Easily one of the best hidden gems on the north end! Parla is the place to go if you love craft cocktails with an air of mystery, try the dungeon master and roll the dice, you'll be amazed with what you get! Every cocktail is uniquely crafted and their is passion in the drink making! Not to mention that their food is outstanding as well, if you ever have the chance to check this place out, do it, you won't regret it!
Found this gem during a long layover in Boston. Great vibe, delicious food, and outstanding drinks. The host went out of his way to help fit us in when we needed to adjust our reservation. Hope to be back soon!
You can roll a D20 to get a mystery drink, and the concotuons we got were very good but wild. One was the spiciest drink ive ever had. The food here is fantastic, but the plates are small. The restaurant itself is even smaller, so you'll need a reservation to eat. 100% would go again.
Finally got to stop by and can confirm this spot is worth waiting for! Intimate interiors and clever cocktail offerings all lend themselves to Parla’s unique style; this contemporary speakeasy is entirely its own creature. Parla’s menus arrive sandwiched between blank notebooks bearing the doodles and adages of bargoers (reading them is just as fun as adding to them!), their Dungeonmaster program of 20 randomized drink offerings is crazy clever, and Shaylee may just be the world’s best bartender. She was incredibly hospitable and accommodating from the start, even over the phone on a busy night, and continuously ensured we felt welcomed and taken care of despite juggling a 22nd birthday behind us (which the staff kindly interrupted their killer playlist for by queuing up Taylor’s “22” for, all of their own accord) 12/10, will be back and can’t wait for the next round! (buuuuut if you literally can’t wait for a table, give Farmacia down the street a try and try Parla next time ) Dietary restrictions: Super attentive to dietary restrictions, even willing to edit their otherwise-sacred Dungeonmaster offerings!
Enjoyed the service and ambience but the food was very average esp for the price. Drinks were good.
One of my favorite cocktail spots in Boston.
