Trina’s Starlite Lounge is a kitschy, laid-back Inman Square spot where inventive cocktails meet Southern-inspired comfort food like fried chicken and hot dogs.
"A longstanding bar in Somerville, Massachusetts, known for its Southern-inflected bar foods and playful appeal, featuring a popular hot dog tower." - Bettina Makalintal
"Trina’s Starlite Lounge has all the makings of a diner without actually being one. Let’s be clear: this is a good thing. They do great hot dogs, mac and cheese, and fried chicken dinners, all in a grungy-cool dark space filled with pinup photos from the ‘40s. It’s best for drinks on the weekends (get the espresso martini) and for brunch on Sundays and Mondays, when they crank out top-tier plates of eggs, hashbrowns, and chicken and waffles." - tanya edwards, lala thaddeus

"Hot dogs, cocktails, and joy. This Inman Square joint has been serving a perpetually delicious and approachable cocktail list for over a decade with drinks such as the Starlite cocktail (rum, Parfait Amour, lemon, and bubbles) and the Fallen Angel (a spicy mango margarita with a barbecue dusted rim), along with a variety of craft beers. (Although, some days just call for a big bucket of High Lifes.) Plus, the longstanding Monday brunch is a good opportunity for day-drinking; there are options such as the Adirondack (butter-infused bourbon and maple syrup with optional chocolate-covered bacon)." - Erika Adams, Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
