Perfect for the instagram obsessed, you really can't beat the décor and vibes. Go early if you want a seat at the marble bar.
Yvonne's | New American Restaurant & Supper Club in Boston, MA
Basement spot for funky wines hidden inside of Faccia a Faccia.

Downstairs is where the music is but the upstairs bar is just as fun. Go around 6:30-7 on weekends if you want a basement bar spot and hang around til the music starts. Also a fun place to end a night, fun until ~1.
the beehive
Solid, good backup plan in the south end if you're winging a night without a res
Five Horses Tavern - South End
Dinner
Food is top notch, Bogie's place is cool, period. Excellent bartenders.
jm Curley / Bogie's Place
Funky Italian spot with loads of bar seating, graffiti walls, and thin crust pizzas.
Viale
Not your stuffy red sauce Italian spot - fresh, hip menu in a vibrant space
Sulmona
Great place to bring a foodie who thinks they've tried it all - Japanese and Spanish small plates
Pagu
Jazz, sushi, strong cocktails… it doesn't get much better than that. Make a res in advance for the jazz room
The Mad Monkfish
It's niche, it's small, it cranks out Italian classics better than the North End, it's exactly the place you want to be on a snowy Boston night.
Grotto
This place slaps for a host of reasons - wood fired pizzas & ever rotating menu of small plates, great cocktail list, beer garden in the back, and being in Brookline, just a bit easier to get a reservation on a weekend than the Boston neighbors.
