What People Are Saying About City Bar

The Scene – When is a hotel bar not a hotel bar? When non-guests commonly outnumber guests and there isn't a TV in sight. City-Bar is a dependable date spot for those who enjoy seeing and being seen while dropping serious bucks on serious drinks. When crowded, the small room radiates a carnal vibe, with well-dressed locals exchanging glances while sipping on inventive martinis and infused liquors. The staff, attractive enough to sometimes distract from the proceedings, retrieve drinks from the softly illuminated bar, all while curious onlookers stop in their tracks in the hotel lobby,…

The King of all Lounges
by shape816
City Bar is the perfect lounge. Relaxing atmosphere, eclectic, mature crowd, cool music (not too loud), and the best attribute of this bar is the AMAZING drinks. Whether it's a simple gimlet made with fresh lime juice and simple syrup (my favorite) or their specialty martinis and cocktails, everything they mix is sensational and perfectly balanced. Nothing pretentious about this place either - just a great night out...
- Pros: Incredible cocktails, fantastic atmosphere
- Cons: Absolutely nothing.

Awesome Pear Martinis!!
by DirtyMartiniGirl
My friends and I went here on a Saturday Night and had the best time! It was exactly what we were looking for. A trendy and upscale lounge with great martinis and a hot bartender!! Small, but not too crowded. A more mature crowd. Great place to meet people. The Pear Martini is a must-have! Perfect for getting dressed up and having a Girls Night Out!! We will definately be back!
- Pros: awesome martinis and atmosphere
- Cons: on the smaller side, no dancing
The Details on City Bar
Look Good:
Most patrons dress in black to match the swank interior (some tables are covered in black leather). Dress to impress or you may feel out of place.
Parking:
If you're lucky enough to snag a meter on Boylston Street, be aware that meter maids patrol the street until 8pm (except Sundays). On busy nights, it's wiser to take the Green Line to the nearby Copley stop.
