The Wig Shop

My boyfriend and I went here for the first time on Friday night and we had such a wonderful time!! The hostess Julia was fantastic and so kind and sweet. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to do her best to get us seated as soon as possible. She was kind and so welcoming and we had to give her a personal shout out. Our server was fabulous and fast and personable, and the manager stopped by to say hello as well which made us feel very special and like our patronage was appreciated. We aren’t from Boston, we were actually visiting from Canada and I can assure you on our next trip back to Boston we will be going again. :)

I came here on a Thursday night with a reservation and was seated promptly. Initially coming in I had high expectations since I’ve seen this place on social media and ultimately was disappointed in the end. In terms of drinks and food I thought it was not bad but I did enjoy how creative the drinks were. The ambiance was fun and dim giving it an intimate feel. For the service, I felt that our server was not attentive and purposely chose to ignore our table. Towards the end of the night, we requested for the bill twice and towards the 2nd time our server said that he would grab it so that prompted me to call our ride home since we were in a rush to get home. After 10 minutes later, we still never received our bill so that led us to tagging down the host. Throughout the whole entire time we saw our server standing around and not attempting to bring our bill over. Eventually another server came and gave us our bill and we left feeling unwelcomed and disappointed because of the lack of attentiveness. Our group felt that the staff did not feel welcoming and came with a lot of attitude.

Excellent cocktail bar. I’ve visited a few times over the past two years and it’s always a great experience. The ambience is cozy, musics good, service great, drinks are high quality. Not sure what these negative reviews about the service/hosts, has never been my experience. It’s a pretty small space so they don’t always have space for everybody who walks in.

A true gem! I went for drinks, solo and on a Saturday night. There was only a 15 minute wait and I was able to get into a small table for 2 by myself but seated cozily next to a couple. I loved the vibe, low lights and ambience. I had read a couple reviews about bad service but I had a phenomenal experience. My server, Derek, was great. A lot of personality and great recommendations. Went with his favorite, the Yo Soy, and I can't get that drink out of my head. Not something I would have ordered without him, and I would have missed out. So many fun and unique drinks to try. I was afraid it would be awkward by myself in a place with no bar area, but I had so much fun. I can't wait to return with someone special.

Me and my girls when here for the first time. On a Friday night for a couples of drinks. The host was lovely but our waiter was awful.The name she a gave us was “Lou “ with color hair, she arrived at the table with an attitude. We asked for top favorites and she gave nothing. She answered us with another question.Its like she didn’t know the menu to help first timers. She had a lot of attitude and very hostile. We could hardly see the menu because of the lighting and cursive writing. She came back with the drinks but before I put the drinks down. She tossed the coasters on the table and one fell on the floor. She did not apologize or give a new one. Then she told us what time for us to leave after handing our drinks to us. Drinks were OK, ambience was OK, Service was horrible and it’s not all that hype you see on n social media.

Finally had the chance to check this speakeasy out! It’s a cool little spot, and the interior was definitely different from what I imagined. There’s a bar, which I caught a glimpse of from our seat, but the main seating area has long drapes that create cozy, separated sections with comfortable couches and chairs. The menu is super creative and designed like a playbill, featuring a variety of fun, themed cocktails with cool names. They even offer absinthe! Great vibes, fun drinks, and while it wasn’t too crowded on a Thursday, there was still a good crowd.

Great service and atmosphere! Cocktails were good, and fun. We especially enjoyed the theme touches like the bobby pin on a cocktail and the check brought to us in a hair curler!

If it’s your first time what to expect you’ll be seated with another couple, if you came with a date at first you might be apprehensive like us. But it turned out to be such an exciting time socializing. If you pick the right drink you will love it me and my date was 2 for 2 . I recommend they extend their menu like like some sweet chili chicken bao buns, sweet potato fries, truffle fries, buffalo cauliflower bites and crispy chicken wings flats the small ones not the big awkward ones. And probably sell some wings as souvenirs or merchandise I have a direct link with distribution in D.R if you’re interested lol

This place is so Amazing , so clean. Thank goodness the line cook Steve that threatened little waitresses has been let go. I

What's not to adore. We went on a Wednesday night and no line and we had no reservation. Service was fabulous, they explained both the share table/couch and the 90 minute rule. The drinks and food were totally delicious. Great portion sizes. Ambiance was very cute, not too loud so could have a conversation. I'd go back here on a moment's notice!

