CLINK. and The Liberty Bar

Absolutely delicious. We got the cheese plate followed by short ribs. Both were delectable. The drinks were also excellent. Great atmosphere. I will definitely plan on dining there again!

Just stopped here for a drink. Such a cool place. An old prison turned into a dynamic place to hang out. Didn't get any food here, so I can't comment about that. Great cocktails and wine list. Even had one of my favorites, Sojourn Cellars Pinot Noir 😊🍷

Overall, I had a good meal here. It’s pretty expensive because it’s at a hotel but the quality of the food is 4/5. The ambience is cool because the hotel used to be a jail. I ordered the smoked salmon, which was excellent! They definitely did not skimp out. We did not love the French toast, however. I’d give a 3.5 if I could—I probably won’t come back, but it’s a classic hotel breakfast.

Clink is an upscale bar and restaurant located on the second floor of “The Liberty Hotel”. The hotel is a former jail and they incorporate many of those former elements into the design and architecture. We decided to stop by Clink’s Liberty Bar for some drinks and charcuterie. We chose to be seated out in the main “lounge” area, near the front desk. Our server was incredibly kind but it was clear, he was the only man running around getting people taken care of. The service could be heavily improved. Our server isn’t at fault for a lack of proper staffing by management. We decided to order a few specialty cocktails. Unfortunately, we were told a 4-Diamond hotel was out of all those ingredients to make said drinks. I was totally astonished and expect more for the price. If you have craft cocktails on the menu, have what is needed to concoct the drinks! We settled on the Red Sangria over one of the specialty cocktails. Their “Liberty Bar” menu is huge and there is something for every taste. They have a vast selection of appetizers, seafood, local artisan cheese pizzas, sandwiches, tacos, dumplings, and dessert. We ordered the “Chef’s Tasting Board”. The board was filled with Italian cured meats, sausages, crackers, crisps, and multiple artisan cheeses. There wasn’t an item on the board that we did not enjoy. It was phenomenal and a solid portion for the money. Plenty for two to share! Lastly, we decided to order the Sautéed PEI Mussels. The Mussels are sautéed in a tomato-saffron broth with Portuguese-Chorizo, Herb Butter, Fennel, and Wine. It is served with Toast/Crostini. The mussels were very clean and VERY large. They were some of the best I’ve had in the area! The portion was size-able, plenty for two to share. Service could certainly be improved. Our server was phenomenal, despite doing everyone’s job. He was literally the only server available on the floor. That naturally led to lengthy wait times. I would strongly advise booking reservations, as the main restaurant and bar is typically packed. They offer multiple menus as well for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, Dessert, & The Liberty Bar Menu. Atmosphere is upscale and classy. I’d leave the kids at home, it isn’t really a venue or destination cut out for children. I’d highly recommend The Liberty Bar/Clink. However, there needs to be a major overhaul in terms of service. Furthermore, the person responsible for procurement should never let a bar run out of ingredients needed to make many of their drinks.

Saddened by the lack of flavor. The oysters were the favorite, but the Cioppino was terrible. Thick, flavorless, and tough, served over rice like a gumbo. Drinks were overpoured and unbalanced in flavor. The strawberry dusted goat cheese was incredibly tart. We were advised it was rolled into a log, but it was served as balls. We planned it a week in advance at the recommendation of its history and ambiance.

Great vibe. This unique restaurant served us not only a delicious meal but also a good time. You can't go wrong if you ordered anything. Although cream brulee was too sweet for me.

Who doesn’t wanna visit a restaurant located in a jail turned hotel? This restaurant is located in the 2nd floor of liberty hotel . When we went there, we were able to experience the live band and rub shoulders with the upper echelons in suits. The service here was fast and pleasant, our server had such a great energy I thought he had just found Jesus. The bread was fresh out of the oven, it was so soft and chewy inside and crispy outside. The appetizer we got was tuna tartare $29 with prawn chips. It was so fresh, seasoned in the sour citrusy ponzu sauce, sitting on a bed of avocado. The blood orange glazed duck $44 had a good amount of duck leg, the orange and foie gras sauce gave it an umami flavor. The skin could be crispier though. The sauce was not seasoned well, some parts were more salty than others. The bolognese $38 was wayyy too salty, omg, even the burrata could not save how botched this dish was.

The wait to be seated was prompt, ordering was smooth and breakfast was delivered quickly. The food was amazing! I highly recommend you dine here it was yummy! Pricing is high however the quality and amount of food received is worth it.

It's been a while since I came here with a bunch of girlfriends like 10 years ago. But it's nice to know that there's a lively social scene at the bar in the lobby with a DJ playing on a Friday night for free. We had some really good food to Nosh on and a good glass of wine and I highly recommend that if you want to come out with a bunch of girlfriends and just powered up be social and dance come here did you know that this was a jail before? A lot of young people and groups of people, company parties, etc. Classy joint.

This is a wonderful spot to meet friends for drinks. It's chic, comfortable and their staff is great.

Beautiful, multi level bar in the Liberty Hotel. Loved everything about this place. Came on a Saturday night and it was the perfect amount of busy. Plenty of seating on all the floors. There was a DJ playing in the main area then on the first floor there's a separate bar called Alibi with another DJ. Plus it's an old jail so has some history! 10/10 recommend.

Came here for a happy hour last week and enjoyed the ambiance and history of the Liberty hotel having been a converted jail! The drink was spot on -- loved the passion fruit flavor of the Crime of Passion, and their sweet potato fries were fresh and tasty! The only downside is that drinks are pretty expensive--their cocktails are $21 and an old fashioned is $23. If you don't mind the prices, it's a nice place to grab a drink and a snack!

