"Set in the ornate Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel, this gorgeous bar is a lesson in Renaissance Revival architecture. Its petite seasonal patio overlooking Copley Square is prime for people watching and wine drinking during summertime. The bar is open from 7 a.m. to midnight, so you can start your day with a “virtuous green juice” and end it with a glass of Harken Chardonnay. Bonus: the patio is canine-friendly." - Molly McDonough
"Oak Long Bar + Kitchen will offer the following marathon specials for six days, starting Wednesday, April 16th, through Marathon Monday—including a carbo-loading pasta dish baked in the dining room’s showpiece hearth oven, and a cocktail featuring the official beer sponsor of the Boston Marathon: Samuel Adams 26.2 Brew. The restaurant is located inside Fairmont Copley Plaza, the headquarters for the Boston Athletic Association’s operations and home to the Professional Athlete field and their families leading up to the race. OAK Long Bar + Kitchen is at the heart of marathon excitement … guests might just spot a famous runner or two!" - Erika Adams
"This jazz age era bar and restaurant is one of the best places in the Hub to grab a really great cocktail, along with seafood bites like monkfish fritters and local oysters. If you get there at an off hour, grab one of the double bar seats with your person for a romantic throwback date." - Tanya Edwards
"The sophisticated spot inside the historic Fairmont Hotel will be serving a few special Christmas menu items from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Christmas Day. For a hearty classic, try the spiced Vermont maple glazed ham, served with a decadent duck fat biscuit, along with lyonnaise potatoes, citrus herbed creme fraiche, and cranberry and walnut roasted brussels sprouts. The restaurant’s regular menus will also be available, and a charitable cocktail, The Wishmaker (Beefeater gin, homemade cranberry syrup, lemon juice, ginger beer 19) will see $1 per order donated to Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Find table reservations here, or you can try to grab a walk-in at the bar." - Tanya Edwards
"Oak Long Bar + Kitchen, located inside the Fairmont Hotel across from Copley Plaza, will be serving its regular menu plus a couple of specials on the holiday: an Amish turkey roulade with braised greens, cranberry sauce, Robuchon potatoes and gravy, and stuffed delicata squash; a sweet potato mousse for dessert with Vermont maple syrup streusel and torched meringue; and a bar-only special of turkey and waffles. Oh, and there’s a Thanksgiving-themed cocktail involving vodka, pumpkin purée, and maple syrup. Find table reservations here, and the bar will be walk-in only throughout the day." - Erika Adams
