Location: 500 Commonwealth Ave., Boston
Ambiance: Out with friends
Price: Spare change
We don’t know if it was the muted desert hues, the funky light fixtures, or the delightful bartender, but our hurried city attitudes quickly dissolved into a state of “relaxitude” once we settled into the bar.
The creative martini concoctions demand careful consideration - you may be inclined to order several. The Ghost of Mary is the bar’s most popular cocktail (second in popularity only to coffee) and is suited to the taste of a Bloody Mary lover. For those who prefer drinks with a little less bite, there is the decidedly summer-suited cucumber cosmopolitan and the equally sweet Ten Bloody Englishmen. Stop in Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. to sample some of the restaurant's finest dishes for $1.
