Best of Boston

With strong drinks, panoramic ocean views, and a shoes-optional vibe, Millie’s has all the makings of the perfect island beach bar. Here longtime locals happily commingle with the weekenders, thanks to plenty of barstools and an excellent rum-based house drink, the Madaket Mystery. Top-notch nibbles such as local fish tacos and fried clam po’ boys encourage the revelry to continue long after that pretty sunset fades into memory.
