Such a cool and fun spot. Drinks are comparable to the best cocktail bars I have been to for a fraction of the cost.

Still one of my favorite cocktail bars in the Boston area. Great mixologists with lots of knowledge and keeping it fresh with seasonal drinks and continually to push the limits on unique and special cocktails.
If you wanna just get hammered, probably not the place for you unless you're trying to show off with limitless funds.
