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.
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 .
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 !
The entry is nondescript and hidden, so look hard when coming here. Try a cocktail from the drink list, you won't be disappointed.
Inconspicuously situated between Found and the Burren, this speakeasy styled bar serves up fantastic spirits and vintage cocktails !
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.
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.
Good place for a date if you both like fancy cocktails , but go before weekend evening prime time to ensure seats & to avoid shouting.
Come for the craft cocktails , stay for the atmosphere. Or is it the other way around?
Very knowledgable staff with a laid back cool environment. For something like and refreshing try The Green Thumb.
Saloon is know for it's whiskey selection , but I was also pleasantly surprised by a good beer selection and great atmosphere.
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
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 .
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.
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.
Cool underground spot, great staff and decor, extensive drink list. Obviously!
The KY Bourbon Barrel Ale is amazing and they have Jameson AND Caol Isla! Staff also is super-knowledgeable on all their whiskeys .
Great selection of whiskeys tat you can't find elsewhere (ever heard of Slieve Foy single malt ? I hadn't either!).
Bringing a splash of 1920s glamour to pub-filled Davis Square, Saloon’s bartenders wear suspenders and ties, while waitresses sport jazzy cocktail dresses .
Fancy cocktails and a decent beer list . What else could you want?
Walk slowly, it's easy to miss the entrance. Cool vibe, massive whiskey menu.
Great for night-caps & trying new cocktails , but skip the food -- not as yummy as you'd want it to be
Good booze. The bartenders are fancier than the crowd. Three tophats out of five ????????????.
Lots of excellent cocktails — try anything and you'll be pleased. Desserts are good and not too large, too.
Cool place underground "speakeasy " with lively atmosphere

Good place for good strong drink . Try the preakness! The bartenders are awesome too! tip then well !
The Ploughman's Platter is a great choice to pair when you just want a few little bites between a friend while imbibing.
Get the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale for a delicious beer that packs a punch.
Really cool speakeasy look. Good cocktails - I liked the cardinal especially
Speakeasy style bar . The food selections are amazing
Devils on horseback is a must -try! The whisky selection is great! Awesome staff !
Say pickled fried peppers three times fast and place an order.
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
Great great cocktails , the waitress was very knowledge about the drinks and the vibe was amaizing
The brand and brush is great and the vibe is awesome
Come here to listen to live music by Sarah. She rocks!!
What a great place. Blues playing. Bartenders with suspenders & ties. Extensive bourbon list . Wonderful.
This place is for the whiskey lover - peruse the extensive list of bourbon , scotch and rye and order a manhattan .
Mojito . Get the mojito !
Though it's not Whiskey , the Brown Derby cocktail is brilliantly made. Great for first-timers.
Underground, so your signal may be weak. But there's free WiFi ! Password is "Foundry255"
One of our favorite bar/restaurants, set up like a 1920s speakeasy /Rachel
They have a nice selection of "Top Shelf ' bourbon .
The Revolver: a non-pretentious & great cocktail that will pop a cap into you palette.
Pork Shank was delicious and very tender
If you're in the mood for cider , try the Downeast cider .
The flask of house punch is definitely the best deal on the menu.
The fish and chips is fried perfection - big pieces of haddock and served in a paper bag.
Everyone gets no cell reception down here, so expect an uncharacteristically uninterrupted meal!
Awesome cocktails! Menu changes regularly. Get a bunch of cocktails between friends and do a tasting! - Sofia Papastamelos

Great new menu. Try the mussels and fries with a pint of your choice. - Patrick Richardson
Great Thursday night spot. Live music. Great bartenders. Outdoor seating for dinner - Steph Katrina
One of the best brunch menus in the area. Try the bourbon Bloody Mary! - Brendan O'Leary
