Achilles' Project - my review

So when you enter this Fort Point bar/retail store, you enter into what looks like an artistic expression of clothes, very expensive clothes, hanging around you and then a opening with flat screen TVs hanging from the ceiling...and then a bar. Is it a bar? A lounge? A restaurant? A clothing store with actual customer service? It's all in one.

The flat screens were showing the Sox game, but a few had Wiis...and you don't even have to sign up for the Wii's - it's first come first serve. Fun fun. And the bar has cocktails that will make you tipsy with one sip - in a good way. :)

Bar food was good - especially the bacon pretzel...we enjoyed those. The squid chickpea salad was really delicious, but my only issue was that the place was relatively expensive. I think the Achilles' Project is definitely going to be a drinking spot after a night at Lucky's and not the other way around (are crew ended up at Lucky's to actually eat a real dinner). As for the people scene - definitely caters to the crowd that works in the Fort Point Channel during the day - architects, consultants and start ups people. You know, the inventive, trendy type.

Definitely check it out, worth a trip when you are in the Channel 'hood. Just don't be surprised at your bill.
