    Stopped by Play Boston for a quick bite before a show. They have a cool arcade area for games but didn't check it out. Our server was super sweet and I enjoyed my salad. Probably one of the better salads I've had in a while!

    I went here only for this Chocolate sneak drink the advertised. After paying $65 to park because there was a Celtics game going on in the same spot! I was beyond disappointed they did not have it. The "Play" area is a joke, it's not Dave and Busters, the have literally 4 games and you buy tickets/tokens to play the games. Service is horrible, and the crowd demographic in there, not diverse, at all. Felt very out of place. Better places you can waste your Friday night. Don't recommend. It's a bar for all intensive purposes. It is in a great location.

    Stopped by play at BNL for dinner and drinks before some adult arcade games. They have a cool bar set up with a a variety of cocktails. The food menu offers a tavern/game day eats vibe. We got the blue burger and margherita pizza. The burger was really good and had great flavor. The pizza had a nice crispy and was thin. The arcade side is a bit smaller but it is enough to keep you entertained for a little while having drinks. The service and hospitality was friendly. I would def recommend.

There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food. What we got Kiki's marmalade buns Castle in the sky Milk Punch May All your bacon burn

    On our way to Boston, on the plane my fiance read an article about the trending speakeasies…read morenationwide at the moment. The Wig Shop was on the list... what a coincidence we were just going to be there. So, obviously, we made it a point to check it out. It was very last minute, so we had no reservations, but we checked opening hours and were there almost on the dot. Thankfully we were able to get in. The way they are setup is that if you are a party of 2, they sit you with another "couple" to maximize space. This is fun, it makes you have conversations with strangers that for the time you are there become "friends". Hopefully you have the same good experience we did and not have anti-social people in front of you. The drinks are fun and strong, and they have a full bar for those who want something more classic or have a drink of choice. They also have food, which looked really good.

I got the extra dirty martini, which was really smooth, and I thought the drinks were reasonably priced. Our server was nice, although there were a few awkward moments throughout the night. We ordered ice cream and a cookie, and he told us they were out of spoons -- and it wasn't even 10 PM yet Initially, I thought it was a joke, but he was not joking, so we ended up eating the ice cream with forks. The table setup was also a little awkward. Some of our friends were sitting across from us on the couch, and it was pretty difficult to hear and have a conversation with them.
