Top 5 Cocktail Bars in Boston

Top Tier EditorialSourcesThe Boston Globe

  1. 1

    Backbar

    Union Square

    The Globe's hidden Somerville gem — rotating themed menus and custom drinks tailored to your flavor preferences.

  2. 2

    Temple Records

    Downtown

    The Globe's Japanese listening-bar pick — vinyl records, Japanese spirits, and a sushi counter downstairs.

  3. 3

    Parla

    North End

    The Globe compares walking into Parla to stepping inside an old fashioned — dark, wood-paneled, with modern Italian food and botanical cocktail twists.

  4. 4

    Bar Lunette

    Coolidge Corner

    The Globe's French cocktail-bar pick in the former Coolidge Corner Opticians storefront — try the Negroni-inspired Day for Night.

  5. 5

    The Wig Shop

    Downtown

    The Globe flags the playful Temple Place lounge — nine mannequin heads still in the window of the former wig shop, upscale cocktails inside.
