28 Degrees

SOUTH END. A lounge that transcends cool, 28's wins high marks thanks to its suave atmosphere, inventive cuisine and superb cocktails. Indeed, whether it's to indulge in tuna tartare, to savor a key lime martini (the lounge, after all, is named after the optimal chilling temperature for martinis), or to listen to the hip soundtrack assembled by that night's DJ, this South Ender is the type of place where hip, young urbanites hold sway. Aesthetically, the space features basic black and white walls, dim lighting and soft, comfortable banquettes.
