3 Somerville Bars Make Boston Magazine's 'Top 35' List

SOMERVILLE, MA – The latest issue of Boston Magazine delves into the area's nightlife, ranking the best watering holes in greater Boston. Among the list of 35 bars were three Somerville haunts. To compile its rankings, the publication hit up every bar in town (good work if you can get it) to look at service, selection and ambiance.

Bars were divided into categories such as "Cocktail Bars," "Hotel Bars," "Hipster Haunts" and more.

Here are the three Somerville bars that made the list, according to Boston Magazine:

Backbar (Cocktail Bar): A surefire way to impress any cocktail aficionado, this bar "feels conspiratorial in the way that the best bars do," Boston Magazine writes. The publication advises customers to place their trust in the staff and order whatever the drink of the week is.

Trina’s Starlite Lounge (Hipster Haunt): The retro ambiance and "spot-on" cocktails aside, what really makes the bar is its patrons. "Spend an evening hoisting pints with the regulars, and you’re well on your way to becoming one yourself," the magazine promises.

Parlor Sports (Fun & Games): The "artisanal bro" vibe is perfect for the classy sports fan, according to Boston Magazine. Watching basketball here is strongly advised.
