Hecate

Hecate sits beneath Krasi in Back Bay, with its entrance on Public Alley 443. Inside, low lighting and deep house music set the mood for drinks that give you plenty to talk about. The cocktail menu works with ingredients such as eucalyptus, sea buckthorn, and toasted coconut; Nightmarch pairs rum with oolong and caramelized pineapple soda, finished with salted guava foam. There’s a separate zero-proof menu, too. Come for cocktails and a few things to share: the snack menu includes popcorn with tzatziki seasoning, cheesy bread with honey butter, and spicy feta with pita chips. Hecate doesn’t take reservations, so leave some flexibility in your evening. It also has no phone; send questions directly to the bar by email rather than calling Krasi upstairs.
