Drink

Drink bartenders John Gertner and Misty Kalkofen are two of Boston's biggest rock stars behind the bar.  Actually, bar professors might be a better title. Equipped with a truly encyclopedic (and kind of nerdy) knowledge of cocktail history, they make Drink the apex of the resurgent classic cocktail fetish. The concept here is catchy too. With no drink menus and no bottles on display, you pick a base spirit and basic cocktail character and let the pros go to work. At a flat rate, the drinks seem like a steal, but in keeping with the retro feel, the pours are short (aka the way they're actually supposed to be made). They spend so much time mixing that service can be slow, but you might get a history lesson while you're waiting.
