In Short
The calming water theme--bubble jets fill the spot's glass walls--offsets a frantic environment. Count on shouting over throngs shouting over loud music (provided by a house DJ). Tables and banquettes are first come, first served, and usually in demand. When the weather agrees, the outdoor roof deck proves popular.

It's a nice place to go to for beers and appetizers. I am not a fan of their cocktails. The food is good. I especially like their pulled pork nachos. On Thursday and Fridays, they have free sliders during happy hour. It never gets too crowded so you can converse freely and have some personal space. It's a solid restaurant bar that you can depend on to unwind after work.

I went to Aqua on a thursday night. Hanging with friends, looking forward to having a nice time. Well I have to say, this was a really slow night and a female bartender took forever to wait on me at the bar. When she decided to work, she had a nasty attitude. My drink wasn't great, being the tonic water was flat. When I said soemthing about it, she had an attitude about it and then it took whomever what seemed like a 1/2 hour to change the tank, with no apologies. This woman was so obnoxious. She wanted to profile more than anything. I really wasn't feeling like leaving her a tip. Finally, she was done working and a guy took over. He was pleasant and professional. I left a tip and I certainly hope he got it cause, Missy didn't deserve it. If you don't want to give excellent customer service, than you need not work where customer satisfaction is important!

Get there early the line can be long, and sometimes they have a cover. As a whole this is my favorite hotspot in Boston. The crowd is attractive and trendy, young, but not college kids. Its not as pretentious as some of the other spots in Boston. Great drinks, quick service. Also great for the afterwork crowd all the financial district folks can be found at Aqua on a Friday night, powersuits and all. Overall great spot. Highly recommend, although I've heard all about this roof deck, but have yet to actually confirm its existence!
