It is located right where the Pride Parade starts on June 13, 2015, so the area is perfect for revelers to get their drink on before or after enjoying the procession. Make sure to try one of the bar's flavorful cocktails, such as the Algonquin Spice or the Basil Cucumber Collins.

In 2015, Boston's Pride Festival is happening in City Hall Plaza. It is quite nearby Faneuil Hall, where Boston's self-proclaimed best tequila menu resides within the Mija Cantina. What better way is there to celebrate the nuances of life than by sitting in a simply laid out bar drinking tequila? Apart from the variety of tequilas and tequila cocktails, there are also authentic Mexican menu items that even the food critics in the bunch will love.
