City guide
No menu. You tell the bartender what you're in the mood for and they build something. It sounds like a gimmick until you try it. Barbara Lynch's bar in Fort Point has been the pinnacle of Boston cocktail culture for 15 years. The dark, candlelit space matches the serious approach.
Bars are chosen from public information: the bar's own menus and listings, press coverage and reader reviews. Hours, prices and door policies change, so confirm them with the bar before you go. Read our full methodology and editorial standards, or meet the editors behind the reviews.
