Message from Oak Bar

Large martini menu with classic favorites and contemporary mixes
  • Awarded best hotel bar
  • Upscale martini offerings
  • Entertainment Tue-Sat

The restored Oak Bar is reminiscent of a British Officer's Club in the Orient. The same dark wood paneling and mirrors that flank the Oak Room are offset in the Oak Bar by smooth marble. Heraldry symbols decorate the ornately gilded and painted coffered ceiling. The furniture and decor create an inviting atmosphere to enjoy a relaxing drink or close a business deal. The Oak Bar was named the best hotel bar by Boston Magazine.

Good location, pricey drinks  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Met up with friends here for my birthday and it was pretty much what we expected. Nice atmosphere - older crowd - great live music - overly priced beverages. As long as you know what you're in for, you'll have a good night here.

Classy.  5 Star Rating - World class

This place exemplifies class. the chairs are extremely nice and plush. You can definitely bring a date here and have a nice martini. Note, the prices are extremely expensive, but you are paying for the experience

Classiest Bar in Boston 5 Star Rating - World class

When you walk into the Oak Room, you feel like you've walked into the 40's. It's a total throwbsck with the wood paneled walls, ceiling fans, and waiters in vests. It's always fun to take someone who has never been. And while the martinis are expensive ($17), the decanter they give you has enough for two drinks. It's a great place to go to feel like a high roller, even if you're not.
