Bring Your Bottoms to Blossom Bar in Brookline

Get those bottoms up...you can finally bring your bottoms to Blossom Bar in Brookline! With a grand opening on January 3rd, the transformed Sichuan Garden is well underway, producing the most amazing cocktails along the most perfect bar in a Boston neighborhood.

Ran Duan — a former Eater Boston Bartender of the Year, led the transition of his parents’ Brookline restaurant from old-school neighborhood Sichuan joint to hip cocktail bar. The happening hot spot will be open from 4 p.m. until 12 a.m. to start, but will eventually have a 2 a.m. liquor license. Duan, who has previously appeared in GQ’s “Men of the Year” edition, has been running the show at Baldwin Bar — the acclaimed cocktail bar inside his parents’ other restaurant, Sichuan Garden II, in Woburn — since 2009, adding The Baldwin & Sons Trading Co. in an upstairs lounge in 2015.

Blossom Bar will offer a menu of about 40 dishes, including favorites from the old Sichuan Garden such as dan dan noodles, pork dumplings with chili vinaigrette, house special eggplant, and Chongqinq dry hot chicken. The bar has a phenomenal cocktail menu and shares these incredible concoctions on its Instagram page to give you a taste before you actually wet your whistle.

Head over to Brookline Village this weekend, drink a cocktail inspired by a notorious smuggler, and eat as many noodles and dumplings as possible. It's the only way to devour the details of the banging new Blossom Bar!
