Boston’s Hottest New Cocktail Spot Just Opened in a Mall Food Court | Eater Boston

"Tucked in the middle of the food court at CanalSide, I found C-Side Bar presenting inventive cocktails and a serious wine program from a team better known for destination cocktail bars. Ran Duan (of Blossom Bar, Birds of Paradise, and Baldwin Bar), Jon Rosse (Birds of Paradise), and Brahm Callahan (Himmel Hospitality Group) have leaned into '90s mall nostalgia with playful drinks like the Miami Vice — rum, coconut, and pineapple topped with a pink-hued salted strawberry daiquiri foam — and a Fruit Salad Negroni made with gin and Campari tossed with grape, pear, and honeydew melon. Much of the cocktail list is batched or on draft to serve crowds quickly, and C-Side handles all alcoholic drinks in the space. On the wine side, Callahan curated a range that runs from $10 glasses of Pinot Grigio to $495 bottles of Champagne, signaling this isn’t typical food-court beverage service and that they’re betting on attracting both local residents and nearby workers." - Erika Adams
