If you haven’t yet checked out The Oak Bar, which has won accolades for being “The Best Hotel Bar” in the city, a step inside and you will quickly know how it achieved this award. The bar exudes not only classic sophistication, but also old world elegance reminiscent of a British Officer’s Club in the Orient. Located in the Grand Dame of all hotels, the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, the bar has become well known to locals and visitors alike for serving up the best classic gin martini in town. The Oak Bar, aptly named for its dark wood paneling, is adjacent to the neighboring Oak Room restaurant, best known for its prime steaks and seafood. The bar offers the complete Oak Room menu and its very own raw bar. Live entertainment is available Wednesday through Saturday nights starting at 8:15 p.m.

Insider’s Tip: Don’t miss the most expensive martini in town priced at a mere $12,500, which comes complete with a one-carat engagement ring, steak dinner for two, and a night in one of the Fairmont Copley Plaza’s suites.
