Flash’s Cocktails
With its old-fashioned neon sign shining bright across the Back Bay, Flash’s offers an awesome balance between retro and ‘right now.’ The menu includes classic cocktails known as ‘Flashbacks’ and contemporary concoctions, which they call ‘Flash Forward.’ Considering the fancy-pants drinks, it does an admirable job of preserving a neighborhood atmosphere. Good comfort food, but it’s not served on weekends.

Drink
There is no cocktail menu at Drink. Instead you have a little chat with the bartender, and he or she will whip something up according to your specifications. They take seriously the art of drink mixology – and you will too, after you sample one of their concoctions! The subterranean space creates a dark, sexy atmosphere, which makes for a great date destination.

Alchemist Lounge
The accomplished alchemists behind the bar do magically scientific things with alcohol, eg combining cognac, honey and soy milk to create the Honey Dove, or the Ginger Smash, with gin, apple liqueur, cranberries and ginger. There’s also a decent wine list, where everything comes by the glass, and live music almost every night. Now that’s gold.

Diva Lounge
For cocktails made from ginger infused rum or allspice vodka, check out this trendy bar with a decor crossing the ship from Space Odyssey and a Lego set. The walls and ceiling are entirely covered with large panels of formed white plastic bubbles against which pastel lights reflect. Decent DJs spin on weekends.

Enormous Room
Enter through the door marked with an elephant to find a harem-like room with people draped on cushions. The New York–inspired lounge was almost obnoxiously cool when it opened, though modish waitstaff seems oblivious to the fact that it has now jumped the shark (and thus nicely mellowed the crowd). Good olives.

Minibar
Everything about this place is small. Miniature portions, including bite-size Kobe burgers that get rave reviews. Splits of champagne and half-bottles of wine. Even pint-size bottles of your favorite top-shelf liquor. It’s a swank space with cushy couches, sexy people and good vibes. No pint-size prices, though.

28 Degrees
‘Over 40,883 Bellinis served, ’ boasts this super-slick bar on the edge of the South End. The cocktail of champagne, peaches and vodka is just one on the list of perfectly chilled treats, which change seasonally. The interior is a sweet spot to impress a date. Don’t leave without checking out the loo.

Alibi
There are actually two hot-to-trot drinking venues in the Liberty Hotel, both architecturally impressive and socially oh-so-trendy. Downstairs, Alibi is set in the former ‘drunk tank’ of the Charles St jail. The prison theme is played up, with mug shots hanging on the brick walls and iron bars on the doors and windows. Upstairs, Clink is the opposite, set under the soaring ceiling of the hotel’s lobby. Both places are absurdly popular, so you’d best come early if you care to sit down.
