Hard-boiled egg with your Pisco Sour? Snag one off the bar at the B-SIDE LOUNGE. This somewhat off-the-beaten-path hang is on the radar of anyone in Cambridge (and beyond) who wants an amazing cocktail and doesn’t want to have to maneuver through a pretentious crowd of food snobs to get it. The cocktail menu is organized by liquor base, making for easy parsing and exploration. Try the B-Sidecar, the Aviation, or the Mullet, a trash-tastic marriage of Bud Light and Sambuca. The nighttime crowd here sports the hipster uniform du jour; think Bettie Page bangs and cherry tattoos. Sunday brunch at the B-Side is one of the best-kept secrets in town.
