Karen Read isn’t letting courtroom drama kill her vibe — she was spotted in full-on chill mode at a Boston hotspot right after a long day in court.

TMZ got the scoop: Read hit up SAVR, a trendy bistro in Boston’s Seaport District, where she kicked back with her defense crew — including big-time attorney Alan Jackson — and local radio host Greg Hill.

The courtroom tension? Nowhere in sight.

Instead, Read looked relaxed and even a little giddy, enjoying a couple of espresso martinis (because who doesn’t need caffeine and alcohol after legal drama?), chatting with diners, and snapping selfies with supporters.

It’s a vibe — and one that’s making waves, considering she’s deep in round two of a high-profile trial tied to the death of Boston cop John O’Keefe.

But if you thought she’d be laying low? Think again.

She was laughing, socializing, and honestly seemed like someone not carrying the weight of a potential conviction.

TMZ’s lens didn’t miss a beat. The woman looked confident, even defiant — possibly fueled by the buzz (from the espresso or the public support, you decide).

Let’s not forget: her first trial ended in a mistrial. Now, she’s back in court facing serious charges, including second-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter. But outside those courtroom walls, she’s making sure to keep her cool and maybe even enjoy the little things — like martinis and good company.

Whatever you think of the case, there’s no denying Karen Read is owning her public image, one post-court espresso martini at a time.
