"Though hard to find for the uninitiated, Backbar is worth the hunt, hidden at the end of a hallway inside a door on the edge of a back parking lot in Somerville: The cocktail list is far from ordinary and often includes Tiki-style drinks — or an option to have the bartenders whip up a drink of choice, including something rum- or fruit-filled. The bar even has its own collection of Tiki mugs (including the pictured shark)." - Dana Hatic
