The Scene

Stylish and sexy, Noir is a vibrant nightspot that exudes a smoky 1940s atmosphere befitting its evocative name.
Once past the red beaded curtains, the clientele of swanky fashionistas and finance types slink into a dark and moody nook where businessmen lean against the curved white marble bar to eye the elegant model-types sipping cocktails with names like Scarlet Street and White Heat.
Black leather booths and candlelit tables provide a polished ambiance for the sophisticated groups who flock in to enjoy after-work sips or a lively night on the town.
Dramatic red lighting adds intrigue to the mix as flirty guests start small dance parties, cozy up in the corners, or – in the warmer months – wander out to the spacious patio to enjoy drinks and conversation under the stars.
Although a high-definition projector is on hand to show Boston sports and old movies, the venue’s Mad Men Sundays are better suited to its theme and clientele, with enthusiasts of the hit show packing in dressed to the nines in 1950s style.
Sleek and sultry, Noir provides a chill and chic night out for the fashionable set.
Tip from Adriana:
Noir has a really creative selection of signature drinks that play on the film noir genre. The most popular is the LA Confidential, a mix of Stoli peach, Cointreau, peach nectar, and champagne – though the Black Dahlia mix of 42 Below vodka, triple sec, pomegranate juice, blackberries, and lemon is a definite must!”
