I’ve had this place on my to go list for a while. Finally got a chance to check this place out. It’s a well designed restaurant. I didn’t get to explore the menu too much. But I will definitely go back. Ended up getting churro waffle and it was delicious. Their drip coffee is strong, so be mindful of that. I will be going back for their super famous drag show.

Almost famous is a great little cozy spot on Mass Ave. They have great drinks and service, but the food menu is limited. During the day it is a coffee shop, and in the evening it turns into a cocktail bar. I've been for MANY drag shows. It's a small venue, so you need to get your tickets way in advance. They have a stage in the corner so you can see from any table. I've also been for their Christmas pop-up which is such a blast! The decorations are fabulous!

Beautiful interior. I hardly recognized that it was the old Comedy Sportz. I'm a huge fan of tapas, so I'm so happy there's a new place for it. We very much enjoyed everything we ordered. We went very early on a weekday, before a show & we were the only people there. I'm looking forward to going back for a drag show. I was also very excited that they had great mocktails.

loved this christmas-themed pop-up bar! staff accommodated our party of 5 in a pretty small booth well. the only thing was the service towards the end of the visit when we needed to get the bill and we had to flag down the waiter. he was overall very attentive. drinks were boozy and tasty, i’d go back for a nice after work cocktail again!

My rating is based on my experience with the food. I've been here a few times just for drinks and have always had a wonderful experience. The cocktails are fun the service is always exceptional and the ambiance is funky and fun. A friend and I decided to stop by for brunch. We ordered the pineapple waffle she got a chai latte and I went with the butterscotch latte. I wasn't aware that they made all the syrups in house and it's so delicious. I mean I gulped my drink fairly quickly I couldn't believe how delicious it was. We both ordered the short rib hash. The food arrived and we both realized our potatoes were nearly raw. The lighting made it hard to see but I believe the potatoes were bad as well. We took a few bites and had to send it back. Our server was apologetic and let us order the BLT instead. The sandwich was fine, kinda underwhelming and it was served with a pickle. I think house made that I'm assuming was also bad. I took a bite and it was sour in a rotten way. I woke up to being violently ill and this was the only thing I ate. I will definitely come back for the drinks but will unfortunately be skipping the food.

Stumbled into this place after we had dinner nearby. It is very cute and evidently a sister bar to Tini - didn't know it but it's an LBGTQ bar. Super cute and fun. They were setting up for a drag show. Had a tiki vibe inside, people watching was top notch. Cocktails were fun and creative. Service was very slow, guessing due to the incoming show. Will return for a drag show if I'm ever in the area!

Tucked away toward the end of Mass Ave, this little cocktail bar is serving up the best espresso martini you'll ever have. Period. Smooth, simple and not overly sweet, it'll convert any non believers. We went during December, so it's was decorated from top to bottom and featured a ton of fun seasonal cocktail options. Although we only grabbed drinks this time, I've heard they have killer food and entertainment so don't sleep on this hidden gem!
Highly recommend to make a visit to their Sippin Santa holiday tiki pop up. So many fun festive drinks and loved all the tropical themed mugs. It's a smaller bar so a great place for a girls night!

This is such a hidden gem coffee spot on Mass Ave! It's a bar at night and coffee/brunch spot by morning. It was decorated really nicely for Christmas The booth seating is super comfy and the service was very nice & quick.I ordered the Toffee latte (seasonal) and it was fantastic. It tasted so soft and subtle- the flavoring was perfect. Overall a perfect latte. I wish the cup was bigger for a $7 drink though.

This is such a little gem on Mass Ave! Tucked in you might not notice it at first. But when you walk in - it's a vibe. Randomly there was a Halloween themed drag show. We ordered oysters and the Bruselas & Setas. The oysters were great and the other - the sherry sauce was perfect over the roasted garlic and trumpet mushrooms. For my cocktail, I ordered a dirty martini - and it was perfectly filthy. My main - the costilla corta de cafe - had the most tender braised short rib atop a potato. The entire plate I cleaned. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful in making recommendations.

Based on the reviews I visited Almost Famous for a date night dinner. At first sight, you might not ask for a menu but I’m so glad we did. We decided to order tapas style, everything was outstanding. Particular standout was the grilled cheese (called something fancier on the menu). It was reasonably priced so we ordered way more than we needed - worth it! Notably the mocktail recommended by the waiter was fantastic. 5 stars, definitely coming back.
