Very cool neighborhood spot. My type of spot. I had a chance to stop in while being back home for a bit.I was there early so there was no cover or anything. The music was good. The food was pretty good. Drinks were good and we had excellent service.

I was looking for a spot to grab a drink before meeting up with some friends and needed a nice spot with a cocktail. I went doing a quick google search and also there was a sign outside indicating that there's drinks but no windows or open door (kinda sketch, but hey I was in a "girl needs a drink mood") I walk in, nothing but two double doors and a staircase. Ok. Walk up the staircase, I'm really hoping I made he right choice. And voila! A cute little posh spot in Chelsea with mini chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Decoration is a bit Roman era with head busts in the corner and stone deco on the wall. The drink menu pretty basic, mojitos(white rums),gin and tonic mixes, vodka. Beers and wine. But the bartenders/waitresses were awesome and accommodating and experimented a drink with me and honestly you can never be upset with a customers made drink that you had input with.But the best part- sitting at a high top table overlooking the most beautiful mural representing Chelsea. To the point that when my husband finally showed up we sat there and had another drink and apps.The apps- taps style menu, limited, but NOT disappointing. They had a very global mix of dumplings, Kibbe, Italian, Colombian, Peruvian bites. We tried the kibbe and a beef potato kind of aranicini and it left us wanting more. ( but we had to control ourselves) My recommendation is 1. Add more cocktails and 2. Keep the taps style menu!

The manager on duty was terrible as I am white and she only catered to men that speak Spanish. Terrible experience. I have been here prior with mediocre service minus one young gentleman who was great. The food is terrible as well. Avoid this place at all costs, they should post a sign no whites allowed

A colleague from NYC was up in Boston and invited me to meet him and a few friends for a drink at Populus. I live in Revere and had never heard of it. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! The decor is beautiful and the set up is lovely. The bartenders were very attentive and extremely nice. I can definitely see myself going here much more in the future for drinks and apps. Just an overall wonderful vibe.

The 1st review said it all. I've been coming here for almost a year. It's unassuming on the outside as the best places are usually. You walk in and feel right at home. The lighting is just right, classic decor, leather couches, no cover. Security, owners, managers, bartenders and staff are always pleasant and go above and above their duties. Bathrooms are clean, purse hooks under the bar top, other patrons are very respectable.(That was for the ladies)OK now...the food is GREAT! PHANTOM GOURMET needs to try this calamari!!! It's tossed in a very light batter with seasonings and spice, there's no need to dip it in the sauce. It's juicy all on it's own. Yuca/Cassava bites and chicken wings are a marvel. My friends who live 30-60 min away are still craving it. Select nights have live music and/or karaoke so follow them on IG or call to confirm. I don't like writing reviews because everyone comes and I don't get a seat, lol. This is very much worth it. I'll sit on the floor if they let me.

I went to the new restaurant in Lynn. This is supposed to be a tapas restaurant. If you like large portions, this is the place to go. I ordered a salad and Chicharrones. Both came out on a platter the size to feed three people. I always thought tapas meant small portions. I left most of the food. And it wasn't cheap.
