came here for the boston cream pie only; if that's what you're thinking -- i would say, don't. it was more than a bit dry, and not a great representation of the dessert probably pretty rude of me to leave a review for the pie and not their drinks but they market it heavily + it makes lists online as something to try here so i imagine a lot of people reading reviews for this place is looking for this exact information all that said, nice place, fun history and much nicer service. will likely not be back again but we really appreciated their hospitality and kindness! read more

We came here for a drink and the famed Boston Cream Pie! Both are delish! This is a classy, elegant bar that is not pretentious. Lots of history and absolutely beautiful inside. We sat at the bar for a few hours. read more

Last Hurrah - Well made drinks - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Came here for the holiday pop-up "Blitzens". It was decorated super cute but they literally weren't playing any music? Like not only were they not playing Christmas music at a holiday bar but they weren't playing anything! Half the drinks were sold out by the time we got there. I opted for an espresso martini and it was the worst espresso martini I've ever had. No froth, so much cream, tasted like they put in this mornings coffee from the continental breakfast. Our server was nice, she just seemed over it by the time we got there. read more

I stayed at the Omni Parker House during a convention in November. I was given free drink tickets to Last Hurrah. The service was great! I paid for a couple of drinks and I thought the prices were very reasonable. If you want to try the famous Boston Cream Pie - you can get one to go at the bar. That's much easier than eating in the full service restaurant. My only complaint is that the bar seats are small and make a snug seat for those with fat bottoms. read more

Excellent drinks and ambience. Got the Boston cream pie martini and also an Old Fashioned - both were very good. Nice atmosphere for gathering with friends as well - was in town for the Works in Progress IP Conference and it is very close to Suffolk Law School! Highly recommended. read more

If you've been following Wicked Local Husbands, then you'll know we have a thing for Boston History! And one of the most historic locations in the city is the "Omni Parker House" and it's Whiskey Bar "The Last Hurrah!" Founded in 1855, the Omni was the location where JFK announced his first run for Congress in 1946, JFK proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953, and Kell had his first drink after turning 21 in the USA in 2008...amongst other events. It was imperative that we make a trip here, for nostalgia sake! Arriving at this gorgeous hotel, we got a seat at the bar! The winter atmosphere blended well with the cozy classic bar interior filled with dark wood and leather furniture! To settle in to the experience further, we settled on a number of delicious classic cocktails: BOSTON CREAM PIE - Vanilla Vodka, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, & Baileys Irish Cream! THE LAST HURRAH ESPRESSO MARTINI - Fresh Brewed Espresso, Vodka, & A Splash of Coole Swan! LEMON VANILLA BOURBON SMASH - Mitcher's Bourbon, Vanilla Vodka, Muddled Lemon, & Orange Bitters! TITOS MOSCOW MULE - Titos Vodka, Q Ginger Beer, & Lime! THE TEA-TINI - Earl Grey Infused Barr Hill Gin, Lemon, & Simple Syrup! The bar staff here are excellent and craft some perfect cocktails! Drinking them, we wandered around and explored the historic photos and newly renovated lounge! Already, we can't wait to get back here soon to try their famous "Boston Cream Pie" but for now we will settle for the cocktail. Have you been to the "Last Hurrah" or the "Omni Parker House"? What did you think? Let us know! Visited On 12/29/2021 read more

Went to try the bar and all the good looking cocktails and the RUDE hostess at the front was no help. We showed up to the bar at 10:45 and she said they weren't seating anymore people. I asked when they closed and she said 12:00, I asked why they weren't seating and she said because it was last call. So you're telling me it's last call an hour and 15 minutes before closing??? She had a BAD attitude and ruined the entire experience. Whoever she was, working tonight 6/4, needs to go. read more

We decided to come here for some Boston Creme pie after our guide from the ghost tour recommended it. They were busy, but the hostess helped us find a table; she was lovely compared to the bartender, who wasn't accommodating. We waited a bit for our server. But once he arrived, things went smoothly. He was attentive and took good care of us. We got appetizers and drinks as well. The appetizer and cocktails were good. Ending our last night here in Boston was quite memorable. read more

