"Long Bar on the 17th floor of the Raffles in Back Bay has set a new standard for the hotel bar, with great food and ample people-watching. Folks come here dressed up, fresh off seeing The Cher Show at the nearby Wang Theatre, and keep the night going until suddenly it’s last call and they’re singing “If I Could Turn Back Time” with whoever they met at the bar. For us, it’s a bougie guilty pleasure where we can eat razor clams conservas, sip a potent Boston sling, and devour a burger topped with a bloomy young harbison cheese and pepper jam that hits all those sweet, spicy, umami notes. We can’t wait until it warms up to check out the outdoor patio situation." - tanya edwards
