The Wig Shop

Occupying a former wig and costume store at 27 Temple Place, The Wig Shop transforms the mundane into the theatrical — glitzy interiors, exuberant cocktails, and a food menu that takes bar snacks seriously. Ranked No.86 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2026, the bar accepts reservations from 5 to 7pm Tuesday through Saturday and operates walk-in only after that, maintaining a buzzy, slightly chaotic energy that suits the room. The cocktail programme runs broad — stirred classics for the purists, shaken tropicals for the adventurous, and a rotating list of house specials that reflect whatever the bar team is obsessing over that month. Open seven nights a week until 2am, which is practically revolutionary for Boston. The city's most consistently fun night out.
