Backbar will open today at 4 p.m., one day ahead of schedule, per their Facebook page. This means that we can get an early start on our weekend with one of their potent Manhattans. The Journeyman-owned libation destination is at 9 Sanborn Court in Somerville’s lovely Union Square neighborhood. Their Facebook page encourages curious drinkers to call 617-718-024 to reserve a spot, as they’re sure to be busy. And, if you make it over, let us know what you think! [FB]
