Joshua HaftelJanuary 15, 2015Loved the atmosphere, it was great to sit back and be surprised. The first drink was excellent. I did find it a bit hard to convey exactly what I wanted, a few drinks missed, was fun regardless.
Spencer SchoebenSeptember 6, 2015I really like this place. trendy af. no cocktail menu. they make things tailored to your mood and tastes
This place has no menu and is a great place for a date. Attentive service, not overly crowded by design, very modern. Get the fried quail and the cheese plate and drink some expertly crafted cocktails
Cole KennedyDecember 28, 2016It's the best cocktail bar in Boston without breaking a sweat. And you shouldn't either, when you notice there's no menu. Tell 'em what you like and they'll make you happy.
Justin P.July 7, 2019After a short wait in the entryway hall, we were lead to a standing area in the bar. The head mixologist asked our flavor profiles, and made unique drinks based off our requests. Excellent spot!
IrinaJune 21, 2016Speak-easy modern bar with minimalist design and no-drink menu - the mixologist prepares it according to your taste - I got an amazing cocktail with bourbon, honey and grapefruit - delicious! 😋
Dennis HansenJuly 12, 2016The cocktails are very good and it's fun to have the conversation with the bartender about the drink since there's no drink card. Get the Mezze Plate too!- AnnaOctober 12, 2015Drink has an interior of a reclaimed factory, I enjoyed the way the place is peaking into the street from a lower level through the windows. They serve good classic cocktails. Only complaint: TOO LOUD
Nandi AndersonJune 26, 2015Best bar in boston! There is no drink menu...you just tell the bartender what you like (i.e. Sweet with a kick, or whiskey but light) and they engineer the best drink of your life. Try the popcorn.
Cally WattsMarch 8, 2014Get there right when it opens. It gets crowded fast! For me, anything with champagne and citrus is a must. And you can't go wrong with the French fries!
Bre MillerApril 8, 2014Drink is amazing. You can just go in and kind of describe what you’re in the mood for, and they’ll make a crazy delicious cocktail for you. Recommend this before or after a dinner at Sportello.
Jessica FerronJanuary 3, 2015The bartenders make or break the experience, so work your way to getting seated at the bar. The Naked & Famous is the best cocktail they've suggested for me.
Don't be timid; everyone here is happy to make you a drink you'll love. Think of a spirit (rum, gin, etc) and a flavor (sweet, bitter, resfreshing, fruity) and they'll take it from there. Exceptional.
Meg FarmerMay 19, 2015Very trendy, dark, and full of beautiful people. Service is outstanding, drinks are tasty and strong. Ordered the ceviche and it was out of this world delicious. A must-do in Boston.
Don't know what you want? You're in good hands here. The staff will be able to suggest and make a drink you'll be sure to love based on what you like in terms of flavors and aromas.
Carmen SutterOctober 15, 2014Fantastic craft cocktail bar in a cool setting. No cocktail menu, just trust your bartender. One of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had
Chelsea NofsingerMay 24, 2018Excellent service! Beautiful and simple design. Delicious drinks. Saw a girl drinking champagne from the bottle with a straw, so that's neat.
المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيالJune 14, 2017Lovely cocktails. Just ask what you would like to have and they will make it happen. Nice setting too 👌🏻
John TylerDecember 10, 2012Ive visited cocktail bars in the west, midwest & in Europe. Drink holds their own. Dont be shy, strike a conversation with your bartender. A lot to learn, a lot to taste & they do a really good job
P.Diddy DiddyJuly 13, 2013Bartenders here are knowledgeable and skilled at making the perfect drink down to the perfect ice cube. Our bartender Palmer remembered our names and drinks the second time I came for a visit!
Nick BaumAugust 13, 2012This is hands down the best cocktail bar I've ever been to. Go on a quieter night (say Sunday or Monday), and don't order a specific drink - let them choose something for you based on your mood.
Will FlemingAugust 27, 2014Great cocktail bar, though it's less fun now that you often have to wait on a line to get in. The Dark & Stormy is fantastic, thanks to the house-made ginger beer.
Alex HerediaJuly 26, 2014You tell them what you like, they make it for you! Great atmosphere, friendly and the bartenders are very knowledgable. A must!
Connor FergusonOctober 12, 2013I challenge you to find a better cocktail bar in all of Boston. For gin martini lovers, try a Means of Preservation. If bourbon is your game, a Fancy Free is a subtle twist on an Old Fashioned.
Rebecca YiSeptember 23, 2016Place gets packed so get here early. Super cool concept - just tell the bartender what you're in the mood for! Look for the entrance for sportello and go downstairs.
Nicki KattoufApril 2, 2014perfectly executed drinks. tip: there aren't drink menus, so if you don't know what to order, tell your bartender some of your favorites and they will concoct a delish beverage.
Michael TousignantAugust 24, 2013Top cocktail bar in Boston. The wait to enter is long, which speaks to the popularity of Drink. They do a great job creating a cocktail within the criteria you give them.
John DuarteAugust 27, 2017Bartenders ask you a spirit and flavor profile you enjoy and make a drink for you. Very cool and enjoyable.
Nour HaddadFebruary 27, 2016Cucumber-minty cocktails are excellent. Would recommend getting there <7pm to avoid waiting in line for hours
Minnie KimOctober 21, 2014A must-try bar! A great place for date night or just a casual get together. All of the drinks made for us were spectacular! Definitely coming back again
John BoothJuly 30, 2016Great, low key cocktail bar, worth the wait to get inside. Just tell the mixologist your preferences and they'll whip you up something tasty.
Rue La LaSeptember 5, 2012The place to go for cocktails you don't have to think about. Just sidle up to the bar and tell the mixologists what you're feeling like; they'll treat you to your new favorite drink.
Cynan ClucasSeptember 17, 2014I'm a discerning cocktail lover & this bar has great bar staff who make GREAT drinks. But the clientele is loud, pretentious, and here to be seen spending money not appreciating the on-point drinks.
Eric VenkerMay 13, 2014Tiki Sundays the 2nd Sunday of every month with Tiki drinks and Tiki inspired menu items. Also on New York Times 36 hours in Boston list.
Hal MackinsFebruary 8, 2016The reviews don't lie: Drink is tops for cocktails in Boston. The food is really good as well, especially the thick-cut fries.- Come early to snag one of the few burgers. Ask for it cut in half, the thing is massive!
Gulay M.September 12, 2015The place is very cosy. The atmosphere, people, music just make you feel as good as it gets. Liked the place. Will definitely come back.
Smashing DrinksApril 25, 2012This is a great place to let the bartender do the picking. Saddle up to the bar and tell them what you like. They are sure to make you something delicious... Enjoy!
Just trust your bartender - they'll always take good care of you and make you something amazing.
CITY GRITAugust 16, 2014Start with your perfect drink! We went with a Manhattan. Don’t miss the Tarte Flambee, or the Swordfish Pastrami!

Sabina B.September 9, 2014Best cocktails in Bahston. Come early as it gets busy fast. Request to be seated in Ezra's section and ask her to make you a Sorority Girl.
Nicholas TinsleyJune 24, 2018Great cocktails: you won't be disappointed. Be warned: very busy and a little pricey.
harryhDecember 6, 2010A truly excellent bar. Wandered in after an afternoon at the ICA and spent the next 2 hours noshing and enjoying some really great made to order cocktails.
