Bully Boy Distillers

"Dance your way into 2025 at Bully Boy’s New Year’s party at the distillery. Creative and comfy attire is encouraged and the distillery caps entry to keep the space from overcrowding. Tickets are $40 apiece and include a welcome cocktail, a midnight toast, snacks, and late-night pizza." - Celina Colby, Erika Adams

"In the tasting room at Bully Boy in Roxbury, you’ll find wrought iron gates, walls lined with wooden barrels, and ornate chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. It’s all kind of vampire-chic, which is appropriate considering you’re trying to recapture the night. Since this is a distillery, you’ll want to try as much as possible, so we recommend going with one of the flights." - dan secatore

"Bully Boy's Taproom is holding a holiday market with spirits, baked goods, candles, and other items from local purveyors." - Nathan Tavares

"Bully Boy’s distillery is next-level local. The Willis brothers grew up working on their family’s fourth-generation New England farm and in recent years, their Roxbury distillery has built up a cult following for its smooth whiskey, gin, rum, and vodka. Since opening an intimate, cozy 26-seat tasting room in 2017, it has also become one of the best craft-cocktail spots in the city. If you're having a hard time choosing, go for a flight like the "Boston Tea Party," a series of tea-infused cocktails." - Todd Plummer

"Back up: Tell us a little about this place. In recent years, this Roxbury distillery has built up a cult following for its smooth whiskey, gin, rum, and vodka. Since opening an intimate, cozy 26-seat tasting room in 2017, it has also become one of the best craft-cocktail spots in the city. Where else can you sip a beautifully made drink while gazing upon the copper vats where the spirit was made? So, who else are we likely to spot getting their drink on? This isn't a party spot for large groups; rather, this is where serious spirits aficionados come to sip on painstakingly poured cocktails. Speaking of which, how   are those drinks? Drinks, however creative they may be here, allow the spirits to shine. Try the Smoking Monk, an intriguing mix of gin, house-made chartreuse, lime juice, and wormwood bitters, or the Barron Spreckle, made with fig and vanilla bean–infused whiskey, house-hopped Amaro, Angostura bitters, and black walnut bitters. If you're having a hard time choosing, go for a flight like the "Boston Tea Party," a series of tea-infused cocktails. We're always up for something different, and those sound delish. How about the service—satisfactory, good, awful? This staff knows Bully Boy's spirits well and will even mix up something off-menu. Nice. So, at the end of the day, why should we pull up a chair here? Come to appreciate the fine tunings of a local distillery—for only $10 apiece, a bargain when it comes to Boston craft cocktails." - Todd Plummer
