Citysearch Editorial Review. This hotel restaurant is the textbook definition of “schadenfreude chic”--a conclusion you'll likely come to while reclining in luxurious comfort amidst iron bars from the original cells in this former jail in tony Beacon Hill. Luckily, the food (served on beautiful linens and china) is good enough to make you forget the darker side of this property. Clink’s executive chef Joseph Margate lets seasonal flavors of his local, organic and artisanal purveyors shine: Eva’s greens, Island Creek Oysters, Berkshire pork, heirloom beans, Cape Ann seafood and Fra’mani Salami--they’re all here. Beautiful guests, inventive cocktails and great food will have you tearing up your get-out-of-jail-free card in no time.

Great Wine Bar. The wine selection @ Clink is much better than Alibi's... so I usually sneak upstairs to Clink and get my drink there to bring downstairs. Should I not have done that? ;) I've had some espresso martinis here as well and they make em the way I like em: without Bailey's. There isn't such a long line to get to the bar as it's super long and open and there's tons of space as it's pretty much a huge balcony that wraps around the Liberty. Swankalicious.

Disappointing!. Disappointing is the only word to describe my experience at Clink. The drinks are good but over priced, the food is the worst I have ever experienced.

All Blo and Little Go. Had high expectations but was very disappointed.... beginning with the arrogant hostess. Food was pricey and the menu was trying to appear overly sophisticated. The waiter was efficient and attentive though. Would not recommend or return to this restaurant..

Great Service, Great Spot. I've been to Clink now 5 times for dinner with large parties. I'm going back again this weekend with a large party. For me, consistency is key...and Clink has been amazingly consistent. Drinks cold and good...dinner perfect and the service has been great...from the fresh faced cutie at the Hostess Desk to the Server...good all around. The only thing that is not my cup of tea is the location of the Ladies Room...(which is a football field away) and the fact that between Alibi (the downstairs bar) and The Liberty Hotel Lobby...there seems to be a bit of a 'meat head' scene later in the evening...and it's not attractive. Otherwise Clink itself...great spot!
