Visited for the first time during a girls’ night out, and I was so impressed! The atmosphere was perfect for relaxing and enjoying a few drinks, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. I absolutely loved the cozy, speakeasy vibe—it made the whole experience feel special. I would definitely come back again!”

Such a cozy and intimate space, with real character and excellent drinks. The service was warm and welcoming and the vibe was both charming and hip. Food menu was limited -- the cocktails are the draw. Entering through the arcade adds to the charm.

Barlette is an incredible, intimate bar that I can’t help but keep coming back to. The seasonally-rotating drink menu features cocktails with unique and fun thematic twists; I’ve tried almost every drink on the winter and spring menus and there hasn’t been a single one I didn’t like. The staff are also extremely friendly and the service is exceptional as well. I couldn’t recommend Barlette more.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Barlette!
We recently hosted a private birthday party at Barlette in Brookline, and it was beyond amazing! From the very first email, Rachel and Emily were incredible to work with — so responsive, warm, and accommodating to every little detail.
Emily went above and beyond by creating a unique signature cocktail for the birthday person — it was not only delicious but also perfectly captured the theme and vibe of our celebration.
On the night of the event, the entire staff was outstanding. They helped us with plating and arranging our food beautifully, checked in often to make sure every guest was taken care of, and made the whole evening feel effortless and special.
The cocktails, ambiance, and hospitality were top-notch. I can’t recommend Barlette enough for anyone looking to host an event or just enjoy an evening out with amazing drinks and even better people.

Drove an hour and paid for parking to get to the door and see it was closed for a private event. Went to bar lunette down the street instead!

One of the few places I have been to that does the speakeasy theme well. The atmosphere from the lighting, music, and overall 'intimate' feel from the smaller size of the bar plays into it.
Emily and crew are lovely and personable. Definitely recommend at least checking it out if you're in the area.

Finally posting a review after many visits, including for private events. It's a magical space where every detail is thoughtfully curated. The owners are experimenting and pushing boundaries to create something special and different. The cocktails are off-the-charts, and the bites - when offered - have always been phenomenal!

I recently helped host a surprise 40th Birthday Party at Barlette and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Rachel and Emily (the owners) were incredible, going above and beyond to ensure everyone had a fantastic time. They were attentive throughout the planning process and took great care in making sure all our questions were answered.
They were attentive, friendly, and crafted some of the most wonderful mixers I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. Each mixer was a masterpiece, perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and incredibly refreshing. All of the guests were impressed and thoroughly enjoyed the BYOB experience at the party.
The space itself is absolutely gorgeous. The decor is stylish and elegant, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're seated at the bar or lounging in one of the comfortable seating areas, the ambiance is perfect for both intimate conversations and lively parties.
The lighting, music, and decor all come together to create an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a place to host a party or just enjoy a night out with friends, I highly recommend Barlette. It's a gem that you won't want to miss.
