About Backbar

Backbar in Boston is a popular spot for cocktail lovers, offering a fixed price for all alcoholic drinks. The team works smoothly together to create a fun and memorable experience. The cozy seating area features a mix of signature cocktails inspired by songs, with some seasonal options like Aquarium jazz, which was highly praised for its great smoked whiskey base. The menu also includes non-alcoholic cocktails and a few bar snacks, such as walnuts covered in syrup that might interfere with the cocktail flavors. The bartenders are friendly and willing to craft drinks based on guests' preferred flavors, often resulting in creative and delicious off-menu options. The atmosphere can feel a bit dated, as some reviews suggest, but the fun vibe and themed nights like Nerd Boi Monday add to the experience. Service is attentive, accommodating dietary restrictions and ensuring a good visit. Customers enjoy the incredible cocktails, especially when trusting the bartenders' creativity, and many look forward to returning for another night of great drinks and a fun atmosphere. Entry requires ID, and a mandatory 20% tip is added to the bill.
