I went to Rare Lounge located in Encore Boston Harbor Casino📍 to celebrate a friends birthday🎂 this week.

This swanky cocktail🍹 spot offers an excellent assortment of small and big bites to split amongst your friends or family. You also will fall in love ❤️ with the ambiance at this spot! As soon as we arrived we were immediately serenaded by @emimcswain on the piano🎹 (she kept playing my fav Lady gaga!!!)

For cocktails we had the calico skies, harlow, love story, lucky streak and wild wood. If you are a whisky🥃 lover or perhaps desire a smokey presentation I recommend getting the wild wood it has Makers Mark ‘Encore Select’ Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey. If you love tequila then I recommend getting the calico skies or the harlow cocktails. All the drinks were very delicious 9/10.

Fo small bites we had the mini lobster🦞rolls 7/10, pigs🐷 in blanket 7/10, chicken🐔 sliders 8/10, cheesesteak bites 9/10, and the tuna cones 8/10. My personal favorites from the small bites were the cheesesteak🧀🥩 and the chicken sliders. The cheesesteak was beautifully prepared with caramelized onions 🧅, aged provolone cheese sauce on a black truffle🍄 brioche roll. The chicken sliders also cooked perfectly and had kimchi ranch, cabbage slaw and cucumber.

For big bites we had the steakhouse burger🍔, the truffle grilled cheese🥪, and the steak🥩 frites. My personal favorite was the truffle grilled cheese. They did not skimp on the truffle here! This sandwich had gruyère, aged cheddar, truffle aioli, and seashore fries🍟 All the big bites came with perfectly seasoned/cooked fries🥰

For dessert we had the warm chocolate truffle cake🍨🍰 and a chocolate martini. The truffle cake contained whiskey ice cream, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce and bacon🥓 caramel popcorn🍿. So many flavor bombs with this dessert! It all came together so well and is definitely a must try if you are into boozy desserts.

Stop by this spot if you are in Encore and want to be serenaded with great music drinks and food!
