Where are the Best Exotic Drinks in Boston, Massachusetts?
But unfortunatley not great people. They a trendy–or at least attempt to be trendy. Very young…my daddy is rich type crowd. The bartenders are rude and don’t know much about making a drink. Nice decor however. There roof deck is to be opening soon…hopefully the outside crowd won’t be as stuffy as the inside crowd.Pros + nice decorCons – crowded, expensive
I love the Cactus Club. I’ve had my fair share of happy hour get togethers here, and keep coming back.First off, just go order the Horni Margarita. It’s my drink of choice at Cactus. If you sit in the bar area, grab some half price appetizers Monday-Thursday from 4-7pm. I love the empanadas personally.The one time I sat in the dining room, the service was awful. Our waitress abandoned us multiple times (while waiting to order, while waiting for the bill, and while waiting for her to come pick up the bill so we could leave), and each time came back and said that she just forgot about us. One time she let us know she had gone out back for a cigarette. Great. After that, I haven’t sat in the dining room again. Instead I opt for the bar area. Grab a high top, a margarita, and enjoy the fast service and good food and drinks!Pros + selection of margaritas, delicious chips and salsaCons – rare to find parking, dining room service can be slow
Sure its crowded, and yes it is tough to move sometimes, but honestly, crowded bars come with the territory in Boston on a Friday or Saturday night. Show me bar that is not crowded during the weekend, and I will show you a place that noone cares about, and probably will not be in business for long. The cover ($3 downstairs, higher than that upstairs), is worth it, and has been known to be waived when the lines outside get too long. The best suggestion to avoid waiting in long lines is to show up before 11PM. Of Course the Scorpion Bowls are highly reccomended, good domestic beer selection as well. The Teriakey sticks can’t be beat for value ($1 for Chicken 2$ for beef), as well as quality. Great Crab Rangoon as well. Tell ’em Matt sent youPros + Staff, Drinks, Scorpion Bowl
I went the Tiki Room and had fun, but I wouldn’t make it an all the time thing. You definately pay for the atmosphere, because for three pu pu platters, a scorpion bowl, a pina colada, and two shots, it was around $160. And that was with 10% off. I don’t recommend the drinks there if you have a high tolerance; there’s not much alcohol in there. The food was alright, we had the Fenway and Classic Pu Pu, and then the S’mores Pu Pu, which I definately recommend. The quesadilla, buffalo wings, and egg rolls were the best. I don’t recommend the Peking dumplings. Also, the waitress didn’t give us our leis until the end of the meal, and we had to ask. I’d probably go back only occasionally or for a group night out.Cons – Parking, Price
Monday through Thursday from 5-7pm, Noir offers their food menu at prices ranging from $0-5. It’s amazingly easy to cobble together a meal from all the offerings. Drinks are pricier, mostly running over $10, but are well worth it for the combination of classics and unique seasonal libations. If you price it right, you can get out of Noir with dinner for under $20.The room itself is not particularly comfortable, but if you’re looking for a dark corner to enjoy your drinks in, you’ve found your place. Of course, if you also want to see what you’re drinking, you’re out of luck.Pros + 54321 bar menu, dark roomCons – drinks are pricy, dark room
