Massachusetts Cocktail Bar Named Best in America by Esquire
Going to a fantastic Massachusetts cocktail bar is a trend that will never go away. The best bars in America have an inviting feeling, and whether they’re upscale or totally downhome, you just want to go there and chill. If you travel around America, you’ll find a ton of awesome, locally-owned bars with their own native flavor. Now, the experts at Esquire magazine have researched bars throughout the U.S. to determine the best bars in America. If you’re looking to get your drink on, one trendy New England cocktail bar made this special list.
Massachusetts Cocktail Bar Named the Best in America
Esquire magazine has scoured the country to find the best bars in America. They’re also celebrating bar culture along the way. “Bars have always been that third place, the spot where you hang outside work and home,” they explain. “But as we’ve discovered crisscrossing the country over the past twelve months to visit the new bars, they’re doing that in more nuanced and varied ways than they have in a long time.” As for bar trends, they note that a lot of bars are pretty complex these days. For example, plenty of bars have a nightclub component, so you can decide to chill in the bar portion of the venue or go to the hot, dance-filled area. Whether you’re at a top-notch nightclub-type bar or a hole-in-the-wall place, Esquire has made sure to pick bars that make their clients and customers feel welcome. Because, really, going to a bar isn’t just about the drinking. Having a night at the bar is about talking to people, making new friends and having a good time with the local community. I enjoy going to the bar for the social aspect. I enjoy seeing friends and making new ones in that kind of fun environment.
So, which Massachusetts cocktail bar made the cut for the best bars in America according to the experts at Esquire? It’s the very cool Equal Measure in Boston. When you walk into this bar, you’re greeted by a portrait of Stanley Tucci shaking a Negroni, which Esquire notes is a “nod to the name of the joint: The Negroni is the most famous equal-parts drink, but tried-and-true cocktail folks know that you certainly don’t shake it.” I love how this bar really specializes in all kind of cocktails, and I hear the martini is amazing. I’m thrilled to see this newer Massachusetts cocktail bar get some national love from the experts at Esquire magazine.
Ways to Be Instantly More Attractive in the Dating Game
Be interested in the other person
This one might seem odd. If you’re trying to attract someone, why would you try to focus on them? But, it works. People like to feeling like the person their with is actually interested in them. It helps you actually be an attractive person if it isn’t always about you and if you focus on your partner, date or friend.

Be comfortable
Sure, you want to look good on your date. But, if you’re wearing heels that are too high or pants that look cool but just don’t fit, you might be uncomfortable, and that will make the other person uncomfortable. “The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. If you are not comfortable, it will show in your body language and your date will be able to tell,” says Houseofcoco.net.

Be confident
Everyone always talks about confidence being attractive, and they’re not wrong. Being confident in yourself is a very attractive quality. You don’t need to be an egomaniac or anything, though. No bragging fests on a first date. Just, be confident in who you are and in the spectacular, rock star of a person that God created you to be.

Be yourself
This goes along with confidence. Just be you, because nobody else can be you. “As cheesy as it sounds, the most important thing you can do on a date is to look and act like your authentic self,” notes Southerntide.com.

Smell nice
This is a tricky one. I’m not a big fan of perfume. But, it’s good to smell nice on a date. That said, do not – I repeat, to not – overdue it. There’s really no bigger turnoff than someone who smells like they just took a dive into a pool of really strong perfume or cologne. Less is more.

Smile
Show off those pearly whites! Something as simple as smiling can make you instantly appear attractive, because it implies that you’re happy on both the outside and inside. No RBF, please. Smiling is contiguous, too, in the best possible way.

Display good posture
Your mom was right when she told you to sit up straight. “Slouching makes you look unconfident and bored, neither of which are attractive qualities,” notes Houseofcoco.net. “Sit up straight and make sure your shoulders are back. It will make you look more confident and alert, two qualities that are sure to impress your date.”

Have fun
Dating and socializing is supposed to be fun. Humans were meant to be together in a community, and that’s a good thing. So, just have fun on your date. Be playful. Laugh. Flirt. Wink. Okay, maybe don’t wink. That’s creepy. But, you can send a wink emoji. Simply have fun.
