OAK Long Bar & Kitchen

Maintaining touches of the past, Oak Long Bar & Kitchen has added a modern twist to the decor. An open kitchen sits behind the bar enticing barside drinkers to order up from the menu that provides diners with American cuisine options ranging from simple snacks and sandwiches to full meals. The bar scene is also lively and filled with a more mature crowd than you'll find at Boston clubs. Social and energetic, you'll find your fair share of locals looking to meet someone new.

As the name suggests, the enormous bar is the focal point of this restaurant located in Fairmont Copley Plaza Boston. The cocktail menu is split between original creations and twists on classics. For instance, the Bee’s Knees, a cocktail familiar even to novice drinkers, arrives in a bear-shaped glass with a honey dipper stuck to its rim. The serious martini, pricey but worth it, is served tableside with its carafe and four kinds of stuffed olives. Food-wise, start with something from the small-plates menu that features shareable dishes like chopped shrimp cocktail and sea scallop crudo before moving on to flatbreads, charcuterie, and cheese.
