Bars in Beacon Hill Overview

With waterfront views and gaslit, cobblestone sidewalks, Beacon Hill is an upscale neighborhood that is home to elite folks who don’t balk at high prices. But even within this expensive enclave there exists Beacon Hill bars that still maintain the weathered looks of old-timey Boston hangouts.

The 21st Amendment and The Sevens Ale House both boast similar pub elements – dark wood paneling, low ceilings, wooden furniture, and plenty of draft beers on tap. These haunts attract young professionals who work in the nearby high-rises and political types with offices up on the hill.

For a less-typical bar in Beacon Hill, denizens head to Alibi. Located on the first floor of the recently-converted Liberty Hotel, the space was once the Charles Street Jail. But instead of criminals, this sexy saloon caters to the city’s upper crust – like big-name politicians and Hollywood actors on location – who sip on costly cocktails with pithy names like Gin Jam and Cool Hand Cuke. There's also a large outdoor patio that gets packed in the summer.