Wanted to come here for awhile now. Finally pulled the trigger and went out after dinner with a friend last night Although not in the nicest area they said one hour wait so went across street for drink to kill time but it quickly was only 30 min wait We walked in and were told we would have to share a table with strangers which is a little weird... And have 1.5 he at the table. So we got some fun recommendations for drinks. Very fun cool drink menu! The bathroom downstairs was a little sketchy the sink faucet nearly came out of sink base. But bartenders was super helpful with drink recommendations and attentive. They always very very attentive to filling water which I love. Was a fun spot glad we came and tried it!

This place is really giving Speakeasy vibes! If you're looking for an elevated drink menu, then you definitely want to make your way here. However, you should know three things: 1.Reservations are required 2. Beignets are no longer offered 3. There's a 90 minute seating limit The beignets and drinks were the only reason I came to this place. Annnnnd baby!!! They weren't on the menu. Which was a huge disappointment for me! I ordered the upstaged Margarita with a delicious whipped cream. The actual name slips my mind. For small bites, we had the potatoes that were fried and drizzled with two different sauces. The potatoes were delicious! Because they were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also tried the crab fritters. Not my favorite...the flavor just wasn't there.

The ambiance of the place is pretty cool. The service is pretty quick. The drinks are expensive but the quality is there. Not sure if they take reservations but we did have to wait about 20 mins for a table. The place is small. We were a party of 2 seated across from other guests we didn't know and shared a table space, I didn't mind it.

Amazing drinks nice little spot. Had 2 drinks the Pony Star and the Rise N Grind. Both equally amazing. My one issue with the place is service everyone is very nice but they aren't as attentive as should be. It seems everyone shares the table we were so you would hope someone stopped so you can place an order.

Loved coming here to relax and enjoy their ambiance! We anticipated a long wait on a Friday night, but we only waited 30min! It was easy to kill this time by walking nearby, and when our time came, a very friendly staff member brought us to our couches/seats. The place is pretty small, but seems like it fits a good amount of people, and each table is divided by long curtains which helps it feel more intimate. Their menu has plenty of drinks for people of all tastes, each with a unique spin. The two drinks we tried were amazingly delicious, sweet and tasty! We also tried the absinthe for fun, which was an interesting experience with the large water dispenser and sugar cubes. Absinthe isn't for me, but I can see how the way it's served entices people to try it! We also tried their patatas, not expecting much. But surprisingly, I think their patatas are the best in Boston!! They were slathered in a yummy sauce and fried perfectly, I could've eaten them all night! Overall, I would definitely come back!

We went to wig shop on a Tuesday night, so there was no line. We had tried to go once on a Friday, but it was too packed and for good reason. Wig shop is a speakeasy and it wasn't entirely clear what it was going to look like from the outside. The inside is really cute and intimate, with comfy couches and chairs. You have to sit facing another party, which was interesting, so be prepared to make friends! The drinks here were by far some of the most creative and best I've seen in the Boston area. Lots of times, places experiment with drinks and they aren't quite that good, but everything we had here was top notch. The star of the show was the Yo-Soy. Served in a soy sauce bottle, the drink has soy sauce, sesame oil, and blueberry. It sounds crazy but it is INCREDIBLE! I am still thinking about this drink. I also had the 2-4 cut time which was a really well balanced mezcal drink. We also had the patatas bravas which were really good! A good sized portion that was very saucy and a great companion to the drinks.

For most of our visit this hidden bar was a great experience. The service was very nice and the drinks were all very unique and refreshing. I would genuinely recommend the drinks! The atmosphere was laid back and we were enjoying our time. Then we started having issues with our food order. We ordered beignets at the same time as our drinks yet other patrons who sat down much later than us got theirs in a timely manner. After multiple check-in with our waiter we finally got our beignets. Unfortunately, despite being almost burnt on the outside the inside was completely raw. The staff was very kind and apologized for their mistake, but it was too late into our visit to rectify the disappointment.

