Boasting Boston’s most extensive wine-by-the-glass menu, Croma’s British origins may not be immediately evident. With a chic décor and Mediterranean menu, don’t expect to find any bangers and mash at this new kid on the Newbury Street block. First established in Manchester, England, Croma Boston mixes up the business-as-usual Newbury Street scene with global flare, creative cocktails, and a surprisingly strong wine list. The signature “Cromatini’s” and burgeoning crowd make Croma a hotspot for young professionals seeking solace at the bottom of their martini glass, or with that tall, dark, and handsome across the bar. The servers and bartenders add to the scene with their best Joan Rivers-esque daily dish on libatious patrons – tasteless fun and tasty drinks have never felt better.
