Care For a Cocktail? Spotlight on Boston’s South End

As the weather starts to cool down, why not warm up a bit?  Boston’s South End has many great destinations for grabbing a cocktail after work or before a show, not to mention that it’s one of Boston’s best neighborhoods to enjoy a walk through New England’s Fall foliage in an urban but quaint setting.  Here’s a list of some great places in Boston’s South End where you can enjoy a great atmosphere with a great cocktail:

Boston Cocktail LoungeThe Gallows
1395 Washington Street

The Gallows is a great place to meet friends or work colleagues for almost any occasion.  The cocktail list is amazing and clearly concocted by a master mixologist.  The cocktail menu is great, but also try asking the knowledgeable staff for their recommendations.  There are many specialty cocktails that the bartenders will make that are not on teh menu.  The Gallows is also a great place for dinner, but for those who just want an appetizer with cocktails, try the poutine.  Trust me, it’s delicious.

The Beehive
541 Tremont Street

The Beehive seems to satisfy any crowd.  Their menu includes clever cocktails with a special section for champagne cocktails, as well as a non-traditional list of bottled beers and beers on tap and a decent wine list.  Live music in an intimate setting on most nights draws many customers.

Fritz Bar
26 Chandler at Berkley street

If you are leaning a bit more towards a classic Boston Bar setting, or you would like a place in the South End where you can catch a game in a sports-bar setting, Fritz Bar is the place for you.  Generally populated by a fun crowd of young professionals, Fritz Bar is never a bad call.

Toro
1704 Washington Street

Toro is a fun, posh, modern take on a classic Barcelona-style tapas restaurant.  This means lots of small plates, a social atmosphere, and a great all-Spanish wine list.  Toro has a great drinks menu featuring Spanish and classic inspired cocktails alongside everything you would expect at a nicer cocktail lounge, including an above average sherry menu.  Toro is a great location to bring a group of friends for drinks, but it’s a small venue, and serves on a first come first serve basis.

Stella
1525 Washington Street

Stella is a great place to have dinner or drinks, or both!  This place attract a really fun and eclectic crowd that adds to the classic South End atmosphere.  For those less fond of colorful cocktails, Stella’s wine list can satisfy the snootiest connoisseur.  Stella also features certain appetizers for only $5 from 4-6 pm  Monday through Friday as well as a special pre-theater dinner for the area’s showgoers.
