Massachusetts Cocktail Bar Named Best in America by Esquire

Going to a fantastic Massachusetts cocktail bar is a trend that will never go away. The best bars in America have an inviting feeling, and whether they're upscale or totally downhome, you just want to go there and chill. If you travel around America, you'll find a ton of awesome, locally-owned bars with their own native flavor. Now, the experts at Esquire magazine have researched bars throughout the U.S. to determine the best bars in America. If you're looking to get your drink on, one trendy New England cocktail bar made this special list.

Esquire magazine has scoured the country to find the best bars in America. They're also celebrating bar culture along the way. "Bars have always been that third place, the spot where you hang outside work and home," they explain. "But as we've discovered crisscrossing the country over the past twelve months to visit the new bars, they're doing that in more nuanced and varied ways than they have in a long time." As for bar trends, they note that a lot of bars are pretty complex these days. For example, plenty of bars have a nightclub component, so you can decide to chill in the bar portion of the venue or go to the hot, dance-filled area. Whether you're at a top-notch nightclub-type bar or a hole-in-the-wall place, Esquire has made sure to pick bars that make their clients and customers feel welcome. Because, really, going to a bar isn't just about the drinking. Having a night at the bar is about talking to people, making new friends and having a good time with the local community. I enjoy going to the bar for the social aspect. I enjoy seeing friends and making new ones in that kind of fun environment.

So, which Massachusetts cocktail bar made the cut for the best bars in America according to the experts at Esquire? It's the very cool Equal Measure in Boston. When you walk into this bar, you're greeted by a portrait of Stanley Tucci shaking a Negroni, which Esquire notes is a "nod to the name of the joint: The Negroni is the most famous equal-parts drink, but tried-and-true cocktail folks know that you certainly don't shake it." I love how this bar really specializes in all kind of cocktails, and I hear the martini is amazing. I'm thrilled to see this newer Massachusetts cocktail bar get some national love from the experts at Esquire magazine.
