Sabina Mezcaleria Boston

Boston’s Mezcal Haven

"Sabina Mezcaleria is Boston’s first mezcal bar, offering smoky spirits, bold Mexican flavors, live salsa, and a vibrant Latin jazz brunch & tastings!"

Welcome to Sabina, Boston’s first mezcaleria! Nestled on Newbury Street, one of Boston’s most lively and dynamic streets, Sabina Mezcaleria offers a unique experience for those eager to explore the world of mezcal. While tequila often takes center stage when thinking of Mexican spirits, mezcal boasts a distinctive smoky depth that can be savored neat or blended into creative cocktails. Unlike Boston’s numerous tequila bars, Sabina stands out as the city’s first true mezcaleria, making it a hidden treasure for both mezcal enthusiasts and those looking to broaden their palates.

At this laid-back yet stylish spot, you can indulge in specialties like huitlacoche empanadas, grasshopper guacamole, and the must-try corn tamal topped with black truffle cream. For those feeling adventurous, sampling the grasshoppers as a snack is an experience in itself. One cocktail not to miss is Nights in Oaxaca, a refreshing blend of mezcal, crushed ginger, basil, and lemon juice.

Sabina’s vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for a night out. On Thursdays and Sundays, guests can enjoy live salsa performances, adding to the energy of the space. The mezcaleria also introduce a latin jazz brunch and mezcal tasting nights, making it a dynamic destination for food, drink, and live music lovers.

To make the most of your visit, reservations are recommended. Whether you’re a mezcal enthusiast or a curious newcomer, Sabina offers an unforgettable dive into Mexico’s agave culture right in the heart of Boston.

Hilton's Tent City

Old school adventure

"Hilton's Tent City" is where the Boston outdoorsmen of yore picked up their stuff before Goretex and GPS. I like that they have modern and classic brands.

Taza Chocolate

Chocolate and nothing but

"Taza Chocolate" Boston - a chocolate factory, but I'll resist the urge to make a Willy Wonka reference. In this shop they make it in the Mexican tradition
