Zagat's 'Hipster Dining Guide' Includes Somerville Bar

Zagat has posted something called, "Hipster Dining Guide: 24 Restaurants Around the U.S.," and a Somerville bar made the cut.

And surprise! The bar is in Union Square: Backbar.

Zagat had this to say about it's Somerville selection:

"This cocktail lounge is a sibling to neighboring restaurant Journeyman, a tasting-menu-only restaurant guided by the chef's whim du jour. Backbar is equally ambitious and just as keen on the details—drink geeks rightly swear by its custom pours and hip, clandestine vibe."

It also said Backbar is in Boston. Normally I'd pitch a fit, but I get it: It's in Boston the same way Central Square's Brick & Mortar, which also made the list, is in Boston, along with Harvard.