I used to love this place and would bring all my visiting friends here, but unfortunately, the quality has really gone downhill--especially the service. The front desk staff was unwelcoming, passive-aggressive, and annoyingly sarcastic. If you're tired of dealing with arrogant people-haters, you should definitely take your friends somewhere else where you'll actually be appreciated. (Photo is from the good old days)

Knowing I would be staying for a couple of nights at the Omni Parker House downtown, I did some Yelp searching to see what speakeasies or cool cocktail bars would be short in distance to check out. I discovered one called The Wig Shop, whose front looks like an inconspicuous retail store with a window arranged with wigs and a neon sign that read "Wigs." Needless to say, I was going to check this place out. Upon arriving in my Uber, I walked down the darkened street to this sketchy storefront with wig displays and a "Wigs" sign. I opened the crack-house-like door to discover the vintage-style speakeasy lounge with peach-like curtains separating certain seating areas. Upon being seated at one of the cozy revolving chairs, we perused through the menu that's designed like a 50s wig design magazine but showcases all of the cocktails and eats that they have available. For my money, the Coco Brutta was class with lovely tropical vibes, served with Coconut Cartel rum, Faccia Brutto, chai, pineapple, coco cream & lime. Additionally, my wife and I split an absinthe drip with St. George, which was quite magical -- something I hadn't experienced in a minute and was glad to have the opportunity again. The establishment allows typically 90 minutes to enjoy your time at the speakeasy before needing to make room for the next parties that may be waiting up front. The Wig Shop is definitely a place to check out if you love cool speakeasies that hide behind unassuming, inconspicuous storefronts that look like you could get robbed in front of... but not, of course.

We slipped in without a reservation on a packed night, yet the staff seated us efficiently. My coworker and I ventured into absinthe territory (in a classy, swirling service that everyone commented on). At the same time, another pal sipped a non-alcoholic cocktail that still looked like a showstopper. Everyone else went all in on the house concoctions, which were inventive but never too precious. Between the vintage-glam decor, the warm welcome, and the sumptuous sips, The Wig Shop proved to be a hidden gem--disguised in plain sight. If you need a spot where Mondays don't mean "closed," sneak behind the storefront and raise a glass. Cheers!

This unique little speakeasy has a funky store front. When you walk in beyond the curtain you are enticed by the dark , cozy atmosphere of couches and curtains. The cocktails are delicious with some unique ones on the list. The food if you are gf is extremely limited to chickpeas, olives, and cheese board w no crackers. However, if you are looking for a great drink this is your place.

Finally got to try this spot out this past weekend & it didn't disappoint! They quoted a 45-1hr long wait, but it only took around 30 min. The space is small inside but I love the vibes. All the drinks we got were good, my fave was the Cinemax after dark. We got the burrata flatbread, which was delicious and perfect for sharing. I also got a wagyu slider and could have eaten 10 of them lol. They do seem to take the 90 min limit somewhat seriously, but that was enough time for us and I didn't feel rushed. Deff will come back!

Love this Boston speakeasy with creative cocktails (matcha cold foam?!) and an ambiance that is lively even on a late Wednesday night. Waiters are incredibly kind ready to give the best service and their knowledgeable recommendations

Such a fun speakeasy in Boston! The front is very unassuming but one you open the very sketchy-looking front door you find a very nice cocktail bar. We came right around 5 on a Sunday and luckily had no wait, but it did get busier throughout the night so would highly recommend a reservation. We had a few different drinks during our visit and loved all of them. The presentation is great and the drinks are super unique. Highly recommend!

This review is for the TERRIBLE service my friends and I received. We were a group of 6 with a reservation. Wish we got everyone's name during the night of May 25th because everyone was not in the mood! From ordering, asking for water, even going to the restroom we got stare downs like we don't belong there. We asked if we can split the check & my god the attitude! You could've just said no. What a shame of an establishment. Really good drinks but the most awful service in my life! The worst place I went to in Boston.

