Boston’s Back Bay is filled with old-world charm and young professionals flocking to fill the neighborhood’s Victorian-era brownstones. It’s also a great place to head for liquor libations at some classy cocktail haunts, particularly a couple spots located within the area’s fine hotels.
At minibar (yes…lower-case “m”) in the Copley Square Hotel, bartenders serve up mixed drinks amidst a comfortable array of couches, booths, benches, and chairs all begging to be piled high with lovely ladies and good-looking lads in search of chatty conversation and fancy concoctions. The space is so plush, it’s even been used as the backdrop for scenes in a number of major motion pictures.
Another popular Back Bay cocktail bar is City Bar in the Lenox Hotel. A one-room refuge that draws a clientele of attractive business and finance types, designers, and the media elite, the intimate venue is a hotspot for professionals looking to relax after a long workday.
To sip in style among Boston's best-dressed and most well-connected citizens, cocktail bars in Back Bay are a prime destination for drinking denizens.
