The speakeasy feel and classy drinks make for a great atmosphere. The bar food is tasty and you can actually carry on a conversation. The fact that cell phone don't work inside adds to the experience.

Laura

I don't usually opt for whiskey , but Saloon is a place where I do because the drinks are so tasty. Bartenders will also make something off menu if asked! Be warned: almost always crowded .

Jamie Lin

Literally any cocktail is amazing. My most recent try was the Corpse Reviver , and while the cheese plate is solid if you wanna spoil yourself definitely try their Poutine !

Stephen Barnes

The entry is nondescript and hidden, so look hard when coming here. Try a cocktail from the drink list, you won't be disappointed.

Carrie Bevis

Inconspicuously situated between Found and the Burren, this speakeasy styled bar serves up fantastic spirits and vintage cocktails !

Kelsey Snyder

Collin is my favourite bartender . He liked my smile and he was just 100% friendly and professional. Ask for him- and tell him a Girl with a nice smile off to London recommended him.

Sidd Tastic

The Oaxcan Old Fashioned is wicked awesome. But don't get it as the first drink unless that's the only drink you intend to savor.

Patricia

Good place for a date if you both like fancy cocktails , but go before weekend evening prime time to ensure seats & to avoid shouting.

Lily K

Come for the craft cocktails , stay for the atmosphere. Or is it the other way around?

Rebecca Aponte

Very knowledgable staff with a laid back cool environment. For something like and refreshing try The Green Thumb.

Mike Callahan

Saloon is know for it's whiskey selection , but I was also pleasantly surprised by a good beer selection and great atmosphere.

Thrillist

Stuff your face with beer-battered pickled peppers packed w/ Boursin and 16 beer taps. There, your night is planned. You can thank us later. Read more

Rachel Powers

A big fan of the speakeasy vibes. Haven't had much in the way of food, but you're always sure to get a great cocktail .

Jake Smith

Try the "Ward 44," a delicious blend of grenadine and pork belly whiskey . The mixture of savory pork and sweet cherry flavors is equivalent to a party in your mouth.

Owen Williams

Ramona is queen of Bourbon and will hook you up with a flight, often including off-menu selections. My nominee for best bartender in Boston.

Sofia Uz

Cool underground spot, great staff and decor, extensive drink list. Obviously!

Shannon Vossler

The KY Bourbon Barrel Ale is amazing and they have Jameson AND Caol Isla! Staff also is super-knowledgeable on all their whiskeys .

Vambah Sillah

Great selection of whiskeys tat you can't find elsewhere (ever heard of Slieve Foy single malt ? I hadn't either!).

Boston.com

Bringing a splash of 1920s glamour to pub-filled Davis Square, Saloon’s bartenders wear suspenders and ties, while waitresses sport jazzy cocktail dresses .

Brian Manning

Fancy cocktails and a decent beer list . What else could you want?

Jacob Mulligan

Walk slowly, it's easy to miss the entrance. Cool vibe, massive whiskey menu.

Rachel O'h-Uiginn Estapa

Great for night-caps & trying new cocktails , but skip the food -- not as yummy as you'd want it to be

Dan Fogarty

Good booze. The bartenders are fancier than the crowd. Three tophats out of five ????????????.

Connor Ferguson

Lots of excellent cocktails — try anything and you'll be pleased. Desserts are good and not too large, too.

Gianna Nebbia

Cool place underground "speakeasy " with lively atmosphere

Shannon Sweetser

The Ploughman's Platter is a great choice to pair when you just want a few little bites between a friend while imbibing.

Cecilia Gutierrez

Get the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale for a delicious beer that packs a punch.

Jaycob Burns

Really cool speakeasy look. Good cocktails - I liked the cardinal especially

Steph Katrina

Speakeasy style bar . The food selections are amazing

Kavita Arumugam

Devils on horseback is a must -try! The whisky selection is great! Awesome staff !

Bradley Hastings

Say pickled fried peppers three times fast and place an order.

p barua

Staff is ridiculous. Went here on a busy Friday night, 15 min to order...bartender forgets about our order...10 mins later we ask about our drinks and guy doesn’t even apologize! Don’t waste ur time

What a great place. Blues playing. Bartenders with suspenders & ties. Extensive bourbon list . Wonderful.

Karin

This place is for the whiskey lover - peruse the extensive list of bourbon , scotch and rye and order a manhattan .

Amadou Crookes

Mojito . Get the mojito !

Shannon Sweetser

Though it's not Whiskey , the Brown Derby cocktail is brilliantly made. Great for first-timers.

Eric Andersen

Underground, so your signal may be weak. But there's free WiFi ! Password is "Foundry255"

Pietro Di Legno

One of our favorite bar/restaurants, set up like a 1920s speakeasy /Rachel

Ricky Sherrill

They have a nice selection of "Top Shelf ' bourbon .

Shannon Sweetser

The Revolver: a non-pretentious & great cocktail that will pop a cap into you palette.

Benjamin Doyle

Pork Shank was delicious and very tender

Mark Viana

If you're in the mood for cider , try the Downeast cider .

Alex Dobyan

The flask of house punch is definitely the best deal on the menu.

Martin Clinton

The fish and chips is fried perfection - big pieces of haddock and served in a paper bag.

Christina Xu

Everyone gets no cell reception down here, so expect an uncharacteristically uninterrupted meal!
