Dos Diablos Taco Bar
50 Gainsborough St., Fenway
Stop by Dos Diablos Taco Bar for drinks and tacos in an eclectic space just down the street from Northeastern University.
Virtually all of the cocktails are agave based, from the tequila, citrus and absinthe that constitute the No. 5, to the Bandito, made with mezcal and aperol. Tacos and ceviche are also available, and beer and wine to wash it all down.
Dos Diablos Taco Bar currently holds five stars from the one review so far on Yelp.
Yelper Patrick O., who reviewed the bar on June 9, wrote, "Tacos? Check. Tequila? Check. Sexy atmosphere? Check. I would choose this over any other place in the area every day!"
Dos Diablos Taco Bar is open from 4 p.m.–2 a.m. daily. Kitchen is open until midnight.
Burro Bar South End
1357 Washington St., South End
Burro Bar South End, with another location in Brookline, offers tequila-focused cocktails, with more than 100 tequilas available. It's the smaller sibling of The Painted Burro in Somerville, per the bar's website.
Beer, margaritas and several fruity concoctions are also on hand.
Hungry? There are tacos with chorizo, blackened mahi-mahi and more, plus lobster enchiladas, charred octopus and Mexican street corn.
Burro Bar South End's current Yelp rating of four stars out of 16 reviews indicates the newcomer is finding its way.
Yelper Bill C. wrote, "Margaritas are excellent. They don't use that sugary pre-made mix, plus you can choose from dozens of good tequilas, including a bunch of reposadas and anejos. Good stuff. "
Frank S. noted, "I felt that the atmosphere and ambiance were very enjoyable, the restaurant was busy but not too loud, and the service and drinks were both great."
Burro Bar South End is open from 5–11 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m.–11 p.m. on weekends.
The Ghost Walks
57 Stuart St., Theater District
New cocktail bar The Ghost Walks features drinks like the bourbon-based Box Office, which comes in a movie theater-style popcorn box, and the Paparazzi (tequila and tropical flavors) served in the body of a camera lens.
In a nod to the surrounding neighborhood, the bar's name is a reference to the opening scene of Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Food is also served, with offerings that range from gnocchi and cheese plates to a burger made with Kobe beef and smoked tomato jam. (Check out the menu here.)
With a four-star rating out of 20 reviews on Yelp so far, the new cocktail bar has gotten a good response.
Sam B. wrote, "Great place, fun creative cocktails! We got the Hobo, a mini Absolut bottle in a brown paper bag, and the Box Office bourbon drink in a plastic cover cup under the popcorn! Be ready to spend $15-17 per drink."
Yelper Jerry G. added, “Chill spot good music. Bartenders know what they're actually doing as well. It is right next to Bijou Nightclub so it's the best of both worlds."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: The Ghost Walks is open from 5 p.m.–1 a.m. daily.
