    Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Sad that this place is no longer "The Rat," where the Pixies once played. But The Rat cocktail almost makes up for it. Almost. Read more

    Alas, i went during off-hours with a short snacks menu. Had tomato soup & grilled cheese sandwich. Soup was good, grilled cheese was tasteless. Service was attentive though

    Eastern Standard's cocktails are always spot-on, try the Seelbach. The boisterous atmosphere is always welcoming and only enhanced by the awesome music selection. Read more

    You won’t be able to figure out what’s in it without the cocktail waitress’ help, but try the Blueberry Thrill. . .or maybe one of the bubbly drinks will get you in the mood. #vday

    on a hot day, the Pimm's Cup is an excellent choice. if you enjoy that, move on to a Dartmouth Highball - it adds muddled mint and ginger, i believe.
