Barra

The 38 Best Restaurants in Boston | Eater Boston

"This intimate Mexico City-inspired bar is the type of place that connoisseurs of Latin American liquors can squeeze in shoulder-to-shoulder and have a stellar night making new friends while tasting sotol and bacanora. Those who are seeking a little more space can try out the festive sidewalk patio in warmer months; it’s the ideal spot to snack on tetelas and cactus salad with grasshoppers while drinking mezcal-based variations on classic cocktails. A bar tip: Order Barra’s take on a martini and switch out the smoky mezcal for racillia, a specific type of mezcal less commonly seen in Boston that has a sweeter, more floral taste profile." - Erika Adams
