A new tiki bar and cocktail bar has opened for business in the neighborhood. The fresh addition to the South End, called Shore Leave, is located at 11 William E. Mullins Way.
On the menu, look for shareable salads and appetizers. Diners can choose the scallion pancake that comes with traditional sauce, king crab dip, miso, mayo and mentaiko, or opt for the karaage chicken wings doused with black sesame, lime and Sichuan chili oil.
There's also an extensive cocktail menu, with offerings that include the namesake Shore Leave cocktail, which includes white and Jamaican rums, passionfruit and madeira. (Take a look at the full menus here.)
