Hanging out in Boston, this place was recommended to us by a local and it turned out to be a great…read morestop. This place doubles as a dispensary on the main floor and a cool rooftop bar and lounge upstairs. Because of the dispensary aspect of it, you do have to go through security to gain access. You will have someone take you up in an elevator and once you're up top, the good vibes immediately hit. Why do they call it a rooftop bar and lounge you ask? Well, I would assume it's because when we came in November, it was cold outside, so the retractable roof was closed. This made it feel more loungey inside. I'm guessing when the weather is right, that roof is open and then it becomes a rooftop bar. It's pure speculation, but I think my theory is right. Like mentioned above, the vibes here were amazing. The ambience was nice. The low lights and neon lights made it a very sexy, but small space. The music was jamming 90's hip hop and R&B and everyone in there was enjoying it. The space is small, but that gives you the chance to meet some really cool people like we did. The drinks were on the spendy side, but made very well. I had their unique take on an old fashioned, and it was delicious. Overall, a great time was had here. I will definitely be back when in the area.

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!

I made a reservation for a table and was told to check in at the hostess stand. We were standing there for a while before someone finally came to seat us. There were also multiple groups that had been waiting. The food reminded me of frozen food. It came out room temperature and was not very good. The drinks were decent. Overall, everything was pricey for what it was.

First, hotel guests receive priority access, which is important because during peak hours it can be extremely difficult to get in. Second, there's something luxurious about enjoying a great night out and then simply taking the elevator back to your room. We arrived at 10:30 PM on an incredibly busy Saturday night, and despite the crowds, the staff handled our reservation, made well in advance, with professionalism and care. The DJ was fantastic and set the tone for a fun evening from the moment we arrived. This is definitely a place built for cocktails and late-night energy. The drinks were well crafted, the atmosphere was electric, and our server did a great job taking care of our table throughout the evening. If you're looking for a sophisticated speakeasy experience, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a lively, high-energy night with great cocktails and a fun crowd... Blind Duck delivers.

The Irving is one of my go-to spots for after-work drinks. The vibe is perfect for unwinding, and…read moreit's a place I find myself coming back to often. If I make it in time before the late-night menu starts, I have to order the foie gras -- it's my favorite item on the menu and it's SO good. Rich, perfectly prepared, and always hits the spot. When I come later and the late-night menu is on, I go straight for the cheeseburger. Simple, classic, and exactly what you want with a drink. Service can be a little slow at times, so I've learned to either order right away or grab a seat at the bar, which makes the experience much smoother. Overall, definitely a staple for me -- great for drinks, great bites, and a solid after-work hang

Totally worth the hype!…read more Came here for drinks with friends and was blown away with the creativity of the cocktails and the warmth of the staff. This place is tiny and you need to fight for your life for a reservation but it makes sense why it's so popular. The drinks are spectacular and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and will guide you through the whole experience. Will definitely be returning!

We had a wonderful visit to Farmacia for the Korean chapter…read more The cocktails were masterfully formulated and Susie was such a delight throughout the evening, being able to chat while also preparing the drinks. The other couples during the seating were lovely as well. Things I loved: *pay in advance--you pay when you make the reservation so you can just leave at the end *the cocktails--among the best you can find in boston. You can taste the care that goes into the menu preparation. *the service--we had such a nice evening that flew by Things of note: *the seating goes by pretty fast--for the volume of alcohol (3.5 drinks), the 90ish minute seating is too short. We ended up having to drink faster than we wanted to *the bar snacks--while tasty, they were teeny tiny. See my photo of the banchan--meant to be shared among two people. I was anticipating slightly more volumous snacks All in all, I totally recommend this experience and would definitely go back

Would definitely come back for the atmosphere and drinks!

A lot of young people and groups of people, company parties, etc. Classy joint.

We got appetizers to share and they were all delicious. We got the beet hummus, Vietnamese chicken tenders, and cauliflower. They were all well-prepared, flavorful, and a decent portion size for the 4 of us to share. Given the gorgeous ambiance of the place (which I thought might be their main draw), I was pleasantly surprised at how good their food was. This wasn't the best value place, but prices weren't egregious compared to similar spots. I would come back again to try more of their food options, but wouldn't choose their oyster deal over other options!

They do have an option to go an hour before the show to have brunch from the buffet which isn't bad for a buffet brunch. Only slightly better than most hotel buffet breakfasts. But it is convenient to be seated where you will be for the show and have your brunch before the show starts The show is fun and you may be picked to interact with some performers (especially if you are me who always gets selected at any show like this). Your best option is to go along and have fun. This makes it a better experience for you, those with you and everyone attending ;) Fun dancing, music and shows and even though I'm not reviewing the food options I do have to mention that they bring you water as soon as you sit and that is always one of the first things I look for at restaurants.

Also it was closed (full of people) one morning for a private party, thus elimanating a positive perk of staying in nice hotels -- the ability to have a coffee / business meeting in the lobby with a colleague. Amazingly, even while closed it was pretty full on a Sunday night (confusing) because people went to the open bar and carried drinks over until it closed.