Walked in on a Tuesday night without reservation and we were able to get seated without any wait. Maybe the trick is to come here on weekdays. A small place but they made use of the space efficiently with the seating and the comfy chairs. I like the fact that you are not packed so close with other parties and still have this chill lounge feel. I am a little disappointed that there was no bar seating though - I personally love bar seats more at cocktail bars. Also, the decor and interior is really nice but I feel like they didn't play into the name The Wig Shop. The menu, on the other hand, is top tier. Detailed picture description of the drinks and I am blown away by the variety! The drinks did not disappoint either. The service is okay overall but I feel like it is a little sparse (I had to ask the host how we order/ how this works) because we were not getting any servers attending us for the first eight- minutes? I love the drinks but the place itself doesn't have a wow factor I was expecting. -6.8/10

The Wig Shop is an intimate cocktail lounge with a super cool vibe. The drink menu alone is worth coming in to see. We lucked out without a reservation on a Saturday. When we stopped by at 7:45pm, a table was available for 45 minutes, so we took it. Smart decision! Super creative drink names and ingredients. I ordered the Channing Ta-Yum and it was delish. Made with Bolivian grape brandy, it packed a fruity, refreshing taste. It's served in a huge glass, so there is plenty to share. Would love to return to order more drinks and some food items.

If you love a beautifully done cocktail come here! Such. Fun experience and very intimate setting! So much fun! And the service is amazing!!

I truly believe this was the best meal/drink combo I've had in Boston thus far. We started at the wig shop. I got the "I feel pretty". This drink was 10/10, no notes. If I could drink it daily, I would. Next, we asked if there was any availability at the connected steak house (Bogie's place). The staff was great at accommodating us at the bar. We got the crab cake, wedge salad, and the ribeye. I was OVERWHELMED by how delicious every single thing was. Food drinks and vibe are absolutely amazing! Highly recommend getting a reservation and trying out this spot.

Pretty cool speakeasy bar in Downtown Boston. They have a nice list of cocktails in a themed menu as well as a minimal food selection. The atmosphere is pretty intimate and relaxed, with couch seating for groups. We also got charged for what we think was another group's bill, as it had way more drinks on it than we had ordered, which could have been an honest mistake but just make sure to double check your receipt.

My only regret is that I tainted my palate with other, substandard cocktails before coming in here. This was the one place I discovered during my Boston adventure research that I knew had to be visited - it was a cocktail spirit animal. You know it when you see it. It had multiple edgy bourbon-based cocktails, and the menu looked like a mishmash of magazine ads from the 1940s. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I initially stopped here around late dinner time (maybe 7:30ish?), only to be told there was a 90-minute wait (that seems to be incredibly common from other reviews). The Wig Shop doesn't take reservations, so you're basically at the mercy of its popularity on a given night. An uncomfortable reality of having great taste. We got a text alert that our table was ready while we were still eating dinner nearby, but thankfully when we came back around 10:30, they had immediate availability and we were seated in the first room by the door. Despite being told there was a 90-minute limit on seating, I'm positive we were there for at least two hours and probably more, but the miserable early March rain kept the Gen Zers at bay for the most part. There was no way I wasn't going with the Mala Vida, which featured BFF bourbon, cinnamon, passionfruit and coffee. That combo had no business being perfect, and I'm having fun imagining a hipster science lab (plaid shirts instead of lab coats) where someone figured that one out. Delicious. Easily a top 10 cocktail of all time for me, and again, that's having already diluted my palate earlier in the evening - if I'd come into this one fresh, I might be making more dramatic statements. I had at least two of these, and would have made a return trip at some point during the weekend if we'd had more time to play with. The service was great - we were certainly in no rush, which helped, but I don't recall ever looking around for a new cocktail. And alternatively, no one was oppressively bearing down on us throughout the experience, which wouldn't have been THAT surprising given the table time limit we were given. True to speakeasy form, it was super dark in there - there are pictures of us that literally and figuratively will never see the light of day. There WAS enough light to see the people on the opposite couch, who were very nice - everyone we interacted with was very pleasant. I suspect being in a wig shop speakeasy has that effect on most people. Strong, strong recommend. If you're looking for actual wigs to purchase though, you'll probably be disappointed.

