The ambiance felt like I was in a Harry Potter movie, the staff was sweet and I really enjoyed this bar! I probably stayed longer than I should’ve but it was too good to leave early! I also made new friends!! 😁

Hip, tiny spot for creative cocktails in the north end. Huge, quirky menu with a hilariously fun “TLDR” option where you (literally) roll the dice for a drink. Excellent service, reservations recommended. Will be back for sure!

Great cocktails! I usually go there for their dungeon master, to try different drinks. Almost all my drinks have been great.
Loved the concept of dungeon master, I take all my friends visiting me in Boston to this place and everyone had LOVED it!

A great spot for brunch if you are visiting Boston! It is very small so you need to make a reservation if you plan on visiting, make sure you ask to see the drink menu as it is super unique!!

My bartender was great. The cocktail was fantastic. I loved the atmosphere. I was by myself so the nice chat with the bartender and being able to doodle/read the doodles in the menus was a nice plus.

Came here for date night and had a fun time! Rolling for random cocktails was a blast, and drinks we got were good, if not a little strange. A little pricey, but that's the North End for ya. Looking forward to coming back and rolling again!

Do you want fancy cocktails? Do you want great food? Do you want to be a dungeon master drinker? Parla has all of it in the atmosphere of a small speakeasy hole in the wall. The food selection is amazing and they have delicious options. They have a "Dungeon Master" challenge where you roll a D20 and whatever number it lands on is what you get. You'll get a card and after you drink all 20 drinks, you'll get the choice to have them curate a drink based on which ones you like and then name it yourself and add it to the menu. The only reason I'm giving a 4 star review is that the food portions are a little small for the price and some of the drinks I got weren't very good. That is personal preference however but be aware that you could get a drink that has a liquor base that you don't like. Gotta deal with what the dice rolled for you though!
Also side note, they have these cute little booklets the menus come in that you can add your own message or poem or drawing in. Just ask for a pen!

The food was excellent, Unlike most of the disappointing restaurants in the North End! Drinks were fun and creative. We did their dungeon master drink game, and it was fun actually. But good luck if you land on 15! The only criticism is that some tables got free shots and some did not, I am not sure of the criteria for the shots!

What a fun, funky, spectacular little place! Make a reservation if you don't want to wait, but we never had to wait more than 15 minutes even at the busiest time. The staff here is absolutely The Best and astoundingly knowledgeable about all things mixology. Do the "Dungeon Master" dice rolling to discover some surprising new drinks! Highly recommended.

Such an experience!! Everything about this place was just so much fun - the menu, the drinks, the little notebooks hidden in the tables, etc. The concept of rolling the 20-sided die to choose your drink is so fun and adventurous, but it goes even beyond that! You’re given a card to track your progress so I’m intensely motivated to get all 20 just for my competitiveness’ sake, but if you do get all 20 they craft you a custom cocktail and you have access to “the bucket list” which is 17 drinks for $99 (must have a group of at least 4 to do) so how cool is that?! I went with a group of 5 and we ended up getting 8 of the 20 secret cocktails - some are really out there, but honestly none tasted bad. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. You can “Swansonize” a drink which means they give you 50% more of the cocktail you order plus they give you a side of bacon for free (the bacon was so good). If you’re looking for a really fun experience and delicious food this is definitely the spot.
