Family owned and operated, T & M Billiards and Barstools has been in business for more than 60 years. It sells billards, kitchen counter stools and bar room furniture. Ping pong, air hockey, foos ball, darts, jukeboxes and arcade games are available. It also moves, repairs and replaces felt on pool tables. A large showroom displays the items and allows customers to try them out.
In early 2010, cocktail enthusiast and Boston Shaker owner Adam Lantheaume opened up shop in Davis Square. He stocks his cocktail supply store like he makes his drinks—with well-crafted and imaginative products. Whether you're in the market for some basic bar supplies, antique serving ware or the final rare ingredient for that perfect cocktail, you're in the right place. Unique to the store are the handmade Packard Bag for crushing ice, and the artisan-made Pug' Muddler. The well-informed staff is welcoming to all levels of mixologists.
If Lantheaume were to create a Somerville cocktail it would be a mix of old and new, he says. "It would be a modern variation of a classic-- equal parts of a strong brown spirit, like a whiskey, with a little rum--because Medford was one of the rum capitols of the U.S. in the 1700s."
