Couldn't decide if this should be a bar or restaurant because they do both so well! One of the best cocktail and overall drink menus in the city. Delicious food for dinner or brunch. You might need a reservation. Outdoor seating.

Drinks & Nightlife

They have a delicious food and drink menu with great cocktails, but my favorite part about Lulu's is the beer selection. It's not huge, but it's carefully curated and with quality options.

If you have or can get access to a car (or want to go for a long bike ride), the deCordova is a hidden gem in the area. It's an outdoor sculpture park and small museum.