The Wig Shop was my favorite spot I stopped in during my weekend trip to Boston. I had discovered it while researching some post-dinner drinks in the area and was drawn to the unique drinks. We put our name down for about a 1.5 hour wait. When we received the text that our table was ready, we arrived to a cute little area with a small couch and some comfy seats. Service was really friendly and quick, but we didn't feel particularly rushed or pressured to order a second drink. That said, there is a 90-minute limit that they warned us about when we arrived, so keep that in mind! Drink-wise, I ordered the Helena and my friend ordered the I Feel Pretty. We both thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and while we didn't order food, the food menu looked fun. One other thing that I really appreciated about the atmosphere was that it definitely had a speakeasy feel to it, but wasn't overly crowded and didn't feel pretentious like some other speakeasies I've been to. All in all, I would certainly recommend The Wig Shop to anyone looking for a cool cocktail spot.

Would highly recommend the sliders, hummus, and lobster pancakes!! Dirty Martini was not that great, but in trying others drinks those were delicious.

Cool spot with a small food and drink menu, but truly gives off speakeasy vibes. I'm not an advent drinker, so the drinks came off as super strong for me but they're all creative. It was dark and moody, so a perfect date spot!

Made a reservation for 4 people on a Friday. The group was very excited to try this place as we live locally and love a great cocktail bar. When we arrived they seated us next to the host stand so anytime a group walked or had to wait they were on top of us and it was a cold night so we also had to keep our jackets on. The hostess was rude and it took 20+ mins to get drinks. Overall just was not a pleasant experience so we opted to leave after 1 drink. The drinks themselves though were good.

This place was very nicely decorated with good vibes. Definitely recommend "I Feel Pretty" and "Coco Brutta" if you like sweeter drinks. If you like to be adventurous the "Yo Soy" was a great savory cocktail and honestly blew my mind. Expect very casual service and a few pricey bites are available. We tried the lobster pancakes which were a little spicy and very small. Also, as a smaller party we were warned that we may have to share the booth we were in with another smaller party.

Atmosphere: a great speakeasy that doesn't try too hard to be a speakeasy. If you know it's there is obvious but if you aren't looking for it, it's well hidden. The hosts and lounge greet you immediately when you open the door. The overall vibe of the place is very cozy, comforting lighting, and the design embodies the prohibition era nicely. But besides the wigs out front, the wig theme doesn't really continue indoors. Service: our waitress was so kind and went into great detail about the drinks when I asked about their profiles. She really wanted us to have a great experience and choose the right drink and was very knowledgeable! Drinks: very pretty! The rise and grind was a typical espresso martini, but the whipped cream added a fun touch. The Helena wasn't anything special in my opinion, just a sweetened tequila, but my friend loved it. The I feel pretty was the favorite of the bunch- pretty sweet, a bit tart, not strongly alcoholic, and the foam on top wasn't too sweet. Definitely would come again! Be sure to make reservations as even on a Monday night the place fills up. Also, the online menu is a bit outdated, so they don't have some drinks available.

We stopped here before a dinner reservation with a group of 7 to have drink and were brought to a really cute room downstairs that we had to ourselves without waiting. The service was excellent and drinks were really tasty. Our drinks were around $18 each but we really liked the atmosphere.

The Wig Shop is a perfect pre-dinner drinks spot if you're trying your luck for an opening at a restaurant in Chinatown. Fan favorite is "I Feel Pretty", which is a great fruity drink, but a bit sweet for my taste. I actually really enjoyed the "Grey Pearl", a fun mix of gin, sake, lemon and jasmine tea--I love a good egg white based cocktail. We also ordered some beignets as a little dessert before dinner. I was they were cooked a tad bit longer, but the banana curd + chocolate combo was fab.

Fancy cocktails. Unique atmosphere. Come here for next level curated cocktails and an experience. Shared seating means we got a front row seat to an awkward first date. Yo soy cocktail was yummmmm and so unique. Many layers. 2-4 cut time cocktail was a perfect mezcal drink. Well balanced.

