Brick & Mortar is a dimly lit, intimate cocktail bar in Central Square that has been a Cambridge institution for serious cocktail drinkers. The bartenders are skilled and passionate, the menu rotates seasonally, and the atmosphere is genuinely cool without being pretentious. It's small and fills up quickly, so arrive before 9pm if you want a seat. One of the best cocktail bars in the greater Boston area.
