Les Zygomates Jazz Bar / Restaurant / Wine Bar

Chinatown / Leather District, Boston –

Boasting an outstanding wine selection and an intimate bistro atmosphere, Les Zygomates is a prime date night destination for those looking for a taste of Paris near downtown Boston.

The business people and artsy types who settle in at the candlelit tables shouldn’t be fooled by the delicious bistro fair and perfectly prepared raw oysters – this nightspot is first and foremost a wine bar, as evidenced by the two hundred bottles artfully arranged behind the bar.

On Tuesday nights, the bar hosts themed wine tastings, with family-style seating offering singles a great chance to mingle while sampling wines from around the globe.

As the weekend nears, packs of young professionals, bohemians, and wine lovers fill the tables looking out to South Street, or congregate at the zinc bar for after-work chitchat.

Vintage Art Deco posters on the exposed brick walls and a live jazz band add to the romantic atmosphere that marks the bar as a favorite for first dates and anniversaries.

Despite the elegant décor and clientele, Les Zygomates maintains a casual and playful vibe perfect for a low-key evening of cocktails and conversation.
