Bloom Bar

Bloom Bar is a 20-seat tea bar by day and a cocktail bar by night in the Seaport, designed like a Japanese botanical garden with wood, greenery, shoji-style screens and paper-lantern light. Afternoons are for hand-whisked matcha flights, genmaicha and aged teas, most from MEM Tea in Cambridge, with egg salad and fruit cream sandwiches on milk bread. After dark, a bar team that includes James Beard finalist Chompon “Boong” Boonnak takes over. Order the Kyoto martini, which swaps espresso for matcha and adds rum and cachaça, or the kombu shio highball, made with shochu infused with shiso and kombu. Get the martini service and the bartender brings a fresh chilled glass halfway through.
