Equal Measure

Equal Measure gives you an eleven-seat bar and a small lounge beside Eastern Standard in Fenway. Jackson Cannon’s cocktail bar has room for drinks that take a few chances: Spill the Tea combines black-tea-infused rum with Earl Grey condensed cream and shortbread, while Down the Rabbit Hole brings carrot and turmeric into a tequila cocktail. The alcohol-free choices get similar attention. Order miniature mortadella corn dogs, arancini sliders or lobster rolls if drinks turn into something longer. Reservations are encouraged, though walk-ins are welcome when space allows. Find the entrance on the Beacon Street side of the Bower plaza, and account for Fenway crowds if there is a game or concert.
