Boston’s Hidden Cocktail Experience

Boston's hidden-bar scene is best enjoyed with a little less wandering and a little more guidance. This ticketed cocktail experience takes guests through some of the city's tucked-away drinking spots, turning the search for a good bar into the point of the night. That makes it a useful choice for anyone who knows the usual downtown circuit but still hasn't cracked the code on Boston's speakeasy-style rooms. The city has plenty of these deliberately obscure bars, from tiny cocktail counters to places concealed behind unmarked doors, so the appeal here is getting a curated introduction rather than spending half the evening guessing which entrance is actually the entrance. Just don't come expecting a historical tour with a cocktail thrown in. The focus is the drinks and the hidden-bar format, which makes this better suited to curious drinkers than anyone looking for a conventional bar crawl.
