Our Take

Shore Leave — South End

Shore Leave is the South End basement tropical-cocktail bar — a Polynesian-themed room with bamboo paneling, a thatched bar and one of Boston's most respected tiki programmes.

Cocktails are tiki-classics done with technical precision — Mai Tai with hand-cut ice, Pearl Diver with house orgeat, Jungle Bird with fresh pineapple. The bar runs a 100+ bottle rum programme. Capacity small — reservation recommended.

Reserve via Resy. Walk-in possible Tue-Wed before 9pm.

Rum Selection
