Creative and delicious cocktails in a swanky-intersects-quirky environment.
This place is small and only has maybe 25 seats.
And another 5 stars.
The space is cute, the staff makes it work and is very pleasant.
The drinks were as good as it gets in Boston, and the food (just tried one appetizers) was really nice.
Happy to have this new place around!
Great Cocktail Bar, small but amazing coktails, bartender is not only nice, but created a great Cocktail just from describing what I normally like
Amazing cocktails. Cool atmosphere, with knowledgeable bartenders. Perfect place to hang out!
A gorgeous, intimate stand-up adult snack bar! Tiffani Faison has outdone herself with this new spot. Come for one of their specialty drinks which change seasonally and stay for one of their sammies, croquettes, or splurge on the caviar service. Save room for dessert!
Such a great little gem! Amazing cocktails, super friendly staff and gorgeous aesthetic!
Simply one of the best experiences I’ve had in Boston. Fantastic drink selection, especially if you like scorches. Knowledgeable staff and bartenders who have a vested interest in representing not only their bar but the city of Boston as well. If I could rate 6 stars, I would.
The bartenders are delightfully knowledgable and enjoy helping you find something you'll like. The whipped butter that came with the bread was amazing.
Fantastic Spot! Cocktails were amazing, personally I don’t like cocktails too sweet and they had the right suggestions. We had Tim making our cocktails and he did a phenomenal job!
I love this Adult Snack Bar. We got a bunch of small plates, like 10, and split them between 4 of us. How it works is that you pop in and stand at the bar and get served everything right there and you see the chef and everyone right there. Everyone was terrific, they will explain things readily if you have questions about the food or menu. The place is so nice, a great atmosphere to be in. It's fancy, yet casual enough at the same time, great feel. All the food was well made and it's real food, you could taste the flavors of herbs, cheese, potato, avocado, radicchio, peaches, lobster toast, and more all marrying together in their individual dishes. It was wonderful to eat food that didn't rely on heavy salt and sugar for flavor-it felt great, satisfying and very fun!! The drinks were very nice as well-not sugar laden!! Quality ingredients. Oh and, oh my God, the burger, it was the best burger from any place I've tried, just gorgeous flavor to enjoy. So well done!
Chic but relaxed bar serving up craft cocktails and gourmet snacks. Owned by the same chef of Tiger Mama and Sweet Cheeks; the same attention to food and cocktails is highlighted by their giant chalkboard sign menu.
The fortified wine cocktails are fun and interesting. No table service as this is just a small bar. This place typically draws a crowd every Friday and Saturday night. Food menu is all snacks, do not expect a full menu (adult snack bar is in the name.. duh). Service is top notch, even when crowded. Definitely a must for a quick drink in the Fenway neighborhood.
My new favorite hidden gem in the city... worth the trip into Fenway. Delicious small bites, creative cocktails, fabulous bartender and staff. The space is quaint, interesting, fun, and unlike any other bar or restaurant in a Boston. Will be back again and again.
I LOVE what they’ve got going here. Chef Faison’s concept is so great here - excellently crafted drinks and just plain-ol great snacks. They’re not afraid to serve you raclette, beautiful bread and fresh whipped butter, nor do they shy away from something bougie like caviar, but they’re not afraid to dish it out with a single-serving size bag of classic Lays chips. I love the juxtaposition! It’s so welcoming, like it’s just great drinks and great snacks and everything is just grounded in what tastes good! Also, highest rated bathroom in Boston by far, so how can one not like this place?

Pricey but swanky-chic. Fool's Errand is standing room only, but there are helpful hooks and bars aplenty for you to rest your hip or foot against while you're enjoying your $14 cocktails and $5-15 apps. Service is super friendly; our bartender was generous with the pillowy bread and sinfully delicious bread (complimentary, the butter comes shaped like a meringue which adds to the intrigue) and was furthermore enthusiastic about making / pouring / serving our drinks. I got the Poison Apple cocktail which was refreshing and not too sweet, even when I asked for them to go light on the alcohol (I know, I know, but I was driving that night). We also got the roni and mozz -- sort of a arancini / fried mac & cheese -- which the bartender helpfully put in an order of 4 given our group size (even though it typically comes with 3). We also ordered the crab dip. The crab dip was the TINIEST shmear, but it was delicious despite being a little hard to split 4-ways.
Ambiance is dark and Fool's Errand is one of the few bars I've discovered in Cambridge/Boston that doesn't have a TV...which I sort of love. I wish it were slightly less noisy, although the playlist is solid, full of great 90s hits -- Stevie Nicks, Simple Minds, and other great nostalgic songs. Even the bathroom is surprisingly nice: cloth towels and a little candy jar, which only called to mind Ellen DeGeneres's most recent Netflix comedy special.
All in all, a good place to get drinks, if you don't mind standing and loosening your purse strings a bit. Don't expect to get full, but expect to have a good and friendly time.
Katrina was amazing! Great bartender, really interesting cocktail. Thanks for a great time!
