A new piano bar is bringing booze and sing-alongs to Boston.
The intrigue: The 88 Club, a piano bar launched out of Kings Entertainment, breathes new life into a relatively quiet corner of Back Bay.
State of play: The bar opened last Saturday with a full lineup of pianists for the month.
- They celebrate their grand opening on Thursday.
The verdict: Go for the piano players, stay for the cocktails. Just don't expect a hearty meal.
- They serve snacks like pigs in a blanket and pretzels with big cheese — tasty and filling enough, but nothing revolutionary.
🪩 1 drink to go: The "Pink Pony Margarita," a $13 semi-sweet drink topped with a sparkling disco ball.
- All it needs is a rainbow flag and Chappell Roan would approve.
