  2. 02

    Tilde

    Coffee spot that becomes a wine bar at night — rotating local art, in-house syrups, intentional domestic wine list, genuine third-place energy.

    South End - Jaho Coffee Roaster & Wine Bar

    South End · $$

    Cinnamon lattes, matcha martinis, jalapeño cheddar bagels — coffee shop that doesn't just do coffee. Wine too.

    Casual, kitschy bar with serving up eclectic eats & drinks, plus Elvis memorabilia on the walls.

  6. 06

    Foxhole

    Back Bay West · $$$

    Good burgers, better bartenders — the kind of place where staff actually cares. Cocktails, late-night snacks, easy conversation.

  7. 07

    Fool's Errand

    West Fens · $$$

    Small, hard to find, retro lighting—the bartender remembers your drink. Creative cocktails, wines by the glass, weird snacks. Apéro or stay for hours.

  8. 08

    Deep Ellum

    South Side · $$

    Small, convivial gastropub with eclectic fare, a long craft beer list, classic cocktails & a patio.

  9. 09

    Hopewell Bar & Kitchen

    Allston · $$

    Whiskey-focused bar with solid American food, shuffleboard, arcade — low-key enough to actually talk, good enough to go back.

  10. 10

    Croke Park

    D Street / West Broadway · $

    Self-proclaimed dive bar with graffiti-lined walls offering domestic beer & pool games.

  11. 11

    The Independent

    Prospect Hill · $$

    Cozy neighborhood spot with orange wine, excellent fried chicken sandwich, and a snapdragon that hits like a French 75. Brick walls, card games, lingering crowds.

  12. 12

    The Avenue Bar Allston

    Commonwealth · $

    Allston institution, ten-year-run burgers and Guinness pours. Bartenders who actually know the beer list. Cheap, no-fuss, worth the repeat.
