Bespoke cocktails in a unique, garden level space. Great ambiance. No sign on the door which adds to the allure so... iykyk. We waited in line for about 15 - 20 minutes but worth it. The drinks were delicious, fresh and exactly what we wanted. The music was cool, the crowd was young and trendy. The a/c was kicking and was too chilly for us. I think the waitstaff's aprons need to be bleached because something smelled mildewy, but I am exceptionally sensitive to smells. Bartenders were friendly and knowledgable. Overall a super cool spot and a great experience. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time with a very talented and attentive bartender. I threw out some crazy combos (Jamaican rum nightcap & pimms cup but boozy ?) when I tasted each drink my mind was blown. This place is an absolute gem and I’m glad I got to experience it.

Pretty awesome little hidden spot. Bartenders ask you how you like to drink and craft you a cocktail based off your profile. I loved my drink Kevin got it on the head! If you are trying to find it you go in where it looks like you enter for a sport bar but head on down to the basement instead.

Great little down under Cocktail bar! Great bartenders! Great Cocktails! They'll make whatever you call, but also have a vast knowledge of mixers and spirits and will make you something you'll love based on components you identify as enjoying. They take pride in their creations and all Cocktails are made with love. Great Sazerac! Great Negroni! Fred was down to earth and a very nice man who clearly takes pride in what he makes for you. Dan was also veey friendly, knowledgeable and sweet! Thanks for creating a drink for me with ferret brwnca just because I wanted to see what it tasted like in a cocktail--you made it good! Will definitely go back when in town again.

I normally don’t write bad reviews. I’m giving this a two star because truly the man individual pouring our water was extremely kind. However, the bar tender was extremely rude. Asked what we liked. We tried to say some of our favorites and he rolled his eyes on what we liked. Well why ask them and just provide a menu. I don’t want to go to a bar for the bartender to roll his eyes at the word tequila or vodka. I mean come on aren’t those staples. Why be a bartender? Then he dropped off who knows what and never explained what we were drinking. Yes it was good but never returned for a second until 15 minutes after I was done without having a line up. Just disappeared. So if ya want an ok drink and a snarky attitude go to Drink.

A must try if you are in Boston. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. They make them from scratch just listening to your preferences a true mixology bar. Plus the food is also really good, please try the fries. The ambiance of this place is excellent for a night out with friends or a date. You can sit at the bar an enjoy watching the barman make magic with the drinks.

I love the drinks here, and I love that I get something different every time. The concept is that you tell them what you like or what you're in the mood for, and they mix something up for you according to those specs. Generally speaking, if you like the surprise and are up for trying something new, you'll likely enjoy it. If you know exactly what you want, and you expect them to follow a specific recipe, you're better off going somewhere else.I've had only 5-star experiences once inside the bar, but I dropped a star for the wait: There's no way to make a reservation or call ahead for a place in the queue. The line to get in moves like molasses, so you can expect to wait in a stairwell for a while depending on your timing. We waited 20-25 minutes the first time we came, even though there were only 5 or 6 people ahead of us in line, and at least twice that long the next visit. A reservation or call-ahead system would make a huge difference! Aim to go at low-demand times if you don't want to stand around. It's also worth mentioning that it's a bit on the pricey side - generally $15 per drink.

Had a pretty poor experience here - the place had pretentious vibes to begin with given there was maybe 15 people in there and they held a line at the door as if it was at capacity. Our bartender had major attitude, yelled at me for taking a picture of a photo on their wall, and didn't engage with us. We had the idea that this would be an experience place, where we give bartenders examples of what we like from a flavor perspective and they create something off-hand. This was not the case, or at least not for our group - the bartender said "this is a no menu place" and then handed us a menu... So we just ordered off of that in the end. We could tell he wasn't interested in providing that experience. The drink was good but came in a tiny chalice that was not worth the $17. Between that, the waiting for 0 reason, and the rude staff, I will not be back.

A truly unique bar experience. It's a little pricey but well worth it (and honestly not even much more than any other cocktail bar in the city).

Was in Drink last week and oh my god it’s the best bar ever. The tall fella with the beard and glasses who can salsa (Cris sp?). We yucked it up til the wee hours, what a renaissance man!? He told me stories that I can’t believe but you couldn’t make up. By the time I left he had really pulled me out of a dark place and had given me a stern talking to that I didn’t want to hear, but needed to hear. Good cocktails.
