This innovative lounge doesn’t have much of a menu. Instead, you’re asked to pick your favorite base flavor - whether it be grapefruit, ginger, or scotch - and let the expert mixologists create a custom spirit just for you. A capacity of only a few dozen people, pleasing appetizers, and warm brick walls with low lighting lends Drink a notable exclusivity.

Nestled in the Four Seasons, the Bristol Lounge offers views of Boston Public Garden through their stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. Leather couches and their fireplace provide a cozy experience for all. The Bristol Lounge is also noted for their impeccable service and presentation. Their Strawberry Blossom Martini is the perfect nod to spring.

The Fairmont Copley's recently restored sister lounge of The Oak Room, The Oak Bar, has British-influenced décor that includes rich, dark wood, mirrors, marble, and a gilded and painted coffered ceiling.

In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, try their Pot of Gold Martini: two parts Jameson, two parts ginger ale, 1/2 part peach schnapps, a splash of OJ and a lime for garnish.
