Drinks & Nightlife
Excellent, hidden cocktail place in an alley surrounded by restaurants. It's very tiny with a line on weekends but it’s probably the best cocktail you’ve ever had.

A little bit of everything across the street on Somerville Ave - coffee, wine, brewery, pizza, stores and pinball machines! The wine bar is a favorite

Fun irish bar with live music (mostly classic rock but depends on the night) and a decent pint. I don’t usually eat there but it’s worth a stop in if the band sounds good. Mixed crowd - old, young folks having fun

Remember bars that just had live music and it could be a new DJ or a small band trying to get noticed? Most of those places are gone but it still lives in here. Visit and take a chance on a new act. Has super friendly bartenders and worth the small cover after dinner at a number of places in Sanborn court.
