With an ancient goddess of magic as its muse, @hecatebar is dark, intimate, and filled with flourishes inspired by pan-mysticism, including elaborate potions poured by the necromancers at its bar. The cocktails, which are quite complexly crafted and garnished (note the tarot card, cracker of accoutrements, a shell of shaved ice etc.) use a lot of interesting international liquors you won’t recognize from other Boston bars. Drinks are ordered from a leather bound, intricately illustrated book of spells, and each of the 10 seasonal cocktails—categorized as the menu’s “Rites & Rituals”—has a backstory inspired by some kind of podcast-worthy lore the guides are happy to explain. It's worth working into your spooky schedule this month. Read more about the witchy bar through the link in bio. 🎥 @amandalucidi
