There’s no better way to start the year off right than by raising your Boston bar experience. Admit it, we’re all guilty of going to the same bar with the same people and ordering the same drink – thereby turning our “Happy Hours” into pretty much the same hour day-after-day. It’s time in 2014 to spice up your cocktail experience.

So this year, we’re asking you to break out of your routine by trying different libations around town. And considering that we live in a very social city with plenty of new and unique watering holes, there’s no reason to imbibe at the same, neighborhood bar every day. Which is why we recruited none other than Tom O’Keefe (a.k.a. @BostonTweet) to help point you in the right direction.

Here, the Boston expert will tell you where to find his favorite cocktails in the Hub – including that Shotski, above.
