Boston


If you have a hankering for something different, duck into this tiny hole-in-the-wall with a retro, Prohibition-era theme. The atmosphere is super-hip and somehow secretive and the talented bartender mixes up inventive cocktails, as you would expect from a speakeasy. Adventurous souls might order the Dungeon Master, then roll the die to get a drink from the secret menu.
