Nestled in a former wig shop, this speakeasy-inspired lounge delights with playful cocktails, cozy ambiance, and light bites, making every visit a charming escape.
"Located in an actual former wig shop, the Wig Shop is now one of Boston’s buzziest cocktail bars. Run by the mega-talented Oscar Simoza, the cocktail menu is wildly playful — take, for example, the Rise & Grind, a coffee cocktail topped with whipped cream and served in a teacup with a mini croissant on the side — and there’s always great vibes in the space. Be prepared for a wait to get in, though." - Erika Adams
"From the team behind jm Curley and Bogie’s Place comes equally fun next-door neighbor the Wig Shop. This Downtown Crossing cocktail lounge, an homage to its predecessor Wig World, is simultaneously playful and poised, with wig gags galore amid opulent blue velvet couches and gold drapes. It’s a fanciful setting for impressive drinks ranging from classic — like Bergamot spritzes and Remember the Maines — to fresh, including one with bourbon and sesame oil (Soy Boy) and a rum concoction spiked with so much caffeine you can only have one per visit (Rise & Grind). Champagne, wine and beer, and snacks like lobster-topped pancakes round out the package." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff
"Visitors to the Wig Shop might be on the verge of selecting a whole new look before they remember they’re not here to buy a wig; they’re here for a cocktail." - Celina Colby