Swanky cocktails and delicious bites. Highly recommend the hummus platter. Make a reservation for a Saturday night or walk in promptly at open. The service is a little slow so relax and enjoy!

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. Drinks were impeccable. Atmosphere is exactly how I envision a real speakeasy feel. Some people feel the menu leans a bit on sweet drinks. You can get just about any traditional cocktail too. The drinks I had were all top rate!

Ok, so I've only made it here once, but I loved it!! We were able to get seated relatively quickly as a party of two without reservations on a Saturday night, and the service was impeccable. It has a very fun lounge-y vibe, not trying too hard, but interesting and cool decor. Some speakeasys are just like... over the top, or too polished, and I feel like this place hit the notes exactly right. I can't remember what my husband ordered but we both loved our drinks. I had something with coffee infused Campari, and while I love the flavors I am somewhat caffeine sensitive at night, and the server was very sweet in inquiring about how much coffee was used. I am always embarrassed and feel like an old lady whenever I have to inquire about caffeine, but he made me feel like I had nothing to be embarrassed about! Definitely can't wait to come again and try more drinks and some of the snacks!!

a dimly lit sexy little speakeasy with delicious drinks! wow! what a fun and cool spot. cocktails felt like a masterclass...the soy boy??? so impressed. the flavor pairings the bartenders are putting together really blew me away. came on a busy saturday night with a reservarion and had to wait around 20 minutes. hostess was super sweet, service from the servers was just okay.

My girlfriends wanted to check out this speakeasy while in town. I gotta say, I loved the concept & the witty names they came up for all the drinks. I went for a mocktail & I love how they made a drink for me based on my flavor profile. I chose grapefruit & the drink the bartender made me was delish - light and not too sweet or too carbonated. Service was fab & the vibe was on point. Pro tip: make ressies on Resy!

Fun concept with the eclectic wigs in the storefront window and sleek cozy interior once you actually enter. We made reservations for 5pm on a Friday and were seated right away. It started to get busy around 6, so would recommend reserving if you can. Service was very attentive. Sometimes speakeasies are so caught up in curating a vibe, that they forget to make good drinks. The wig shop does not! We tried 4 different cocktails and each one was delicious. Highly recommend the likely suspect and peach kaiju!

Fantastic speakeasy in Boston! The outside looks like a creepy wig shop - upon entering you are transported to a European style cocktail lounge. The menu is expansive and we were blown away by the quality of the cocktails.

Thought the drinks were unbalanced, too much spice (tougarashi, allspice). Wagyu slider was cooked to well-done so ruined the wagyu (if there was any.) Potatoes were not crispy and again the flavor profile was too spicy. Good ambiance and service.

Saturday night vibes called for The Wig Shop for after dinner drinks! So glad that we had an opportunity to finally enjoy this place! One thing I will say is, I highly recommend taking the train since they're minutes from Park Street or having an Uber drive you there because Temple Pl. is not the easiest to park on. Note: It looks like they do discount parking at one of the local garages, check out their website for further details. It wasn't hard to find since the window front clearly had a plethora of wigs but the arrival was quite mysterious. You think that it might be closed with only the wigs lit up, but I'll assure you they're open until 2am. We had exactly 6 people in our party, which was perfect and I was surprised that they were able to seat us right away. While walking to our table (or should I say: comfy, lounge sofa) sounds more accurate; It was quite sexy & romantic, and the ambience had me looking in every direction. They do have a really nice cocktail list with small bites. Service was excellent! We know we will definitely be back again.

My cousin wanted to check out this speakeasy bar that he's heard a lot about. It's located in between Bogie's Place and Democracy Brewing on Temple Pl in Downtown. There's only street parking around the area which could be very difficult to find in downtown. The exterior looked like a salon that sold wigs (lol) but walking in, the interior was quite small that could hold about 30 people. The lights were dimmed but there was a small table light in the middle. I still had difficulty reading the menu LOL. The menu was quite cute with different drink drawings, mimicking a menu of purchasing a wig (peep at menu pics). I got one of their new hair do's: Grey Pearl which was with gin, sake and jasmine tea. Interesting combination but a very good one at it! It was definitely a bit stronger but the taste was amazing! My cousin got their Bergamot Spritz and that was good too. Honestly loved the variety of drinks offered as they were quite unique combinations. Fun place to hang out with friends or on a date to explore different drink combinations. I believe there were also small bites to order with a sister restaurant next door.

