"In the heart of Union Square, down a hallway accessed from a driveway that leads into a back parking lot, Somerville’s hidden piece of cocktail heaven awaits. The supremely cozy-yet-trendy Backbar follows in Drink’s footsteps with bartenders ready to stir up a drink based on the drinker’s whim, but there’s also an ever-changing menu full of much to explore." - Erika Adams
