    9 Lansdowne St, Boston, MA 2115 (map)

    Outfitted like a classically Victorian, vaguely Irish pub, the enormous Lansdowne covers many bases, with European soccer and other sporting events aired on the large central screen and live music on weekends.

    51 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    This sensual, intimately cozy 40-seater in the renovated Copley Square Hotel is a perfect stopover for clinking cocktail or wine glasses.

    100 Stuart St, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    Hotel guests, residents and Boston locals alike can lounge in the bar lodged in the W Boston's lobby (referred to as a living room), with the space anchored by plush seating, a modern fireplace and a sleek sculptural waterfalls.

  4. 4 The Reagle Beagle

    308 Harvard St, Brookline, MA 02446 (map)

    From the kids who brought you Church Restaurant & NIghtclub, the Reagle Beagle soups up a lovely-though-early-to-bed Coolidge Corner neighborhood with a killer drink list (including the "Old Landlord," a twist on an Old-Fashioned) and lunch, dinner & brunch--yes, those certainly are crab rangoon empanadas.

Bars We're Waiting For

  1. 5 Lord Hobo
    Write a review

    92 Hampshire St, Cambridge, MA 02139 (map)

    Filling the large, beloved shoes of the late B-Side Lounge, Lord Hobo attempts to woo the neighbors and the tipple trendsetters alike with an extensive list of wine, beer and kookily named cocktails, plus a rib-sticking British-inspired gastropub menu.