Anyone who knows me, understands my love for the Liberty Hotel in Boston. I have reviewed the hotel itself and its restaurants already. I realized yesterday that the Lobby Bar is a separate entity within the hotel and since my husband and I were there yesterday, I decided it deserved its own review. My love of the Liberty Hotel itself comes from its gorgeous architecture. This building once housed a jail which was completed in 1851by architect Gridley James Fox (a highly respected architect in his time, and Reverend Louis Dwight who was a prominent Yale-educated penologist who had an interest in and advocacy for prison reform. I remember when this place was still being used as a prison and recall walking past it seeing men looking out of barred windows at the pedestrians down below...it was always a sobering sight. After the jail was closed due to poor conditions for the inmates, it was turned into this stunning hotel which advantageously and respectfully incorporates the 19th century granite style and many of the notable architectural features into the final design. If you've not seen this building, it's worth taking a peek at the Liberty Hotel website to get a look. When you first walk in you go up an escalator and the view that awaits you is simply grand with soaring ceilings and your first glimpses of the incredible architecture. At the top of the escalator you are now in a large and lovely lobby area and to your right is the Lobby Bar, open to the entire lobby. In the evening, the lobby and this bar are often hopping. The hotel hosts musical events, fashion shows and other kinds of celebratory events that the public can attend (usually for a fee). But during the afternoons and early evenings, the bar is for anyone wanting a drink. You can also get a bite to eat from the menu of one of the hotel restaurants located next to the bar. Yesterday, my husband and I stopped in while we were in the city and spent a lovely hour talking to each other as well as with the charming bartender, Nick. It was a lovely respite for us. It was early enough that it wasn't crowded. To sit in the loveliness that is this particular hotel while enjoying a nicely made drink, is a simple pleasure. If you're in Boston, I do recommend staying at this hotel but regardless, do stop in for a look if not a nicely made cocktail at the Lobby Bar.

The upside down Christmas trees are cool, yes. But is a bud light worth $9 and does an old fashioned realllly need to be $23? Seems a little aggressive for a hotel bar. I get it... the vibe! Only hotel guests are allowed on the catwalk but outsiders can drink and dine on the overpriced selection at the main bar and a few other restaurants on site.

Five stars on Yelp indicates a rating of "great" and I give that to the Liberty Bar because of the people who work there. I often stop at the bar to wait for medical appointments next door or for a snack after my appointments. The bartenders are always extremely hospitable. Nick, Colin and Justin and the rest of the crew always go out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome even though I am not running up a huge bill. Both E.J. and Dave were also outstanding and although I met Chelsea only once, she did an excellent job. The hotel is lucky to have these people on their payroll representing it to the public in a city with so many nice places to go. It is a it pricey and I think there should be more variety on the menu.

I'll be honest with you: If I wasn't waiting for a Meetup group, I would have left as soon as I saw the prices. 20 bucks for a drink seems excessive even for New York or Vegas, let alone Boston. Still, I bit the bullet and order myself a PPP (Pink Peppercorn Paloma). This drink is awesome! It had some spicy notes from the peppercorn, little bit of sweetness, a little bit a tartness. All around wonderful and not something I could make myself. I also like that it was pretty strong while still remaining somewhat refreshing. The service was fast and friendly. The location is pretty cool for lounging and meeting up with groups in a large and open setting. While there are certainly cheaper options out there, it is not a bad place to meet with people for a drink or two if you are staying at the Liberty Hotel, or planning to go to another place inside the hotel later (Clink, Alibi, etc.).

I came here for a drink on a Friday evening before going out to have dinner. I sat outside patio at their bar area. I had a martini that was delicious. The service was good.

Cute little hotel bar. Great drinks and awesome apps. Definitely check it out if you want to unwind or grab a night cap!

This is my favorite hotel and bar in Boston. I have to come for work, but the liberty makes it worth the trip.

This place is pretty cool. A little quiet due to the chilly, cold, wet weather that Boston is presenting to us now. Otherwise, good music, good apps and good drinks.

Great (higher end) place for a Cocktail. If you like history, you'll like it even more!! If you are going for a business meeting or something like that go earlier as it's gets louder as the clock ticks later in the evening.

Went to the Liberty Bar at the Liberty Hotel and was served by Chelsea, a great bartender. Couldn't have had a better time. My wife just had a baby and she was super attentive and made great drinks while I was waiting for to go food. Thanks Chelsea, signed Everett.

The liberty was a referral by my friend and it was the best thing! I was visiting Boston for the weekend with group of friends and we all had great time! Tho, felt like drinks weren't strong enough lol but over all fun times! Nothing like NYC/NJ bars and club but we all had great time at the liberty! The down part was the closing time! I'll recommend this to y'all when you're in Boston!

Absolutely love this bar!!! The drinks are spot on perfect! They make THE best French 75 I've ever had. The other cocktails are also super creative. The ambiance is great and the waitresses are always attentive. There are usually open tables and different levels of sitting areas to chose from.

This place is a small bar in the Liberty Hotel, they make multiple specialty drinks that change seasonally

Stayed at the Liberty Hotel over this year's Boston marathon. As you may or may not remember, it was a cold, windy, day for the marathon. We attempted to go to the finish line to see the runners, but turned back and went to the hotel. We sat at the Liberty Bar, had lunch and watched the marathon while having a delightful Bloody Mary. The sandwich was delicious and the bartender was friendly and attentive. Relaxing atmosphere as well. Oh, we also had one of the best cosmos I have ever had. Would highly recommend.

Had 3 drinks before we got there. Assumed my friend was wasted and did not allow us in. Ridiculous.
