This past Saturday, I met up with a friend for drinks to celebrate her brand new apartment. We decided to meet at City Bar, a small, cozy lounge inside the center of the Lenox Hotel. Although I was there to catch up with a friend, the dark, soft-lit interior also makes for an ideal date spot.
SavvyTip: With its proximity to MiniBar, Saint, and Vox, CityBar is a great spot to start your night. To avoid wasting valuable time in line, arrive well before 10:00 p.m. Celebrate your savvy-ness by indulging in one of their delicious specialty cocktails – I personally love their champagne drinks.
After City Bar, we took a short walk down Boylston Street to Vox. In contrast to City Bar, Vox is a much larger space spread out across two floors, and gets very packed on the weekends. It’s not a lounge bar, or a place for dancing, but it attracts a lot of young professionals, many of which are looking to socialize. I can’t say that I’ve ever met the man of my dreams there, but my friends and I always have a fun time.
Savvy Tip: While the drink menu at Vox features a lot of tasty specialty martinis, I don’t recommend ordering one when the bar is crammed to capacity. You will inevitably get bumped, causing your drink to slosh around precariously. Nobody likes getting a drink spilled on them! Try to snag a table with a cocktail server if you’re craving a martini later in the evening.
