Ok, yeah, the sidecar was a bit fruity -- but I still enjoyed it. And whether or not historically, when serving drinks, it is customary to always serve the lady first is still up to debate until Miss Manners chimes in on the subject. Point is, this place oozes class. For some reason I find a great thrill in being served warm mixed nuts with my beverage by a guy who's been doing it for 30+ years. A nice selection of drinks here, and they pour them right -- if not in the right order. There's a sense of well being that overcomes you when sitting in a nice chair with a well aged scotch, watching the city night's wheels go 'round and 'round through a big curtained window. My one drawback for this place is the fact that the bathroom is located about thirty paces down through the lobby, up a nondescript flight of stairs and over on your right. But at least, being in a hotel, you know the bathroom's well kept. I'll be coming back here. read more

The bar was classy in a way that you can imagine what it looked like in 1967. The bartender said he had been bar tending there for 35 years! The crowd was older, but friendly. I really enjoyed my drink before dinner and even came back after dinner to explore their extremely extensive scotch list. The house beer was tasty, and while not brewed on premises, is a local beer. I also loved that when I ordered a mixed drink, it came in it's own little shaker on a silver tray with the glass. Why 3 stars? Two reasons: First, my sidecar was weird. Sweet, even. Not bad, just not what I expected. I do not believe my glass was chilled, either. Second, the waiter always served my gentleman friend first. Last time I checked, it was ladies first, even- nay, ESPECIALLY- when drinks are poured. read more

This is what I'm thinking of when I think of a swanky hotel bar, or some post-war, pre-hippie amalgam of America at its highest and lowest. More than any bar in Boston, The Last Hurrah evokes some sort of anachronistic feeling reminding one of the days only described by rich parents to their children in some nice suburb. It's the world of Mad Men, of John F. Kennedy, of backroom deals cloaked with lots and lots of cigar smoke, but obviously without all that smoke. :) Up until this evening, I had never been to The Last Hurrah, despite the fact it's about a few hundred feet from the front of my building. That's still better stats for me than Mooooo, but that's not the point. The Last Hurrah evokes the standard swanky bar, the place where Don Draper would chill until some lady-type walked along that he fancied, or where 1950s and 1960s businessmen would discuss "business" (and by business, I mean whether the Brooklyn Dodgers could finally overcome those dang boys at the Polo Grounds). It's got that feel with it, where you're whisked back, but without the overwhelming "Boys Club" feel (I was able to park my butt down despite my gym bag and Reeboks). In terms of drinks, it delivers, with a variety of beers, wines, and others, though it feels like the place you could sit back with some scotch and watch the people rush down School Street trying to get to Borders or Boloco before they closed. I ended up having two Sam Adams' while commiserating with a friend of mine over topics ranging from Sarah Palin to Sonia Sotomayor, and everything in between. Prices were a little high ($6 for 12 oz, higher than you'll pay down the street at Hub Pub or Sidebar), but really, you're paying for the decor. I haven't had a chance to try the food, though I appreciated the nut bowls. Those are always a nice touch. Simply put, it's a classy place with a 1950s-1960s feel. And within the swanky Omni Parker House, it's a perfect fit. read more

I went for happy hour the other day and had a Maker's Mark Manhattan. It was perfect. The nuts were perfect. The waitress was perfect. The ambience was perfect too although I could hear voices coming from the Granary Burial Ground across the street. They were jealous. Mother Goose said that if she was able to get up she would drink me under the table. Don't drink too much, you'll hear dead people too. Many ghosts at the bar all drinking Sam Adams. Except for Sam Adams who had a Bud. What a cheapskate. I think George Washington slept here I saw him walk by, unless Barbara Bush was in town. I always get them mixed up. Anyway meet me there I'll buy the first round .Unless John Hancock offers first. read more

My dear friends, I would like to draw your attention to this upscale bar in the Beacon Hill area of town. The Last Hurrah is one of the two bars in the Omni Parker House. Now you're probably all thinking "Whoa! The Omni Parker House? Isn't that that hotel where all those historical luminaries, such as Dickens, stayed in? Doesn't it cost like $first-born-son a night?" Well, friends, that's as may be, but The Last Hurrah doesn't disappoint. To begin with, the comfortable seating and soft "mood lighting" should get you in the mood to drink. The opulent furniture (all oak and mahogany and leather and stuff) is only matched by the thoroughness of the whiskey list (the bar is listed in Whisky Magazine's best whisky bars in the world, and you can tell they're Scots, and that it's a serious list, since they spell it "whisky"!). Next, while you peruse that list, the waitstaff brings over a bowl of hot nuts. Um. Roasted nuts, I mean. Not peanuts, but almonds, and cashews, and macadamias, and so on. It's quite delicious, and really, who doesn't want a giant bowl of mixed nuts? (Apologies to nut-allergy sufferers). Oh, also, they make their martinis in a mini-shaker. I'm not sure how they manage this -- after all, if the shaker is smaller, either they can't fit in as much ice, or they can't fit in as much tipple, surely? Based on my experience drinking it, I assure you, the drink was both cold, and still potent. Bartenders (or other knowledgeable parties), feel free to write and explain why this is so. Also, to ensure that you get more than your fair share of martini, they bring out the shaker with the full martini glass, so that after you're done, they pour whatever's left into your glass. The sandwiches are good (I had this great one with pesto), and a bit pricey ($8), but I'd avoid a repeat performance. Why? 'Cause instead of a decent salad, or a soup, or even some damn fries, all I got was a mound of ruffled potato chips. Now maybe these are some fancy-pants ruffled chips that you can only get at the Omni Parker House. They taste like Ruffles. And Ruffles, ladies and gentlemen, ain't worth enough to be a side at Chili's, much less a classy joint like this one. So yeah, probably, don't get the food. Don't buy the beer either -- their selection bites, and it's overpriced. All in all, here's my recommended game plan: Go to The Last Hurrah after work. Order a whisky (they've got quite a few decent single malts, and even some bourbons, for you undiscerning, corn-lovin' types). Or a martini, if you like (Recommendation: espresso martini). Munch on hot nuts. Pretend you are rich enough that you can regularly afford to dine in swanky surroundings. Eat elsewhere, and relish in your thriftiness. Enjoy, -K read more

I'm sort of reluctant to review this bar because I feel it's one of the best kept secrets of Boston Happy Hour. The crowd varies by what convention is staying in the hotel but the chairs are comfy, they serve nuts to make you thirsty (not cheapo peanuts , the good stuff!) and the drink menu is extensive (though no Sam). I'm not a martini girl but I am madly in love with the Last Hurrah Martini. If that's your sort of thing - it's definitely not for everyone - go check it out! Jan 09 Update! I'm still a fan but service has definitely slipped in the past couple years - it's not bad but can be slow. Not always but sometimes. I go to this bar a lot so this is not based on 1 incident. If you want to relax and have some eats and aren't on a tight schedule this is a great place. The food is better than 6B, Beantown, Emmets (its neighbors) and the atmosphere more upscale. If you're looking to have a quick cocktail or two and make it to your train/date/dance lesson that could be an issue. read more

As a traveling consultant, The Omni Parker House is my favorite hotel in America. And the Last Hurrah is definitely my favorite bar -- rich leather and mahogany (Ron Burgundy lives), ice cold martinis, friendly bartenders, the Sox game on TV, Boston Cream Pie (the original) and a bowl of warm roasted nuts (mixed...cashews, too...no run of the mill peanuts here). And if you're in the mood, you can always strike up a conversation with a friendly tourist or local. read more

We set out to Omni Parker House solely for the Boston Cream Pie.. I mean, we're in Boston, shouldn't we have Boston Cream Pie? I couldn't really figure out the best place to get it, but I did find out that it supposedly originated from the Omni Parker House Hotel. We ventured towards the restaurant, not knowing where to go for our dessert...but we were sent to Last Hurrah. (Upon exit, I think the cafe might have also allowed for Boston Cream Pie orders.) Yes, I am rating solely on the pie, but c'mon..shouldn't it be amazing if you're gonna advertise it? The pie was $8, so we thought it would be a pretty hefty size, and we had just had lunch. Our waiter suggested we each order one, demonstrating with his hands that the cake was about the size of a baseball. Really? It better be good...We only ordered one, and thank goodness. I was kind of excited when the pie came out with toasted almonds around the sides, but it didn't look all that impressive. Looked like just any other market fancy-wannabe dessert. Fork into pie, fork into mouth.. mm, nothing to rave about. A friend exclaimed that she "could taste the freezer/refrigerator" in it. err..unappetizing. That tiny pie was more than enough for me. Maybe it would be better at the restaurant, but hey, we were sent to the bar. I'd like to hear those pies being stepped up..otherwise, not so likely to return. read more

