NORTH END
North End’s narrow streets are home to some of Boston’s best bars and restaurants. Shaped by the Italian-Americans who populate the neighborhood, North End boasts a cluster of delis and trattorias that serve dishes and drinks that pay homage to the old country.
Bars are also more laidback than others around the city. Here, people spend their nights hanging out with friends over cocktails, beers, and ciders. Some local favorites include Farmacia, an intimate, 9-seat cocktail bar on North Square; the cozy dive bar along Prince Street called Corner Café; the Amaro or bittersweet Italian liqueur-serving Parla along Hanover Street; and the nearby cigar parlor and liquor lounge Stanza Dei Sigari.
THE THEATER DISTRICT
There’s more to Boston’s Theater District than the shows, plays, and musical performances it’s known for. The area is just as celebrated for its high-energy party scene. It’s everyone’s go-to for the mix of hip-hop, house, chart-toppers, and Latin hits that keep guests packing dance floors.
Those who live in the highly walkable Downtown area, where the Theater District is located, can just stroll to their club of choice. Top spots include the trendy and beloved mega-club Royale, the cosmopolitan hotspot Venu, the underground hangout place Tunnel, and state-of-the-art nightclub and events place Icon.
BOYLSTON STREET
Back Bay’s Boylston Street is the spot for a chill night out or a bit of bar hopping. Wine, local craft beer, and cocktails are the drinks of choice for unwinding after a long day at work or an inspiring heritage tour of the city.
Some of Back Bay’s famous nightlife establishments include the modern Irish Pub Sólás, the American bistro Back Bay Social, the bourbon club A.T. O’Keeffe’s, and Abe & Louie’s, a high-end steakhouse that represents luxury living in Boston with premium menu items that pair perfectly with their wines, cocktails, spirits, and more.
