"This is the sister bar to The Walrus And The Carpenter, and while we usually find ourselves sipping on amaro here while waiting for a table next door, Barnacle is worth a trip on its own—and dare we say, it's even more fun when you make it your primary destination. They serve snacks like cured meats and cheeses, so it’s a good go-to for bitter-forward drinks and a light bite with someone you’d probably want a second date with." - Aimee Rizzo
