    speakeasy in Cambridge with the best cocktails I've had in a while. Sister Mary and Two Caravels are a must try, along with their watermelon salad (yes!). Bit too loud but it's worth it.

    It is hard to find but worth it. They make great drinks so let them know what you like & they will craft a cocktail for you. Or go with your drink. Either way you will walk away happy.

    It's the unmarked door next to Central Kitchen. Travel up the stairs for a chill atmosphere.

    If you're spending time with me, I'm probably taking you here at some point. It's that good. The atmosphere and the cocktails are second to none.

    Favorite bar in Boston. Cocktails are highly addictive, more so than usual. Trust the bartenders, they know what they're doing. Mezcal and bitters.

    Always a great menu of craft cocktails that changes very regularly. One of the most fun cocktail bars in Boston/Cambridge

    Prepare yourself for it to be very loud here. You get an interesting mix of folks who're cocktail adventurous and otherwise.

    Yummy cocktails. Ask for the Sentimental Gentleman. It's not on the menu but a great bourbon.

    How is jt? Freakin' amazing. My favs - The Temporary Fix and the Lion's Paw (or claw - it's off menu; a true classic cocktail).

    This place is seriously amazing. The service is impeccable. They don't let too many people in, so it's not too crowded. I don't think you can find better in the area!

    Deliciously strong drinks. Forget name exactly but corn n oil served over ice is my go to. Also, DTO shots are a treat.

    The drinks are awesome (as every other tip states), but don't sleep on the food. The Oyster Po' Boy is addiction-forming.

    The French fries with crispy duck confit & gruyere is a must! As my friend describes it: orgasmic.

    "Temporary Fix" is maybe the best cocktail I've ever had. Next time though ... I'm going for the "Crush on a Stripper."

    Cocktails were good but not stellar. People near us had the burger and it looked enormous!

    Best French fries in Boston. Sat in a bed of warm gruyere and covered with crispy duck and jalapeños.

    This used my go-to cocktail bar in Central, but it's now very loud all the time ...

    For my money, the "Streets of Gettysburg" is the best drink on the menu. Give it a try.

    The sister Mary is dangerously delicious. St Germain elderflower liquor and vodka. You'll be swaying to the holy ghost on your walk home.

    A very cool looking bar that has a massive oval copper table. Try the Sentimental Gentleman cocktail.

    I think this place would be 10 times better if it were a mile away from Harvard. I don't think the clientele exactly appreciates or enjoys the product. Also please STFU!

    Meadowlands is the quintessential fall cocktail. Applejack, apricot, and , bitters over crushed ice. No better way to end a day spent apple picking.
