Zagat Releases Hottest Bars in Boston List

Pabu Boston's owners take a highball seriously. On their Facebook page, they talk about the execution of "pouring soda water down the bar spoon to help maintain its effervescence." Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Zagat just released its new installment of "Hottest Bars," with several recommendations in Boston.

Check out their full list here.

Pabu Boston- The recently opened restaurant resides in the new Millennium Tower has a 72-seat sake and whisky bar, and Japanese-New England fusion seafood. Award-winning Chef Michael Mina started managing at the age of 15, and has cooked in cities internationally.

Zagat mentions: "Insider tip: Ask for the "Japanese Whisky Ceremony," whereby ingredients like citrus oils or spices are smoked tableside to season a glass, lending a complementary essence to the drink."

Check out the restaurant's site for reservations on Open Table.

Dorchester Brewing Company- For a more casual experience, check out the Dorchester taproom, which recently opened in July. The 25,000 sq. foot facility in Dorchester can produce, package, store, sell, market and feature beers in its tasting room.

Zagat recommends: Try a flight so you can experience all this new brewery has to offer. And then, if you're looking for a style you won't find at most other local taprooms, check out the smooth, slightly fruity Clapp's cream ale.
