Swanky 1920s lounge with speakeasy, live music & craft cocktails
"Inspired by Prohibition history, Carrie Nation is known for its robust bar program. Well before the trendy rash of speakeasies spread over Boston, this spot was fueling the city with 1920s-style cocktails. Order a sizable classic martini service with a sidecar or peruse a robust whiskey list. Though the aesthetic is dark and moody, Carrie Nation has also become known for its lively weekly drag brunch led by local queens." - Celina Colby

"The back room at Carrie Nation isn’t a speakeasy in the sense that you have to walk through a working toilet stall to get to it, it’s just down a long hallway and a little hard to find. Once you manage to find it, though, you’ll sip cocktails in what is essentially a 1920s gambling den, complete with vintage lamps, pool tables, and semi-hidden leather booths. There’s no one named Snakes with a set of brass knuckles in his vest pocket, but the cocktails are great." - dan secatore

"Tucked below neighborhood lunch spot Sportello, Boston’s mixology scene is alive and well and living at Drink. At this subterranean institution, you won’t be handed a cocktail menu, but rather will be asked what you’re feeling in the mood for today (y’know, “something smoky, with a hint of spice, that tastes like Fall…”). Enjoy the large cubes of hand-chopped ice, homemade bitters, and copious fresh citrus—not to mention what might be Boston’s best burger. (And—while not exactly appetizing—don’t forget to check out the collection of beautiful hand-labeled taxidermy insects, resting in glass boxes along the back wall.)" - Branding Iron @ Stantec