We stopped in here to eat during our walk along the Freedom Trail. This is definitely a cool bar with some nice decor! I ordered the club sandwich and it was very tasty. The chips that came with it were also good. My husband got the clam chowder and enjoyed it. We of course had to finish with trying the Boston cream pie! We had never had one before and this one was really delicious! It was surpassingly lighter than we expected, which was good! Overall this is a great place to eat and relax at if you're in the area! read more

----- Concise Review Boston Creme Pies, Mojitos... and wonderful service! ----- Longer Review We traveled to South Tamworth, New Hampshire, by way of Boston, MA and then North Conway, NH, for the wedding of our niece to her husband. The trip was brief - Thursday evening to Sunday, but filled with family, fun, and some exploring. On Friday we explored Boston, focusing mostly on the Freedom Trail. As we drove into town, looking to park so we could walk the Freedom Trail, out of the corner of my eye I saw the sign covering the window... stating that the Boston Creme Pie was first created at the Omni Hotel. I called the hotel and John at the front desk confirmed just that - The Omni is the home of the Boston Creme Pie, they can be ordered dine-in or carry-out, and the restaurant/bar is open until at least 10pm (maybe 11pm). Right away, in the early afternoon, we planned to dine there for dessert after dinner. So after a great afternoon on the Freedom Trail, and a dinner... and time to wait for our son to fly in (he came a day later because of Friday classes he didn't want to miss), we visited the Omni. The Omni has done a wonderful job welcoming guests who aren't staying there... there are several tables and high-backed chairs in the lobby near The Last Hurrah to relax and enjoy just sitting or food and drinks. The walls are adorned with a letter from Alexander Graham Bell to his wife hand-written in the hotel, and some nice artwork. And the decorations throughout are classic, especially the doors to the elevators. We ordered three Boston Cream Pies (cakes), two non-alcoholic Mojitos, and two Aqua Panna waters. The (female, Fri 9/10 9pm) server was very friendly and helpful getting our order. She pulled some magic and acquired some mint for our daughter's non-alcoholic mojito and the bartender made one of the best we've tasted. The bartender also helped us with directions to speed us to Logan airport to get our son. The Boston Creme Pies were goooood... white cake and internal creme, topped with chocolate icing. The first one disappeared quickly. We then ordered two more to take with us; intending for before bed in the hotel, but they served well for breakfast instead. The staff was very attentive, already knowing that we needed to depart to pick up our son - thanks! Thank you, Omni hotel! P.S. for parking, there may be closer garages... we just don't know for sure... we parked in a public garage that serves the Ritz and Equinox exercise club, the entrance is located on Boylston, just next to the St. Francis House, across from Fin's Sushi ----- ----- ----- read more

Now I can say I tried the original Boston cream pie! All of the staff were very friendly and efficient even with a Friday night crowd. Even though we came for the dessert, I enjoyed the drinks more.

