Hidden Gem No More: Less Than Greater Than Crowned Best Speakeasy in Massachusetts
There’s something undeniably magical about discovering a hidden bar — that thrill of secrecy, the hushed conversations, the carefully crafted cocktails served in dim, moody light. And this year, Less Than Greater Than in Hudson has taken that experience to new heights by earning the title of Best Speakeasy in Massachusetts from Chowhound’s “Best Speakeasy in Every US State” list.
🍸 What Makes Less Than Greater Than Stand Out
Tucked away on Main Street, this speakeasy is the kind of place you’d expect to find in a mystery novel rather than through a quick Google search. At first glance, there’s nothing to suggest what lies beyond the old cobbler’s storefront — in fact, there isn’t a visible entrance at all. To get in, guests enter through New City Microcreamery, head down a ramp, and flip the switch beside a locked door. That hidden entrance sets the tone for an unforgettable night.
Once inside, the charm continues:
Craft Cocktails with Personality: Specialty drinks — thoughtfully composed and skillfully executed — take center stage. Fans rave about the inventiveness of the cocktail menu and the caliber of flavor in every pour.
Vintage Ambiance: The space elegantly captures that classic speakeasy feel — cozy, intimate, and steeped in nostalgia.
Local Love: Beyond the drinks, locals can’t stop talking about the full dinner menu available through Restaurant Tyler, which elevates the experience with delicious food options.
🌟 From Hidden Bar to Statewide Recognition
While Massachusetts has no shortage of cocktail bars and intimate lounges, Less Than Greater Than stood out in Chowhound’s nationwide roundup — an acknowledgment of its creative execution, unique charm, and the unforgettable experience that keeps guests coming back.
This honor not only puts Hudson’s speakeasy on the map for cocktail lovers across the state (and beyond), but it also celebrates the creativity and hospitality that goes into making Less Than Greater Than a must-visit destination.
📍 Behind the Curtain
Whether you’re a local who’s been keeping the secret or a traveler seeking Massachusetts’ most memorable bar experiences, Less Than Greater Than proves that great things come to those who know where to look — and, more importantly, those who know how to craft an unforgettable night. 🍸🍾