I like this bar for one thing: whisk(e)y. It has the largest selection of single malts I've ever seen at a bar in Boston. You can spend a lot of money there, but honestly the prices are about on par with any other hotel bar. The difference is I always want to order a few extra rounds because the selection is so big. If you must put ice in your scotch, they serve it in a separate glass so you can add just the right number of cubes at just the right times. I've seen mixed reactions from my friends who've ordered cocktails there. The atmosphere is nice, and would be nicer if patrons dressed a little more for the occasion. Closes early, alas. read more

More of a 4.5, but since we only came for the famous Boston Cream Pie, it's a 4. Service was immediate. We got to sit wherever we wanted, and opted for a low table with armchairs overlooking the street. Even though it was still light out and there were many large windows letting light in, the place was delightfully cozy (and for once that's not a euphemism for "small"). My dad and I each ordered a hot chocolate and a pie. We hadn't had anything since our late breakfast, so it was kind of a lunch substitute to tide us over until dinner. For that, it was the perfect size. If you're having this after dinner, or just to say that you did, I'd recommend sharing one between two people. So, is it any good? Well, I wasn't totally floored, but yeah, the pie tasted really, really good. I hadn't had it anywhere else before (well, technically, Omni Parker House is the only place to get Boston Cream Pie, because they have a secret ingredient no one else knows about, or so the story goes), and while it's not my new favorite dessert, I can see how some people could get really attached to it. In fact, writing about it a few hours later is making me crave another one. The pie is kind of expensive ($8), but you're also paying for the privilege of saying you ate an original Boston Cream Pie at the oldest continuously running hotel in the United States. If you don't think it's worth it, don't go, and then you won't have to complain. read more

This was my second time at the Last Hurrah for drinks. They have a GREAT selection of scotch and bourbon. They do decent cocktails. The ambiance is FANTASTIC. The major problem is the service. I don't know how they can be so slow. It seems like there is only one or two people working a huge number of tables and they tend to do one table at a time. We wanted to pop in, get a cocktail, and make it to a late dinner reservation nearby. We ended up being there for almost an hour and a half. Everything just took about half again as long as we would have liked. I would like to think it was an off night or that they don't prioritize people coming in for drinks, especially considering the positive reviews, but it was pretty similar to the last time I was there, when we stayed longer, ordered more drinks, and had food. read more

One star is being generous. A group of seven of us went to the Omni Parker House to celebrate a birthday on Saturday for drinks and some Boston Creme pie. First of all, apparently they don't serve any food in The Last Hurrah on Saturday, so we'd have to go to the hotel's OTHER bar, Parker Bar if we wanted any Boston Creme Pie. Lame. But whatever... we ordered cocktails with the intent of moving over to Parker Bar for further drinks and dessert. However, after finishing our drinks and getting the check, our waitress vanished. Simply disappeared off the face of the earth for about a half hour. Pretty impressive, since we were only there for about an hour total. Finally, after sitting around helpless like idiots, one of the girls in the group took the check to the bar to get our cards run and cash taken care of. Magically, the waitress reappeared as we were leaving (the receipt says her name was Heather). Where was she? Narnia? We had similar problems at the Omni's other bar, Parker's Bar, that same night. The drinks and atmosphere at Last Hurrah are very nice indeed. The waitstaff is sub-par. read more

Order a glass of chardonnay and some Parker House rolls, settle into the dark leather couch and prepare to hob-knob with Beacon Hill's finest. From soup to (free bowl of warmed) nuts, an afternoon at the Parker House is, to me, as Boston as it gets. Wood paneling, historical photographs, big windows, I can't get enough. I love the grade-A people watching and the no-rush atmosphere. You'll want to spend some serious time here - keep an eye out for State House hotshots debriefing the latest gossip from the hill. All the food is great, though the spinach & artichoke dip will always hold a special place in my heart. And the lobster roll. And the chicken pot pie. You know, just order whatever you want. One mandatory choice, though - Parker House rolls aren't on the menu, but if you ask for them, they might just bring you a basketful. They're served at White House functions and are made from a secret recipe. Please, save one for me. read more

This place "oozes class" only in the sense that when my partner in crime and I drink here, we feel like Frasier and Diane in an episode of Cheers. You know. Stuffy '80s Boston. The decor is just dated enough to prevent this place from really shining. In fact, on a bad night- when scary vagrants leer at you through the window a foot away from your table and the service is less than polished- The Last Hurrah can feel downright busted. Nevertheless, we occasionally have our Frasier and Diane moments, and enjoy the bar's solid selection of decently priced cocktails. The basil gimlet is delicious, if a bit sweet. Also, their whiskey selection truly is impressive. Can't tell you anything about the Boston cream pie: I'm a drunkard, not a glutton, and prefer to ingest my calories in liquid form when possible. Most bars in this area are either too expensive and upscale, or too divey and nasty. The Last Hurrah provides some much-needed middle ground. Next time we visit (and there will be a next time), I'm going to wear big shoulder pads and make sure we talk about Wagner. read more

My favorite place to have a drink downtown. A fine, stately room, where everyone can be treated with class and respect again. You bartender will call you sir or ma'am, and not in a patronizing way. He or she will make you feel attended to and welcome, as is only befitting the tavern at the oldest hotel in the United States, and yet will still make friendly, pleasant conversation. It's only fitting to have a glass of scotch from the well-stocked bar. Spend a little extra and treat yourself to something from the top shelf as you lounge in the comfortable yet unpretentious leather chairs, in the warm, dim light. Look around and see if Ricardo Montalban isn't sitting next to you, flashing a knowing smile. But don't hesitate to try the house beer, a fine ale that's hearty and refreshing for all seasons. Whatever you have, be sure to enjoy the bowl of warmed fancy mixed nuts offered to every patron, as the Last Hurrah's way of letting you know they appreciate you every time you stop in. Pictures on the wall depict old Boston politics, as the bar is named for the famous novel about a political lifer's downfall. But just one drink here can make anyone having a bad day feel good about themselves again, be they congressman or chambermaid. Really, though, you'll leave feeling like it's treatment well-deserved by anyone. read more

BOOZE, HIGH BAR, BOOZE, PEOPLE WATCHING , HAND TOWELS IN BATH ROOM, WARM NUTS ( hee hee). I love this place always been a place to meet for difficult conversation, or celebrations. Always and odd ball crowd as in a Hotel and always get into conversations w/ strangers. comfy booths on the lower level w/ all glass to people watch again. I just don't like the tall lurch like house manager - he pokes his nose in too much w/ annoying recommendations. read more

Sat at the bar. Good drinks, average prices, and good service. Did not eat, but they do have food. They have a large selection of whiskey and bourbon. If you can't find it here, I am not sure they produce it. Have most every year and vintage of whiskey that I enjoy, so I was happy. The place reminds you of a mob era bar and gives the same charm. A most see, drink, and I have heard eat (Boston creme pie) when in the Boston area. read more

I'm a sucker for an historic hotel bar like this one. This place has a nice, rich ambience and is definitely patronized by "older" people, not the young set. I have sat at the bar all but once, which was on New Year's Eve with some friends, when we had a table and the joint was, of course, very crowded then. Drinks are not high-priced considering the location (inside the Omni Parker House) - about $8-$8.50 for a vodka-and-tonic. I suspect most of the waiters and bartenders here are "career" waiters and bartenders - they've been doing this for a very long time. Twice when I visited, a group of wedding guests came in for a post-ceremony celebration, wearing their finery and ordering cocktails and scattering themselves between the bar and the tables. I've always gone there dressed VERY casually, but that didn't seem to be an issue, ever. And it's never been very crowded there after work (5:00pm). I haven't tried the food, but then I don't usually stop into a hotel bar to eat. I like this place because it's near where I work, it's civilized, you can have a drink there and not be bothered by lots of noise, and it's not overpriced. Gets a good rating from me. read more

I've heard they have warm nuts. For some reason, these nuts, combined with their fancy schmancy martinis made me want to stop by. A friend and I met up at the Last Hurrah on a random Thursday night. I was surprised to see that there were several open tables, but the for the most part it was filled with patrons that I would classify as "older". When I say older, I mean like my grandparents age. As the night when on several young folks meandered in but this definitely had the old gentleman feel. After an awkward wait for menus, we finally were able to order the Big Apple Martini and Mango Martini. They arrived quickly on a fun little tray and our food followed pretty quickly thereafter. My apple martini was perfect. Chilled, crisp and went down smoothly. I could have easily pounded several of those down, but the $11 price tag reined me in. I don't consider that a ridiculous price, but it can take a toll on the pocket. My clam chowder was delicious (thanks to another review for recommending it!), but my caesar salad had an an extremely soapy taste. I thought it was the anchovies that were on top for a bit, but now I really am convinced that I downed a few teaspoons of Dawn liquid soap while eating that salad. My friend ordered the spring rolls which made me giggle when they arrived. Apparently these were made for children with small hands. These suckers were super small and could easily be described as bite size. The ambiance of the place is warm and inviting. The old school hotel feel spills into this bar and makes it worth at least one visit. read more

Full of win. It got my friend pleasantly tipsy on first-rate martinis, all while we got to lounge around in comfy chairs and occasionally overhear the couple at the neighboring table order their second, and then their third, and then their fourth, and then their fifth round--by which point it seemed remarkable that their groping hadn't turned into something more. The warm nuts on the table are a nice touch, and the ambiance is both classy and relaxing. I'll definitely be back. read more

This WOULD BE a perfect review... I'll start with the good stuff: Went out with 7 people some were out of towers so "The Last Hurrah" is the perfect Bostonian location for dessert and drinks. We all got Boston Cream pie and ordered a bottle of the paired wine, a Cava sparkling pinot noir, for the table. We had a great seat right by the window and had a lovely time talking and laughing and finally finished off the desert and our bottle of wine. It was great! Now onto the bad: Our server, Paul, started out as a cool guy very friendly but then he decided to announce to us he was going on break and would have someone else take care of us... No one ever did. Our glasses sat empty. Finally Paul came back and once we complained about not being taken care of & ordering 1 more drink, he turned on us... We sat there chatting for a while longer and we were NEVER checked on again. Now the kicker: as we paid and left he told us "you all saved me tonight I did not need to pay any attention to you all since you seemed content talking amongst yourselves" UMM WHAT?!?! So all in all I love this place for its drinks, atmosphere and desert but the service was deplorable. read more

As a frequent traveler, I am constantly recommending this bar to anyone I know traveling to Boston. I came in to try a Manhattan, and I was blown away by the quality! Then I got blown away a second time by the price. Very reasonable for such a quality drink. The Omni hotel is classy, this bar is classy and every visit the bartenders have been beyond friendly. I can't say enough good things about this bar. My only complaint is one time I came by and it was closed around 9pm on a Sunday. Weak complaint and not even enough to dent the 5 star rating. I was just sad! read more

Cocktail choices were plentiful and included more than just the mainstream brands, which is great. Flatbread prosciutto was basically garlic toast with sliced cherry tomatoes and bacon bits. Very disappointing. Only ate here because I'm staying here. Ruth this bar bite menu across the street for 9$ blows this away. read more

I know I've professed my love of hotel bars on here before, and this one adds to all that smooshiness. The Last Hurrah is a place I love to go for my last drink. Sure, hotel bars tend to close an hour earlier than the rest of the bars in Boston, but these days I'm lucky if I make to last call anywhere... This place is so comfortable, with the big leather chairs and couches and friendly service. I've enjoyed an array of drinks here, from champagne to beer to Bailey's. And the historical aspect of it just takes the cake. 4.5 stars but I couldn't bear to leave just 4 stars so there we go, another 5-star review! read more

I enjoyed dropping by on a windy day for some drinks and beef stew. Couple notes: 1) Definitely a hotel bar; feels vaguely like a hotel ballroom that was made over into a bar (meaning, funny wallpaper, lack of furniture, etc.) 2) Parker rolls are average; they taste similar to what you can get in the refrigerated section of the supermarket -- buttery, fairly processed tasting. 3) Warm nuts are delicious. You have to ask for them if you don't sit at the bar proper, unfortunately. (We had a $250 bill for our party getting mainly just drinks, and they didn't keep the supply of nuts coming?) 4) Service was funny; on a Friday night at around 8pm, the waitress kept telling us to pay because the "system" was going to be restarted? I kind of feel this was some sort of worry around us being a flight risk? Pretty uncool, frankly. 5) My Hendrick's martini was a bit heavy on the vermouth. I think it was around $12. 6) Beef stew (around $16) was good -- tasted similar to canned stew but with fresh ingredients; not sure what I was expecting, but it was fine with some rolls to dip. Nice, soft ingredients -- onions, carrots, and beef. 7) Bathrooms are out in the hotel by the other bar, "Parker's bar" -- didn't go myself but I think next time, maybe we should try Parker's. All in all, close to my house, seems reliable enough, but will plan to explore some alternatives before coming back to the Last Hurrah. PS: Didn't try the Boston Creme pie -- looked nice though, although "upscaleified." read more

[Boston Cream Pie Martini!!!] Last Hurrah is a quintessential old-time, hotel bar with a political history and steeped in the elegance of Jackie O and the romance of dark leather and polished brass touched by greats of past eras. Boston Cream Pie Martini in a glass rimmed with Godiva chocolate dust and sugar, mixed at the bar, served on a little silver tray and poured at your table. So delicious I could not just sip it slowly, but sipped it right down and did not hesitate to order another almost immediately. Pricey of course, our "afternoon snack" (two martinis each and boston cream pie between the four of us) cost as much as our dinner (though that was without alcohol). For BCP overload we paired it with an actual Boston cream pie (since the Omni Parker House was the first place to serve it, it seemed like a necessity) which was beautifully served and delightfully p erfect: the poundcake soaked in the custard just the right amount, the custard firm-enough to taste but soft enough to seep, and the chocolate and whipped cream most decadent. They give you warm salted nuts to snack on, yum. read more

I've walked by the Omni Parker House many a time when strolling through Boston, but until recently I've never had the occasion to stop in. I was just there for drinks for a friend's birthday and had a great time. Supposedly the bar is quite crowded around happy hour time with the after-work crowd stopping by for a drink or two, seems like a great place to do so. We went by later to miss the crowd (around 7) and were able to snag a few tables for our crowd. The ambiance had a great, classic feel, cozy all around. Wood and leather everywhere harken back to the times of casual cigar smoking with the guys with a glass of bourbon in hand. I was there in fairly causal going out attire, but it certainly offers the opportunity to dress up for a night out with friends. Plus, something about walking into the Omni Parker House makes me feel sophisticated. Drink prices seemed to be in the $9-12 range, roughly. I had a delicious cocktail with champagne and grand marnier. The martini menu was extensive, and they seemed to have a long list of quality whiskey, bourbon, etc. Not the kind of place to come and order a bud light or PBR. It's time to get classy. read more

"Harrumph Harrumph!" is usually what you'll hear me say over my Last Hurrah martini in the corner, chowing down on their delicious mixed nuts which are actually mixed of delightful exotics and not mostly peanuts as many places try to pass off. So if you have a severe nut allergy, FYI they're on every table. Their cocktails are fabulous. The food is delicious and of exceptional quality. The service is always top notch. You get the feel and grandeur of Boston past from the food to lighting to the decor. It's a great BOSTON place. You couldn't find a place like this in any other city-- it just wouldn't fit. It's the cornerstone of the Onmi Parker House, without the price tag of the full restaurant. If you need a little old school Boston, this is your place. You can have it all-- a snack, a cocktail, some wine, dinner or just dessert--for a break from the hustle and bustle of present day downtown Boston. As a resident who just loves her city and the history of it, I enjoy this beautiful respite. Take a break, relax. Enjoy your drink. Enjoy your food. You're in good hands. read more

We only came for a drink on my fellow Yelper's recommendations of a good Martini, hence the 4 stars. Thank you.. my friends were quite happy. The staff were friendly. The menu screamed comfort food, New England style. Hope to return for a dinner. Nice place to grab a drink when you want to have a conversation in a low key environment. I loved the leather sofa and the chairs, it adds a nice feeling. The nuts are delicious! read more

Definitely an older crowd...I came mid afternoon.. and only gentlemen were at the bar..and the rest at the table were..familes..and old people. A hotel bar, what can i say... They serve you nuts...I really wish there were more pistachios, one can dream..my friends strawberry margarita was delicious, fruity..and probably turned watery very fast...the bartender was cool, he actually gives you all of the drink they make...they don't just chuck it out. I made the wrong choice against his expertise and got this awful drink that i was just going to forfeit because it tasted way too... jager than i wanted and he did the right thing and changed my drink to the one he recommended so that lychee drink was delicious. Thank you very much. That's how it should work so i applaud him for realizing i hated the drink i ordered and was nice enough to change it without me asking. Good job on hiring your bartender Last Hurrah! read more

I'm one of those dorky people who has to eat the foods that are "famous" in all of the places I visit. So, of course I just had to try the Parkerhouse Rolls and Boston Cream Pie at the Omni Parkerhouse Hotel. Since I can't very well plop myself down at a table and order just a roll and a dessert I had a cup of soup too. And, I must say that it was mighty tasty! Yummy, yummy tomato bisque. Flavorful and fresh tasting. But on to what I was REALLY there for: the rolls were flakey, warm, and light. So flavorful that they didn't even need any butter. And, I love buttered rolls. The Boston Cream Pie was good, but not really the best I've ever had. It was cute enough.... a perfect individual size circle... but it was a wee bit gummy..... and the pie (cake, really) to chocolate ratio was a bit off. I like a bit more dark chocolate on top to off-set the yellow cake and custard filling. read more

I'd give the bar and the drink lists a 4 but the food doesn't really surpass a 2. I've been here twice now and the drinks and the bar is great to hang out at. They have a great line up of gins and other liquors and some interesting gin & tonic combinations. I could easily sit at the bar for a few hours just relaxing and trying a few different drinks. The bar seats are comfortable and the bartenders are generally very helpful and attentive. The food, though, needs a lot of work. For appetizers we ordered: - Meatballs: good but too much on the breadcrumbs. You could taste them. - Tuna tartare: this was very good! - Charcuterie plate: Do NOT order this. $17 for 5 slices of a salami, 2 slices of some indeterminate type of meat (I *think* it was prosciutto) and 3 small wedges of cheese. Add in 4 small slices of bread and a small piece of cantaloupe....and tell me how that is worth $17?? I mean, come on. The North End is just over on the other side of Fanueil Hall. Go to one of the Salumeria's and get quality meats and cheeses. I don't often get something and then say "that's it?" but this was one of those times. For dinner I got the City Hall Melt, a tuna melt with 'albacore tuna' and a side of 'kettle chips'. The tuna was dark and had the consistency of canned tuna. Not flavorful at all. And the 'kettle chips'? I think the chef should take a trip to the Intercontinental Hotel in Atlanta and learn what a 'kettle chip' is. Or, for that matter, go to any location that has home made chips. Kettle Chips are NOT Lays Ruffles chips. That's what they served with my sandwich. They came right out of the bag. If you're going to serve them out of a bag and call them 'kettle chips', then at least go buy a bag of Lays Kettle chips and serve those. Overall, the sandwich and dinner portion was very, very disappointing. Bottom line: go for the drinks, stay away from the food with the exception of the Tuna Tartare (of the things I've tried there. The chef really needs to figure out what a Charcuterie plate is and what kettle chips are. read more

I'm not usually one to frequent sophisticated establishments, so the thought of going to The Last Hurrah never went through my mind. A couple of weeks ago, however, my fiance and I went on a "Hotel Bar Crawl" with some of our friends and this place really stood out. I tried most people's drinks (hey, sharing is caring!) an each one was well mixed. The warm nuts, which many have already commented on, not only make for a great snack... but the endless jokes that come with it are an added bonus. Tonight, I will be headed back here for a second time. I expect that it will be as I remember: a place to relax, have a real conversation with a friend, and throw back a few classic beverages. read more

The only thing keeping this bar from getting 5 stars from me was the slow service. After a very long day 1st day in Boston, Tristan and I ended up here since we were staying at the Parker House. We sat in one of the more intimate areas of the bar/restaurant where there were a few mini-living room like set-ups and a picture of Malcolm X on the wall. He, along with Ho Chi Minh used to work at the hotel a long time ago. The price of the wine was surprisingly reasonable but the server was very slow and kinda rude. The ambiance was very nice and the fact that it's an award winning Whiskey Bar must mean something. Excellent place to go with a few friends if you want to get comfy, have a good drink and some good convo too. read more
