispy asparagus sticks smothered in a flavored butter sauce. I could eat these everyday they were that good! And omg the dessert!! We shared the "campfire brownies" which was a HUGE bowl of crumbled brownies, melted marshmallows and ice cream. Days later we are still talking/thinking about this dessert. I would highly recommend this place for any special occasion! :)
We came for a friend's birthday and had a fantastic time.
Our server was Jeremy and he was great - we had a few questions about the menu which he was very knowledgeable of, he helped us pick out a bottle of wine, and overall made the entire dinner very fun which we appreciated! The space is very intimate and feels very much like a prohibition era speakeasy. The food was excellent, we got the bone marrow as an appetizer and all of us got different steaks which were perfectly cooked and very well dressed. Would definitely recommend for a more cozy night out!

Bogie's Place is a wonderful restaurant, the atmosphere, food, and service makes it so great! My boyfriend and I came here for a nice meal and have a few drinks to just spend some nice quality time together. Our server's name was Jeremy and he was one of the sweetest guys! He recommended doing shots from the bone marrow after we finished eating and that was truly an amazing experience! We shared the 22 oz ribeye and the lobster, which both we bursting flavor. Sadly, I do not have any pictures of the meal because it mentioned no phones, so we wanted to respect their wishes. You didn't need your phone though the experience and just being with my boyfriend was enough for me to be over the moon happy. Overall, one of my best dining experiences and if I am back in Boston in the future i will definitely be visiting here again!
Private and romantic mood.
It is a small space with a few tables. Very old school, back room perfect for martinis and steaks.
If you are into a dining experience this is one for the
If you are into a dining experience this is one for the books. First off we found this place when we had gone the night before to the Wig Shop speakeasy. Made reservations for the following evening before we left the bar. So we accessed the speakeasy steakhouse from the Wig Shop. We were seated on time and we're immediately greeted by Jamison. He was the primary reason for our incredible dining experience. Poured us some champagne and took our cocktail orders. Get the Old Smokey and watch him make the cocktail if you can. We ordered the seafood bruschetta. Delicious. The sides are family size and we ordered the Brussels, asparagus, mushrooms and two baked potatoes. Everything was so good. We then ordered the bone in ribeye and the NY strip. I normally order the filet but since we were sharing we went to the strip. The ribeye was well seasoned and cooked to order. I would order that again. The strip was not as flavorful but was still good. Some the review comment on the price of the menu items. You can view the menu and the prices. This is a fairly expensive restaurant. Everything from the location, the small intimate space (only 5 tables) to the service, cocktails and the food made this a great experience. I would recommend this to anyone.
Be thankful I'm not writing a full review, but let it be
Be thankful I'm not writing a full review, but let it be known this was my WORST dining experience in Boston EVER. As a person in the service industry- I'm flabbergasted!
A three seems harsh, as there wasn't anything that bad on
A three seems harsh, as there wasn't anything that bad on the menu or, for that matter, any issues with the staff or vibe of the restaurant. It was just WAYYY too expensive for the amount we got (two apps, two drinks, and two entrees). The price wasn't justified at all as the food was lacking a bit. Fun place to get drinks, but skip the food as there are better steakhouses to spend your hard-earned money at.
TLDR, Service is amazing.
.. location is awesome... ambience is great... waitstaff are pros...food is not much to write home about. Nice experience to have once, but if revisiting just come for the drinks and ambience. Food is average and priced well above-average. PROS: Bogie's is a cool speakeasy themed restaurant. Located within The Wig Shop a speakeasy bar. This setting makes it feel really special when visiting and like your going to some secret club. We arrived and were promptly greeted by the host and taken to our booth. Only 5 tables and a very intimate setting, great for dates! Our waiter and the service was amazing! We were very impressed by how quick food was coming out and how attentive the staff was. You are made to feel important and valued. Bogies went above and beyond for us in terms of service! We had gone the day before Valentines and I had made a special request for a dessert with a written message. They obliged free of charge! and handled it like pros, waiting for her to go to the restroom before scheming with me! She loved it and I appreciate the team for making it happen.CONS: The food and the prices.... Not much to elaborate on. The prices are kind of crazy, but it's fine dining and an exclusive experience so it would be worth it if the food was good....we had the Oysters and Steak Tartare for apps. Oysters were lovely and sooo tasty, steak tartare was average. For mains we had filet mignon and New York strip both were served nice and hot and cooked to a perfect Medium as requested unlike some other reviews... The filet didn't have much flavor at all but at least was super tender. The strip packed so much flavor and we both found it to be delicious. We also got the Mac and cheese which was very sad and not too cheesy! More like pasta in a yellowish watery soup. We took that home in a doggy bag and hopefully can revitalize it. Our bill came out to 300$ including the tip. For such an expensive dinner, we were really hoping the food would be way better. 3 stars for the service but have to knock some points off because of the food and pricing.
Try for a special night with 2-4 people
Unique and memorable dining experience. Great spot before a show. Service was excellent. Kevin really took care of us. Drinks are creative. Steaks are excellent. Bone marrow abd Tuna tartare were perfect apps.
Such an amazing dining experience.
I went with my best friend as a late birthday dinner and we absolutely loved the experience. They did have us wait at JM Curley and it was a bit awkward just standing around but we did not wait more then 10 minutes for our table. It was a unique and special experience. Our waiter was extremely informative and gracious. We shared a tomahawk and where automatically informed that it does take a little extra time due to the size of the steak and we loved being kept in the loop. The wait for it was actually not bad at all and we did not mind it. We didn't want an app since we got such a large portion of steak and just enjoyed the warm bread and compound butter it was paired with. I will absolutely be back and will recommend trying them out for a date night or special event for sure. The price for 2 was not bad compared to other steakhouses in the area.
I came to Bogie's Place when a friend was visiting Boston
I came to Bogie's Place when a friend was visiting Boston recently, and I really liked it! Bogie's Place is on the side of JM Curley's, tucked away behind a nice curtain. They are two ENTIRELY different establishments--not to speak poorly of JM Curley, as I think they have quite good food.Kevin provided EXCELLENT and friendly service from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. It's nice that it's such an intimate dining room, with seats for fewer than 20 people. I absolutely loved the interior and was surprised to see that we were the only people in the whole dining room for most of our reservation, although partway through, another group showed up at the long table in the restaurant.Except for in the very middle, my filet mignon was a touch overcooked for me. The mac & cheese was good, although nothing to particularly write home about. I am the sort of person who notices house bread & butter, and they had the sweet cream butter that's my favorite. Mmm good! I love the intimate atmosphere here and only wish there were some way to further insulate the noise from JM Curley's. I think Bogie's Place is a great place to come for an intimate date night. While the food wasn't mind-blowing for me, it was overall a great experience, and the intimate nature of the restaurant--combined with the limited seating--give it a very exclusive feel. This is a 4.5 that I'm rounding up to 5 for Kevin's service.

My wife and I had a date night at Bogie's and we both loved our food and drinks. 10/10 steakhouse/speakeasy experience.
