Drink

Drink is a craft cocktail bar at 348 Congress Street in the Fort Point district of Boston, Massachusetts, a former warehouse area known for converted brick-and-timber buildings and a large artist and tech community. The bar is best known for dispensing with a conventional cocktail menu: guests describe the spirits, flavors and moods they like, and the bartenders build a drink around that conversation, which is why the specialty is listed as bartender's-choice cocktails. The room has a long bar, a low-lit industrial feel and a standing area that lets staff work in view of guests. The crowd is adult and cocktail-focused, made up of locals from the Seaport and Fort Point, professionals after work, couples on dates and visiting enthusiasts. Dress is smart casual; sportswear and large groups are generally not the target audience. Music is kept low in the background so that conversation with the bartender is possible. The drinks programme covers classic cocktails, house variations and bespoke creations, with a deep spirits selection, plus some beer and wine. Prices fall in the upper tier, with cocktails commonly in the mid-to-high teens in dollars per drink. Posted hours run approximately daily from 4pm to 1am, with the busiest period from about 8pm to midnight on Thursday through Saturday. There is no cover charge. Reservations are limited, and walk-in service is the norm, so groups often wait or choose early-evening visits. Bottle service is not part of the model. First-time guests benefit from knowing what spirits they prefer and how sweet, sour or bitter they like a drink, since the experience relies on a dialogue with staff. The location is a short walk from South Station and the Boston Children's Museum area.