Overall: quaint speakeasy in the middle of downtown Boston. Low lighting, comfortable seating, and exceptional drinks all around. Strong, sweet, dry, you name it. Their gin based drinks provide a clean dry palate to add their mixers of choice. The fruity drinks range from slightly tart to an almost syrupy texture. Lastly, their "stronger" whiskey, bourbon, etc type of drinks give a more modern spin on classics such as old fashions and Negronis. Service: very business as usual service without wasting time to be too friendly as they rollover tables often.

Love a good speakeasy! Fun undescript entrance, great low light ambiance, cocktail menu had unique options. Couch seating was comfortable. Light snacks available.

They had so many fun unique cocktails here and there's something for everyone! I ordered a drink that was not on the menu which was offered to me by our server. It was their own spin off of an old fashioned and it was delicious!!! Our server was so friendly and funny, he made a good recommendation based off of what I usually drink. Highly recommend this place for a fun drinks and a cute date spot!

Drinks were awesome and creative, we especially liked the mala vida. The staff were also really nice and the place had an overall cool vibe. Definitely recommend :)

One of my absolute FAVORITE spots in Boston! Legit speakeasy that really does look like a wig shop from the outside - if I wasn't looking for it, I'd walk right on by without realizing it, so it really does give a cool feel walking in. Both times I've been have been with a reservation and I highly recommend making one to ensure you get seated right away. The physical menu itself is cool as fuck - it legitimately looks like a salon menu of services, though it's even better because it lists out all their amazing cocktails and food. It's also the type of place where you can share what you're into and they'll make it for you! Some of the cocktails I've had there include: -I Feel Pretty ($18) - Ketel One (Citroen), raspberry, elderflower with an amazing glitter foam - this is SO good and is just the right amount of boozy without being too sweet, plus the glitter foam was so pretty! -Helena ($18) - Don Julio Blanco, elderflower, grapefruit, and a cotton candy foam - clearly I'm a foam lover and this was so well-balanced and delicious! -Sunday Service ($18) - blanco tequila, Aperol, ginger, lemon, and cucumber - SUPER refreshing, really delicious and a little too easy to drink.. -Soy Boy ($18) - Bourbon, togarashi, sesame oil and served in what looks like a soy sauce container. I think the only cocktail I wouldn't recommend - it literally tasted like a boozy soy sauce - was interesting for the first few sips, but more of a novelty than an enjoyable drink (IMO). They have a ton of others, including a decent absinthe menu and wine/beer list as well for non-cocktail drinkers. Even with disliking the Soy Boy, it was still innovative and you can see the craft that goes into the creation of these different cocktails. The Wig Shop also has small bites - I wouldn't necessarily come there starving (especially because the cocktails are definitely strong), but they have some really good small plates - including my favorite, lobster pancakes which are exactly how they sound and somehow work beautifully together. We've also ordered the hummus (the hummus itself was DELICIOUS, but it did come with brussels sprouts when we last ordered it, which can be a hit or miss depending on if you love them or not), and they also used to have this black garlic shrimp toast that was also to DIE for. Lots of great varieties of bites to accompany the incredible drinks. The overall vibe is also really chic and perfect for a date night, double date, girls' night, etc. You really cannot go wrong with hitting The Wig Shop. It's a place I love and will absolutely continue to recommend and visit!

Make a reservation on Resy or roll up at opening time to snag a spot in this cozy speakeasy. Lower your body to the cozy velvet sofa or chair, select a drink (may I recommend the Vesper) and snack on a slider. A fun spot to visit for a date or with friends before checking out WNDR museum or strolling around downtown crossing to see how much it's changed.

It's a pretty nice speakeasy cocktail place. The outside has a sign that makes it look like a wig shop. The interior is more intimate and has a relaxed vibe. They have some good cocktails and some snacks that you can get. The service is also pretty friendly. (I believe it may be the same owners as the bar next door).
