After checking out the famed Feneuil Hall and Quincy Market, my husband was ready to go on a sightseeing strike if I wouldn't have gotten him a beer! The Sam Adams tap room was there, but too crowded and popular. We love indie places so we went back to Distraction & Democracy and it was the wisest decision! The space is big, wide, the ladies working the counter are super helpful and friendly, we tried their Amber Ale, it was great, so we ordered a couple of cold ones. Lots of cool seating options, we got some in the shade at a table facing Faneuil Hall. Hard to beat that view! The beer was amazing, the place relaxing, some friendly folks around chilling, taking a break in action like us! They have clean portable toilets with water sinks and soap. Lots of them! Great experience! Enjoyed our well deserved beer break here! Fun and relaxing, cherished a cold one surrounded by the city's history! Cheers!

When you come in, its a smoke shop, but when you head up the elevator, you're let out into this cool little vibe of a place, that makes you feel like you're in a speakeasy! The vibes were vibin, the lights were down low, they music was full blown 90s rnb and hip hop, and just let me tell you, the staff was legit! They just knew what to do, and did the thang! All the drinks we tried were absolutely delicious, I don't even know what I had, I just said make something great and they did! The bartenders were great with checking in on everyone. The doorman and another guy who was in and out of the bar were great with checking in on everyone, making you smile, and the overall atmosphere was great! We of course, talked to everyone, and made friends while we were there. Great way to start off our New England tour!

We learned they don't have food here but that was okay. I was feeling adventurous so I decided to order the surprise drink made for you by the bartender. She asked me what type of alcohol I liked, and what sort of drink I wanted. I mentioned soemthing sweet with a tequila. She ended up making me this peach drink with milagro silver tequila. I asked her to name it and she landed on "peach spritz". It was really good my boyfriend even kept taking sips. Drinks were a little pricey but you're also paying for the rooftop. The view isn't anything crazy as it's only 7 floors up, but the fact that it's so peaceful and private makes it worth it. I really enjoyed my experience here and would come back.

We then proceeded to order drinks and sit at a table in the very empty bar. We were approached many times for a new drink which was nice at first but pushy after a bit. We were then told if we weren't going to order another drink we would need to stand at the bar. We were quickly ushered from our table, and our table was not filled after we left. Shocking experience at such a place that is advertised as being such an upscale bar. Hoping to be contacted by manager soon.

I went on a Wednesday…read moreevening without a reservation and had no problem getting seated right away for a table of two, which was a great start. The wine selection is excellent and thoughtfully curated -- whites, reds, bubbles, orange wines, and more, so there's truly something for every palate. My friend and I both ordered a red, and it was absolutely perfect. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and she even offered a few samples so we could try before committing to a full glass, which we really appreciated. For food, we shared the hot dog with fried oysters to pair with the wine, and it was surprisingly delicious and a fun, elevated bar bite. Overall, the experience was fantastic -- great wine, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Pricing is definitely on the higher end, with wine glasses around $20 and the hot dog at $14, but the quality and experience justify it. I'd absolutely come back for another wine night.

Unfortunately, this most recent visit didn't live up to the high standards I've come to expect. While a few dishes hit the mark, the majority of our order was a letdown: Tinned Octopus: Surprisingly chewy and lacked seasoning. Mushroom Toast: The texture was rubbery, and the flavor was completely drowned out by an aggressive amount of balsamic. Beets: Had a very overwhelming cumin flavor that threw the dish out of balance. Roast Beef Slider: Served cold and felt a bit uninspired. It's such a cute, intimate space, and I've had so many wonderful nights here in the past, but the execution was just off this time around. I'm hoping it was just an off night, but it was definitely disappointing given how much I usually love this place!

Not a fan of string lights in a place where cocktails average $18-$20 but that's just me. My Permission to be Candid was good, but not so good I'd order it again. My partner's Switchblade (subbed out gin with vodka since I'm allergic to Juniper) was also good, but I expected it taste more "green" with the cryo watermelon and absinthe in it. The candy cigarettes we were given after paying the tab were a cute touch. We had fun trying to blow smoke. Overall it's a nice spot to grab a drink. The menu (online only) is not very user friendly - this is coming from a retired UI/UX and web designer. Having to click back and forth to get to each category of drinks is crazy. Especially when the drinks are very unique and have a list of ingredients. A nice coated paper version (like large playing cards?) would be much appreciated.
