Wink & Nod

The manager is a class act all the way! The fire alarm went off because of smoke on the sixth floor and after a brief evacuation, he comped all of us drinks and apologized profusely. It's an electric and funky place with great food and drinks and a nod (see what I did there?) to an old-school speakeasy. Good luck with parking (if you drive) but I guess ride-sharing can easily solve that problem.

Went to Wink & Nod with a group after work and had a great time. It was a Tuesday so the service was a little on the slow side but the waiter was impeccable. He wrote nothing down for our table of 7 but remembered everything perfectly. The drinks were amazing! Super creative and nothing like I'd had before. The food though was so-so. The burrata and the Black truffle Arancini were excellent. For dinner I had the zucchini fritters and tuna cannoli which was simply tuna in a cannoli shell, which just wasn't for me. I'd go back again for drinks and a few apps but would do dinner elsewhere.

Unfortunate... I wanted to give this place a chance with such a cool ambiance (4.5/5), but the tuna crudo cannolis were extremely disappointing (2/5) - room temperature, no flavor in the tuna, overpowered by sweetness of the cannoli that just didn't work. The arancini was fine, not the best I've had (4/5). We ordered a whisky flight and asked if our server could tell us a little about the drinks, but he didn't even know their names, just pointed out they were ordered from light to dark. I understand what the place is trying to be, but they need a menu makeover and some more enthused and knowledgeable staff. If you already know your whisky and aren't looking for a bite to eat, this spot is worth adding to your list.

Went with a group of 5 on a Friday night for drinks before a 7:30 dinner reservation. Between the 5 of us, I think we tried every cocktail on the menu and were not disappointed by any of them. We also got a few small bites which were unique and flavorful takes on some of my favorite things (like gyoza). I honestly saw so many other things we would have ordered for small bites if we didn't have dinner already planned. Our waiter was really sweet and attentive and overall it was a cozy, great place I'd definitely go back to for drinks after work.

Unfortunately the whole experience here was so below average. As a "speakeasy" it didn't feel intimate or warm in the least. My boyfriend asked for a suggestion for a fun twist on a whiskey sour and he literally was handed a whiskey sour - everything felt uninspired and that we were an inconvenience. For a Tuesday as well, not worth the effort. Maybe the rotating chef and menu is chill but otherwise I would say pass. We wished we would have stayed at beehive - service was great and music was awesome there.

Exquisite and cozy speakeasy! The food was delicious, my favorite was the butternut squash, the creaminess of the squash paired well with the crunchy grains. I got the So What cocktail, which has Belvedere, hazelnut liquor, chai, coffee syrup and a few other ingredients. I thought it was good, not too sweet, but slightly overpriced for what it was ($18).Not too hard find, and it can get pretty busy, so reservations are recommended. The wait staff was slow and it took a while for them to take our order, give us our check, etc. I also mentioned it was my friend's birthday in the reservation, but it amounted to nothing...which I understand due to how busy the location was. Overall, great ambiance, good food! Will be back to try some of their other drinks

Great place to have a high quality cocktail! The bartender and service was great and i actually learned a lot just hanging at the bar asking questions. Ambiance gives off solid speakeasy vibes.

My husband and I always try to seek out speakeasy style cocktail bars in cities that we visit. We lucked out with Wink & Nod, just around the corner from the StayPineapple Hotel. The bar has a simple sign in front (not hard to find but not flashy), and you walk a few steps down to another door for the bar. We walked in at 8pm without a reservation, but we were able to grab one seat at the bar, and about 10 minutes in, another opened up for us.The cocktails we chose tasted great, with pretty garnishes and both cold and warm options for those chilly Boston nights. The only downside was that the drinks took forever to make, because there were only 2 bartenders serving a bar full of 60+ people. I felt bad because it's not really their fault - maybe short staffed that night? - and they were apologetic. (One of the hosts gave me a free nonalcoholic cocktail when the person who ordered it abruptly left.)We kept it to just two cocktails each and called it a night around 11pm. Still a great bar with a nice vibe, but hope they can get more staff.

What a find!!! The inside is very swanky and walking up, you don't even realise it's there. A small plaque invites you in and we were immediately greeted by a host. The bar staff were all super knowledgeable and even crafting their very own cocktails. The resident chef when we visited was creating Japanese cuisine and it was the very best sushi we had ever had! Excellent experience. Highly recommend. Very friendly staff from start to finish.

I created a Yelp account just to say that the service and drinks were amazing. Nico, our server, was extremely attentive and had fantastic suggestions. The drinks that were brought to us were so good. The vibes are immaculate, my friends and I cannot be happier with our time here. We will definitely be back soon.Friday nights are extremely busy so it was quite difficult to get drinks quick, but it is definitely worth the wait.
