The Wallingford Dram

AMAZING, absolutely incredible vibes here and the staff are insanely good at what they do. came here after bfs bday dinner. if i could give ten stars i would!

Awesome place. Small and cozy, drinks are freaking phenomenal. Highly recommend.

One of the best spots on the Seacoast to get drinks. Great atmosphere & fantastic bartenders.

Best cocktail bar !!!! Bartender is a great guy

Jeff went above and beyond to welcome us into this establishment then made sure our experience was top notch. What an amazing team member you have! Thanks Jeff. The “make haste” and “Crunch punch” were fantastic.

Best cocktail bar anywhere around, connected to the best noodle bar anywhere around.

Loved this place with every ounce of my heart! The drinks the service the atmosphere is just perfection and I will be back!

Best cocktail bar on the Seacoast. On God.

I lived in downtown Boston (Beacon Hill and North End) for 15 years. In those 15 years I consumed many cocktails at numerous establishments. I’d put the Wallingford Dram’s cocktails up against any in Boston, including recently departed Drink. They are on point.

Scam. I found the Wallingford on here one day, so my husband and I went over on a whim. We love little hole in wall craft cocktail bars. It literally is a hole in the wall, with maybe 8 bar seats, and a few indoor tables (couple more outside, too). The employees were mega nice and it has the look of a craft bar, warm woods and lightening, but it ended up being a hipster sham. We found out a little too late that they don’t craft their cocktails by hand to order at all, rather they are batch made. What’s worse is, before knowing that, I asked to make a minor modification to a drink on the menu, simply switching the brand of vodka, to which the bartender replied that, not only was he unable to do so because it was made in big batches, but that he didn’t even know the measurements to make it at all. I’m sorry but if I’m paying $20 for a “craft cocktail” I expect it to be made by a bartender who knows how, and for it to be made fresh in front of me. The whole place lost its sizzle after that. You want to sell batch made cocktails? Great! But don’t fluff up the price and make a big show of it. Over $125 for 6 drinks and a saucer of spicy nuts (which were delicious). That’s too much for simply pouring from a jug.

ETA based on the restaurant’s response, as staff said in house, drinks are pre-made and that, to me, disqualifies them as a “craft cocktail” establishment. I have zero issue paying whatever price for a true craft drink and any number of nearby businesses seem to manage both clientele and crafting cocktails to order without issue, but I digress. We ordered from the main menu, so poured from a jug is spot on and that’s their right but I maintain it is misleading.
