This Underground Restaurant In Boston Is Like No Other Place You’ve Ever Eaten
When you first approach the building that houses this subterranean restaurant, it’s easy to mistake it for any other South End apartment complex. Only a brass sign adhered to the brick wall and the presence of a doorman hint that there is more to this place than meets the eye. You’d never guess that, concealed inside, is one of the coolest eateries in Boston.
Wink & Nod draws inspiration from the 1920s, specifically the speakeasy.
Indulge in a Heat Miser, which combines Vida Mezcal (an organic, hand-crafted, twice distilled liquor) with sweet orgeat syrup, balanced by mole bitters and seared Padron pepper.
The Heat Miser is one of the seasonal cocktails - there are only three permanent drinks on the menu.
This includes the $15 Thank God It's Islay featuring chocolate notes and a drink for $100 called the Billionaire Bijou! The latter uses Nolet's Reserve gin, which gains its high value through the abundant use of saffron.
Like your cocktails fun and funky? Then stop by for Tiki Time on Mondays.
The culinary incubator program at Wink & Nod sets it apart from other restaurants. This means that rising chefs take over the kitchen for a six-month tenure before moving on.
Wink & Nod proves that, when it comes to restaurants, windows are an overrated amenity! This underground space offers all the style and sophistication you could wish for.
Head to 3 Appleton Street in Boston to see for yourself or learn more about Wink & Nod here. (Reservations recommended.)
