Jason Wells+FollowBoston’s best (and worst) holiday bars rankedGreater Boston’s holiday pop-up bars are in full swing, but not all are worth your time (or money). Santa’s Cantina at Loco lives up to the hype with festive vibes and creative drinks—just skip the $16 Nutella bun. The Liberty Bar’s famous upside-down trees? More Instagram than holiday spirit, and those $19 cocktails didn’t help. Noir Bar’s Hanukkah-themed Maccabee Bar scores points for a bold drink menu, while Miracle at Mystic Station in Malden is the true hidden gem—DIY decor, cozy magic, and over-the-top holiday cheer. Which spot would you hit up first, or do you have your own local favorite? #Food #BostonEats #HolidayBars01Share
Robert Daniels+FollowSeaport favorites closing: What’s next for workers?Boston’s Seaport is about to lose two neighborhood staples—Temazcal Tequila Cantina and Tony C’s Sports Bar and Grill—at the end of January, with more than 80 staff members facing layoffs. The closures aren’t due to slow business, but rather the landlord not renewing their leases. For many locals, these spots have been go-to hangouts for years. With the entire staff affected, it’s a tough blow for the community. How do you think this will change the Seaport vibe, and what should fill these empty spaces next? #Food #BostonEats #Seaport00Share

Temazcal has been serving up margaritas since 2011, and Tony C’s has been a go-to for sports fans. What do you think this means for the Seaport’s vibe?
