Party Earth Review: Located on the fifty-second floor of the Back Bay Prudential Center, Top of the Hub lives up to its name by offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Boston skyline to its clientele of upscale young professionals, chic couples, and jet-setting tourists. A warm brown and cream décor is set off by expansive windows on all sides, giving the affluent guests plenty to look at from their perches in the elegant dining room, while more enthusiastic travelers and birthday groups pose for photos or point out the sites, from the Boston Common to the Charles River. Patrons waiting for a window table can pass the time with a cocktail at the bar, or head down to the Skywalk Observatory on the fiftieth floor for a different perspective. Live jazz in the lounge area keeps the vibe upbeat but low-key, though game nights do see an influx of Sox fans from nearby Fenway Park and late-night barhoppers looking for a nightcap. Top of the Hub provides one of the best views in Boston perfect for a special night out on the town to take in the twinkling lights of the city.

Top of the Hub Review

Tip from Adriana:

“Call ahead to reserve Table 18, a cozy corner spot with a view of the East and North sides of Boston. If you plan it right, you’ll be treated to an amazing sunset over the city.”