This review is from my last visit in February. I was in town for work and meeting a friend for dinner. It was cold out, likely in the mid 30s, and I was on foot taking the subway from Seaport to the Boston Common Park Street exit. It was a quick walk from the subway station and located on a decently busy street. The restaurant is located inside of a hotel. Walking in, I noticed a few people waiting in seats chatting quietly. Once I found the entrance to the restaurant which is located by the door, front of house greeted me. The interior was pretty with ample lighting, lots of windows and mirrors. I spotted my friend in the framed mirrors before actually seeing him so I felt like a dazed fly when I didn't see him when he was in front of me. My friend had gotten there in advance and had gotten a table, so no waiting was necessary. He chose the restaurant since a bunch of other restaurants he was looking at around the area were busy with long wait times. It was a Thursday night, so it was slow enough that the waiter was able to space us and the other patrons out enough that everyone could hear each other without raising voices or asking to repeat what they said. I especially appreciated this since I can get overstimulated in noisy environments. On the table were waters and pretzel bits which were warm, salted, and buttery. We enjoyed them and caught up before an older gentleman approached us and asked if we wanted dinner. My friend hesitated and said yes after seeing me a bit puzzled. He ordered a flat bread pizza and I ordered a clam chowder. We shared both and both were amazing and really hit the spot. The pizza was hot, cheesy and well balanced. The clam chowder was warm and creamy and served with a small bag of crackers. Food total for the three items were $40 which wasn't bad. Our waiter asked if we wanted dessert which we declined. He had noticed I was wearing outdoor snowboots, and had asked if I wanted to try their Boston Cream Pie if I was visiting, I kindly turned him down noting I'd be back in the city again in a few months. Food - good, above average, really hits the spot if you want something warm and cozy - 8.75/10 Service - good, catered more toward the business crowd, the waiter was noticeably more kind to my friend in a suit than myself, presenting him with items I requested, asking him questions, etc. Lost a point for making me feel the power swayed in my friends favor as opposed to equal amongst both of us. Other waiters appeared kind and respectful toward other diners as well - 9/10 Ambiance - Cozy, great lighting, I could see my friend well, and it helped partition out the booths and the restaurant area, quiet enough I could have a conversation without hearing neighbors - 10/10 Overall - 9/10 read more

What a really cool place to hangout and enjoy some good food and drinks. The staff is really friendly and helpful, the patrons can be very diverse, you may find yourself in a good conversation here as I did. There's a food menu for some bar bites (I loved the Reuben sliders - very good) and of course you can always try the legendary Boston Cream Pie. The atmosphere is friendly and casual and that is always a good place to be. Special shout out to Francesco for the amazing stories about the Parker house hotel. Peggy for the helpful details. Scott, Andrew, Alejandro and Ryan for your customer service. They are the best! This place will always be a favorite of mine. Enjoy! read more

Classic Boston bar in the Cheers-style. John was extremely pleasant. Decent fortified wine selection and prices are low for the area.

Let me start by saying I only had a Paper Plane Martini which was fine, I guess. After siting down however I instantly looked for another option. This place has zero vibe! ...especially for a $20 martini. The menu looked unremarkable and it did take several minutes to be served by an uninviting waiter. Bottom line, try another gin joint. read more

I hope whiskey lovers would've heard of "King Alexander III". You see, I'm a lover of whiskeys aged in multiple casks, and this is aged in six (I think), and gets rave reviews. So what then does The Last Hurrah have anything to do with this? Well, King Alexander III is a $250 bottle. Therefore, I wanted to be able to try a dram before deciding whether or not I was going to cough up the $250 on a bottle. I got in touch with The Dalmore (they make it) to find out which bars carry this liquid gold. Out of the two, another bar carries a shot for $60 where as this one carries it for $30. While by itself this is rather expensive, considering the cost of the bottle I thought this was more or less reasonable. By the way, it's great whiskey, and well worth it. What I was really thrilled about was when I saw the Scotch list (which has way more than on their regular menu) that there are sample sizes. While I this isn't available with everything, being able to taste many different scotches without even having to commit to a whole 50ml. Another thing which was an incredibly pleasant surprise: Glencairn glasses. Being someone who likes to savor every aspect of whiskey, these glasses are awesome for nosing and sipping. No better way for me to enjoy some fine scotch. They have a pretty lengthy list of martinis as well. I don't remember which one I had, but I do remember it being pleasantly strong, smooth, and generally well balanced. Not being very party-hardy, I enjoyed the atmosphere here. It was generally quieter, and less packed than many other places. I've enjoyed many amazing cocktails at the Russel House tavern in Harvard Square, but this is the place to enjoy a drink in a relatively calmer environment. Very well done folks! read more

Tried the Boston cream pie even though we saw a review that said it was dry...and it was. Would definitely recommend trying it from Flour Bakery instead. Even though this was the original location of BCP, others have perfected it. read more

