"Listening bars are taking over Boston, and we’re welcoming the takeover. There are three new cocktail bars on this list alone that are in that genre: Temple Records in Downtown Crossing, Trillium’s new Headroom Hi-Fi Lounge, and, as of October, Spy Bar in the South End. You’ll find classic drinks here, as well as a handful of remixed classics, but the highlight of this new cocktail bar and listening lounge is the space on the menu that general manager Marco Anaya has reserved to play around. In the opening menu, that means desserts in drink form, from a Mango Lassi with rum, mango, saffron, and other spices, to a whiskey-soaked Peach Cobbler." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff
