The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Commonwealth

"The Island Creek Oyster Bar, an upscale seafood restaurant that doesn't hide its fish shack roots, is already winning high praise from diners and the national press alike"

"The hotel’s Eastern Standard Kitchen & Drinks is one of the neighborhood’s most acclaimed eateries (and on weekend nights, one of its busiest lounge scenes); it offers a mix of European and New England favorites, including mussels and frog’s leg ragout"

"And the Hawthorne is one of the country's most decorated cocktail lounges, known for its acclaimed mixologists"

"The lauded Radius Group runs the adjoining seafood restaurant and bar, Great Bay, while room service comes courtesy of Eastern Standard, a hip adjacent brasserie that's made waves on the city's dining scene"

"A choice of French-style brasserie or New England seafood at the hip Island Creek Oyster Bar attracts a steady stream of locals as well as hotel guests"

"While it lacks a pool and dedicated spa, numerous other features -- including a chic cocktail lounge, two upscale restaurants, extensive event space, and themed signature suites -- set the property apart from the city’s many upscale hotels"

"The Foundation Lounge is a popular drinking spot"

"Hawthorne holds classic elegance, and bartenders here are referred to as mixologists"