We stopped in to this cozy little bar that services the Omni Parker House. Dimly lit but clean and fancy with a long wooden bar and a number of tables. Large display of bottled spirits behind the bar, a half-dozen or so beer taps and a very nicely printed cocktails menu in a leather binder. My colleague chose a "Perfect Martini" and he enjoyed it. Hand mixed and served very cold. I had a bottled imported beer that was also cold, poured perfectly and in the right sort of glassware. The small bowl of warm nuts was a nice touch. And not all peanuts! Only complaint is that the restrooms are a very convoluted walk across the hotel lobby and upstairs. I'm sure that this relates to the age and design of the hotel. read more

Decent prices for decent drinks. The food seems cheap but portions are small and the food is incredibly bland and mediocre. But if you like flavor of any kind at all in your food go somewhere else. The pizza sauce was straight tomato paste, the chicken was unseasoned, the "curry" was as flavorful as a La Croix. The restaurant is beautiful and had stunning decor, in a historic building. Service was not as good as I was expecting, food arrived before appetizers and we had to ask for our drinks numerous times before they arrived. Server and staff were nice though read more

We stopped in to try the original Boston creme pie, which was clearly not at all a surprise to our server. She brought our pie and waters very quickly and was quick with the check also.

The pie was just okay, in my opinion, but honestly no reason not to try it out and visit the Last Hurrah! read more

This is a great bar to catch up with a friend over drinks and a dessert. We didn't try the actual food, but who needs real dinner? Service was excellent, and the interior of this bar is gorgeous. Apparently Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol here, so there's definitely history. There's an extensive drink collection, so no matter what your alcohol preferences, they'll have something. I had the "Perfect Martini," which was indeed perfect. Also strong. They don't skimp on the booze here. While you're savoring your cocktails, don't forget to have a piece of Boston Cream Pie! It's delicious and well worth it, especially if you're a visitor to the town. Prices are expensive but actually slightly more reasonable in my mind than other restaurants in the same area of town. read more

A solid Boston experience coupling cuisine and history. The Last Hurrah offers a wide variety of potent potables but most notably provides easy access to the ever famous Boston Cream Pie. The Parker House is not only credited with creating this famous dessert but is also known for the Parker House Roll and the term "scrod". Service was quintessential New England and enjoyable. Two thumbs up for ambience and experience. read more

Ever since the first time I passed the Omni Parker House, I've had it stuck in my head that this is where the Boston Cream Pie was born! And I've proceeded to tell all my family and friends, every time we passed by. Over 2 years and dozens of visits later, I finally stepped into the historic hotel for a taste! Unfortunately, the restaurant itself was closed for the afternoon. Our remaining options? 1) Giftshop or 2) Order at the bar. We checked out the gift shop, which is much brighter and modern than the beautifully dark lobby, and then decided to pick out some seats at the bar which opened up at 4. There were three of us, and due to the HIGH HIGH price of a single "pie", we split one order. It came on a beautifully decorated plate w/ whipped cream and strawberries--perfect for camera wielding tourists such as ourselves! The cake was tasty, the windows were perfect for people-watching, and if I felt like splurging, I would've ordered a nice cup of tea or a latte to enjoy with my cake! FUN FACT: While the Boston Cream Pie is the official dessert of Massachusetts, it isn't mass produced! In yo face, mass! :P read more

5 stars for Gabi!! What a nice hosted. So generous and accommodating. Gabi was very kind. And this review is just for picking up the famous Parker House rolls. You can pick up frozen ones too! I called ahead and ordered two dozen from rolls to take to Thanksgiving. The rolls were packed well. But Gabi went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our order.she asked an employee what the instructions were so we would know how to heat them up. This other employee (female, in a black vest the waitstaff wears, and glasses. I don't know her name but she was very helpful too!). This establishment has never been busy when I've gone but the staff is always working hard and always pleasant and professional. They will be open on Thanksgiving and working on a holiday most of us have off so I really want to say thanks and appreciate this staff. Thanks Gabi and all the staff!! read more
