9 Somerville Bars Among Eater's 'Most Essential'

SOMERVILLE, MA – Boston proper may hold the nightlife crown around here, but don't sleep on Somerville. From Davis Square to Assembly Row, there's no shortage of watering holes if you don't want to hop on the T or sit in traffic on I-93.

Eater recently released its list of the "50 Most Essential Bars" in the Boston area. Nine Somerville bars made the cut:

• Spoke Wine Bar, 89 Holland St.
• Five Horses Tavern, 400 Highland Ave.
• Saloon, 255 Elm St.
• Backbar, 7 Sanborn Ct.
• Casa B, 253 Washington St.
• The Independent, 75 Union Sq.
• The Kirkland Tap & Trotter, 425 Washington St.
• Trina's Starlite Lounge, 3 Beacon St.
• Parlor Sports, 1 Beacon St.
