Yvonne’s

Yvonne’s ranked 4th in the list of best cocktail bars in Boston. How to replace Locke-Ober, the revered downtown wood-paneled institution that hosted a million three-martini lunches? To begin, Yvonne's has preserved what is important: the 19th-century mahogany bar and the same clubby ambiance. But the new supper club, named after Locke Ober's former members-only club downstairs, has a decidedly modern vibe. Crispy tater cubes, chicken quinoa meatballs, baked oysters, and popcorn brulee are among the inventive small plates. Cocktails on a grander scale (i.e. scorpion bowl-sized) like the Moscow Mule are lovingly crafted and best enjoyed in the separate Library Bar, a tome-tiered respite that invites you to imbibe like a Brahmin.

The new Yvonne's space beneath the Library offers playful pop cultural references that comment on modern society, as well as a truly exclusive and intimate dining experience. Reservations for the Gallery, which has only seven tables, are extremely limited and only available by special request. The entrance is hidden behind a secret bookshelf at the back of the Library Lounge, away from Yvonne's boisterous main floor. Guests can enjoy Yvonne's award-winning menu and bar, including an exclusive selection of wine and champagne, downstairs among a small and intimate circle of VIP patrons.
