    I have to change my review from 5 stars to 3. This ain’t what it was pre-Covid. There has only been a couple of good bartenders post-Covid. Brad was good and another mid-aged woman bartender who were great.

    95% recommended ! Great bar tender. A lot of light for this cocktail bar but burger was good and great Manhattans! Ambiance on a Friday night was a little quiet.

    Rebecca & Steven held it DOWN tonight. There was an engagement party that clearly got out hand (more guests than was supposed to be there) & they kept their composure, smiled and cranked out drinks. As industry fellows ourselves, we know how challenging a Saturday night service can be. I had to endure a group of guests from the party moaning & groaning "Well I know the owner" because they had to wait more than 30 seconds for a cocktail prompted me to respond with "amazing, as do I....these guys are holding it down alone, so settle down." The look of shock was riveting. I hope these two are compensated well for the havoc the engagement party caused between dragging their 5 year old out to breaking glassware. Followed up by congregating by the bar and angrily staring because Rebecca was working on 4 other tickets simultaneously. Any other night I know they crush it, but tonight was a test of the ability to tolerate the average idiot & they exceeded expectations.

    The bartender here was racist. We saw him make a group of people pay after each drink and not allow a tab to be kept open. Blatant open racism. The drinks weren't that good either. Save your money for someplace worth it.

    If you want the best drinks in Boston look no further. This is an amazing bar with a better selection. If you are looking for something new and interesting try this place out. The food isn't half bad either doe nibbling and only big enough to share with 2 or 3 max. I would say to try the Milk Punch and all the drinks under the greens are amazing.

    Best bar in Boston. Clean and cozy. Ask for Brad - consumate mixologist. Come for the atmosphere. Stay for the drinks. Thanks mate.

  • 5/5 Shannon Landry D. 4 years ago on Google
    A little bit noisier than my eyes told me from pictures (I realize that's on me and ridiculous). But holy cow, cocktails. Our bar tenders were amazing and made some high quality cocktails that kept my group very happy for several hours. Classy joint, dark bathrooms, out of this world bar tenders, louder than ideal music, comfy bar chairs.

  • 4/5 Emerson W. 5 years ago on Google
    Expensive but quality drinks. They only have a small selection of appetizers to eat. The brussel sprouts and fondue is amazing.

  • 5/5 Isabell W. 5 years ago on Google
    Went here with 3 other friends and sat at the bar for drinks and had a fabulous experience! We all had 2 drinks each that were exceptionally made. Our bartender was so kind and even let us sample two different drinks to make sure we liked them before we ordered a full serving. I don’t remember the bartender’s name but he had long hair and was extremely kind!! This is a fabulous place if you’re looking to grab a few drinks but actually hold a conversation with friends as it isn’t too loud.

    Great place and really nice band and ambiance. Came highly recommended by Dr. Keith Miller - totally studly dude.

  • 3/5 Alex W. 5 years ago on Google
    They use bottom shelf Jim Beam for their Old Fashioned. Not impressed. At all. I love a good Old Fashioned and order them all the time. Doesn’t matter if it’s at a dive bar. For a fancy hotel bar to use bottom shelf tasteless whiskey is very embarrassing. Won’t be back.

    Creative drinks. Nice atmosphere. Awesome furniture.

  • 5/5 Joseph S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tina R. 11 months ago on Google
    Tucked away inside the hotel, very pretty on the inside and not usually too crowded

  • 5/5 Colin M. 9 months ago on Google
    Great cocktail bar. Excellent whiskey list with reasonable pricing.

  • 3/5 Jaye Aster B. 3 months ago on Google New
    This spot has a great ambience and large selections of drinks. The food menu looked good. We were disappointed that the bar had no non-alcoholic cocktail options on their menu but appreciated rhetorical bar tenders creative abilities. Most people found the cocktails just average. Quite a few are pre-batched and so the citrus wasn’t as bright for some cocktails. The egg white on the AKA sour was well shaken. I would go back for vibes/dinner or maybe a beer but would not go back for cocktails. I’d recommend this spot for larger groups.

    Beautiful yet chill bar. Very friendly service, great drinks and food, and casual live music.

  • 5/5 Natassha Deepest L. 5 years ago on Google
    Not alot of options in the food section but major leagues in the drinks section. I and my honey had a really good time regardless. Lastnight it was a very smooth upbeat trendy high end with quality staff along with quality service. Definitely will return.

    Best cocktails around! The space is so luxe - ambient lighting, plush furniture, crystal glassware... a truly upscale experience. They have seasonal cocktails (as well as year-round), an extensive wine & liquor list, and food/snacks. It's the perfect place to relax with a cocktail and friends or a date. They also have spirit-free cocktail options which came in handy for my pregnant friend. I bring all my out-of-town guests here. We had a hard time finding it the first time - the doors to enter are right on Tremont street. Highly recommend!

    Awesome place great atmosphere can’t wait to go back.

  • 1/5 Katie P. 5 years ago on Google
    Waitress had an attitude for absolutely no reason. Only had one bad experience, but this place had terrible vibes overall. Never going back.

  • 3/5 Adam T. 5 years ago on Google
    Inventive cocktails, but some of them should have gone uninvented.
