Boston’s 10 best after-work drink spots
Boston Offices is located in the heart of the city, meaning endless options for food and drink spots. However, too many options can result in rushed and regretful decisions. To avoid this, we have compiled a list of our favorite spots surrounding our Coworking Space for you to enjoy an after-work drink. Now, getting happy hour drinks in Boston has never been easier!
Roxanne’s – 6B Beacon St, Boston, MA 02108
Roxanne’s is a chic cocktail bar located on Beacon Street, just around the corner from our One Boston Place location. Our favorite thing about Roxanne’s is the funky palm-beach inspired decor that adds to the already fun and energetic ambiance that can be felt as soon as you walk through the front door. With palm tree and pink-flamingo adorned walls and marble-top tables, Roxanne’s is certainly one of Downtown’s most Instagram-friendly bars. Its vibrant atmosphere and $10 cocktail menu make Roxanne’s one of Boston’s 10 best after work drink spots. We recommend that you try “The Pink Flamingo”, a delicious cocktail made up of vodka, coconut milk, house made strawberry cordial and pink bubbles.
Sterlings – 60 State St, Boston, MA 02109
Sterling’s is Boston Offices’ favorite choice for the ‘above the action’ feel at Faneuil Hall and nestled in the heart of Boston’s bustling Financial District. Sterling’s is a chic and spacious venue that’s a combination upscale lounge, vintage bar and intimate dining spot. The patio outside features live music and a 360-degree bar that attracts a combination of tourists in flip-flops and T-shirts, well-heeled businessmen and women, and downtown revelers looking for an after-work drink or a night on the town. Sterling’s is the spot for your next downtown event or outing!
The Carrie Nation – 11 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02108
A swanky 1920s-inspired setting, including a separate lounge, for upscale New England fare & drinks. Carrie Nation’s signature cocktails are categorized as “Cops & Robbers,” “Drys & Wets,” “Politicians & Power,” and so on. The Beacon Room overlooks the historic Beacon Street, across from the Boston Athenaeum. Perfect for after-work drinks.
The Black Rose – 160 State St, Boston, MA 02109
This tavern styled upscale pub is one of the older Irish pubs in the area.

Once the live music kicks off you’ll forget all about those midweek blues.
