Barlette

Barlette is a small cocktail bar inside Brookline’s Arcade Building at 318 Harvard Street. The drinks follow a seasonal menu, with guests choosing the base spirit for their cocktail. A short snack menu accompanies the drinks, and the low lighting and small nooks make this a place to settle in with a friend rather than arrive with an unannounced crowd.

Regular service is walk-in only, with seats offered first come, first served. The bar lists Wednesday through Saturday evening hours, but private events can affect the schedule. Check its latest update before setting out. The space is wheelchair accessible, and private bookings can accommodate up to 25 guests. Beer, wine and nonalcoholic drinks are also available, so everyone at the table does not have to be ordering cocktails.
