18 Best Bars in Boston, From Sports Stalwarts to a Sake Tasting Spot | Condé Nast Traveler

"Barbara Lynch, Boston's reigning doyenne of hospitality, opened this cocktail lounge in Fort Point neighborhood in 2008. Ever since, its unique, menu-less approach has only grown better with age. The bar staff will ask newcomers and regulars alike the same question: "What can I make for you tonight?" Based on your mood—or theirs—that might result in a crisp, gin-based cucumber concoction, a Prohibition-era whiskey cocktail, or anything in between. A perfect snack menu includes spicy olives, deviled eggs, crostini, and the like, as well as a wagyu burger and a confit garlic grilled cheese." - Todd Plummer
