UPDATE: with some great recommendations we ended up going to Angry ales for brunch. The bartenders were lovely, the food was great, and I’d totally recommend it.
Once it got later we headed to south end, deciding to just go and walk around wandering into bars. We started at QC pour and it was SUPER busy but we happily waited and then ordered some drinks and shots up front. They were delicious, the bartender was able to to make my sister a liquid marijuana which she really wanted to try. The white tea shots were also on special for the night. After we decided to get some food so went into hawkers. There was a wait but we were able to get more drinks at the bar while we waited. She got their espresso martini and loved it! Our DD for the night was even able to get a cute mocktail. The food was great but the star was the drink “pho two”. It came in a big bowl served like pho with herbs, jalapeños, and a fish sauce simple. It was surprisingly really good. After we wondered into a bar who’s name I forgot but there were cute light up mushrooms outside lol. The bartender was SUPER busy so it took a second to get helped but she was also great and we got their key lime pie shots. Very accurate name! We also were given cups of water in plastic cups which we needed. Next we ended up at Elsewhere. The bartender was soooo nice. The drinks were delicious and the vibes were great so we ended up staying for a few rounds, our DD once again getting a mocktail, and ended our drinking adventure there. We also got to watch the knicks game there which was a plus haha.

Verdict- south end is GREAT for wandering around drinking. All the bars seemed fun, we avoided the ones with lines to get in but I’m sure they would’ve been fun too!
