Dorman Street Saloon

Our favorite haunts, hangouts, and neighborhood spots.

Here lies the deepest jukebox in the city.

A strong sense of community pervades one little downtown neighborhood populated with charming 1800s Victorians.

A hilly spot with a skyline view perfect for watching the Fourth of July fireworks over downtown, and the edge Flat 12 Bierwerks has on Sun King.

Shawn and Tammy Miller welcome crowds to their ambitious new cocktail spot. Promising “approachable New American” cuisine and both classic and contemporary cocktails, the bar mingles upscale mixology with surprisingly hearty dishes.

Miller has operated the Dorman Street Saloon for a decade and is now venturing out with her second establishment, the Liberty Street bar, in a Mass Ave building she and her husband have owned for 30 years.

Tin ceilings and now a massive handmade mahogany bar set the tone for Shawn and Tammy Miller’s 1920s-inspired bar, Liberty Street, set to open in the former Yats location at 653 Massachusetts Avenue within weeks.

Opened in 1908, this Cottage Home bar caters to a loyal following of urban hipsters and neighborhood transplants who flock to it for cheap PBR and the divey digs.
