Bloom

Bloom is a Seaport cocktail bar and lounge that treats tea and spirits as equal starting points for craft and creativity, serving matcha by day and cocktails by night. The menu centers on signature tea-based cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages, along with elevated versions of classic cocktails and tea drinks such as matcha lattes. The bar is tucked away intimately under an escalator, which the founders pitch as part of a unique experience.

The founders took their inspiration from high-end Japanese cocktail bars in Tokyo and experiential coffee shops across Asia, admiring their precise execution of simple drinks made with natural ingredients and their warm hospitality. To bring that approach to Boston, they built an opening team that includes Markus Yao and Iruma Shibuya, both trained in Japanese-style bartending. The space is designed to feel unhurried, drawing on the idea of the outdoors as the original third space.
