Boston has a well-known reputation for its blue-collar roots and a drinking and partying culture surrounding sports bars, Irish pubs, and of course great beer. But like other major cities, the lounges in Boston bring a more refined quality to the nightlife but don’t necessarily preclude the budget-friendly set from enjoying them as well.
Boston lounges can be found all over town as students flock to the multiple options in Cambridge and Somerville, the upper crust of Boston society hit up hotspots in Beacon Hill, Leather District, and Downtown, and young professionals find great lounges in the Back Bay and Fenway.
Lounges in Boston make for great date spots, cool locations for hanging with groups of friends, and some of the best hangouts for artisanal cocktails, but there’s also some incredible live music that can be found at cool and intimate lounges throughout the city.
Whether for a hot date, a relaxing weekend night with friends, or a nicer place to chill out and listen to some music, Boston has a wide array of lounges that suits all types, any day of the week.
