Parla's hidden drink list that you can only get by rolling the dice

🎲 Parla: Somerville’s Hidden Bar Gem—Where Dice, Secret Menus, and Sister Recommendations Shine My friend swore by this spot, and she was so right. Parla isn’t just a bar—it’s an experience, perfect for a girls’ night (sisters yyds, am I right? 👯♀️). I’m already planning a “hidden bar” roundup, and this one’s top of the list. 🍹 The Dice Cocktail Challenge: Genius Fun Here’s the vibe: You roll dice to pick drinks from their secret menu—no descriptions, just mystery. Collect a full card of tries, and they’ll name a custom cocktail after you (based on your taste!). Even better? The menu rotates, so every visit feels new. The drinks: 5 stars, unlike anything else. No boring classics here. A traditional Old Fashioned? They swap whiskey for rum. Fruity sips? Infused with unexpected herbs or spices. Alcohol levels are mellow—three drinks in, and I was still giggly, not tipsy. Ingredient Guessing Game: Win a free shot if you guess half the ingredients (and yes, “Scotch Whiskey” counts—vague answers don’t cut it). The bartenders drop hints, but it’s tricky—part of the fun. We laughed so hard failing (and nailing one). 🍟 The Food: More Than Just Bar Snacks Calamari, Pasta, Fries: 4 stars. Solid, satisfying, and perfect for soaking up alcohol. Crispy, well-seasoned, and way better than your average bar grub. 📍 Pro Tips Location: Somerville—worth the trip from Boston proper. Reservations: Book ahead on weekends—it fills up fast (and for good reason). Vibe: Cozy, low-key, and full of energy—no loud music, just great chat and clinking glasses. 🌟 Verdict Parla is a must for cocktail lovers and anyone who hates “basic” bar nights. The dice game, secret menus, and friendly staff make it feel like a hidden club (in the best way). Bring your crew, roll the dice, and get ready to name your own drink. 📍 Parla (Somerville): Boston’s best kept bar secret—your new go-to for fun, flavor, and sister time. #BostonBars #HiddenGems #CocktailLovers
