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.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

That's the origin of the establishment's name and, once you descend underground, the décor reflects the atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties.
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.
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.
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.)
