On Friday of last week, I had the joy of visiting the Boston Shaker in Somerville, Mass., a semi-new store-within-a-store that specializes in bar- and glassware, cocktail makings (everything but the booze, that is), and other fun stuff. I had a fun visit with proprietor Adam Lantheaume, and enjoyed a cameo appearance by Fred Yarm, of Cocktail Virgin Slut. Here’s a bit of a photo tour, for those who’ve never see the place. Forgive the blurriness of some of these photos. Also, if you’re a regular viewer of my Flickr stream, forgive the fact that you’ve already seen all these damn pics.

Adam, proprietor of The Boston Shaker

Proud, happy proprietor Adam. Say, “Hi Adam!”

Lovely pewter julep cups, made by a company in Connecticut. Support almost-local business! I’m hoping to add a couple of these to my home bar fairly soon.

Sterling-silver cocktail picks. At nearly a Benjy a pair, these ain’t coming home with me anytime soon.

Books ‘n’ more.

Bitters, and a lot of them.

Paraphernalia, muddlers, syrups, etc.
