Sophisticated Food and Drink

  • Tapas Style Plates
  • Extensive Wine List
  • Set in an old jail cell

Set on the lobby level of The Liberty Hotel, a national historic landmark that was once the Charles Street Jail, CLINK. offers urban dwellers & hotel guests a menu of tapas-style small plates, tasting pours of wine & exotic cocktails. The concept aims to create an energetic, social environment where dining & meeting for drinks occurs throughout the space ? an adaptable place where dinner at the bar or just cocktails at a table is the norm.

Sexy, hip & lively, CLINK. offers patrons the option of sophisticated food & drink in either the 72-seat restaurant or the 30-seat bar, which was designed by Alexandra Champalimaud & Associates, Inc. of NY. The décor is modern with a color palette of curry, sunburst & moss. Vestiges of the original jail cell doors provide a nod to the past while a dramatic open kitchen & butcher block tables & bar provide an inviting setting for socializing.

Editorial Review for Clink – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Clink's playful menu of tapas-style small plates includes intricate fare like truffled caramel popcorn with smoked sea salt, fried green tomatoes with minted watermelon salad, and espresso-glazed short ribs. The dining room, full of exposed brick and cell bars (this used to be the Charles Street Jail), attracts a mix of hotel guests and the local see-and-be-seen crowd. Diners look up from their butcher block tables to gaze into an open kitchen, while those waiting for a table spill out into the hotel's atrium to sip on pricey cocktails.

I went to the Liberty Hotel on a Friday night to go to Clink for drinks. Upon arrival there was a line at the door to get in; there are two lines at the door which are not labeled. One line is for Alibi and the other for Clink, so make sure you know what you are standing in line for. After about a 45 min wait we were able to get our 8 person party upstairs to Clink. There was plenty of room in the lobby which makes me think the line was just for show. We were able to get a sofa with a couple tables which had a server. Cocktails were around 14 dollars, the atmosphere was great. A good place to chat with friends as it was never too loud. Seemed like a good date spot as well as a place to find cougars.

Pros: great ambience, not too loud

Cons: line system

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I recently went to Clink with some friends from out of town. I thought it may be impressive if I brought them to some place nice. They were more than impressed with not only clink but the entire liberty hotel. They actually wished they had stayed there, and they will stay there next time. We all thought the decor was great and the service went above and beyond. There were a few clitches in the night but thats expected with a newer restaurant. If you're looking for a great night out or you want to impress out of towners this is the place.

Pros: atmosphere, service

Cons: nothing
