Peggy, my server, was incredibly lovely. I originally ordered the Harvard, forgetting that I didn't congac, and she made me an entire new drink!!! The caipirinha was awesome! Thank you! read more

Classic bar, drinks are a bit dated but still a great spot to grab a drink. It's a bit concerning when you have some amazing wiskeys on shelf and the bar tender recommends crown rye‍. But to dealers each own. Edit: never mind the bar tenders first day back. read more

For my inaugural visit, I arrived at this bar ensconced in a corner of the historic Omni Parker House with a pair of guests interested in finding a Boston Cream Pie and a decent clam chowder. Here, we hit both. A bit pricy for what it was, but I had arrived with a 3 course meal deal for 2 in hand, so we ordered the two bowls of New England Clam Chowder ($11), a JFK Lobster Roll ($21), two Chicken-Waldorf salads ($15), and one of their famed Boston Cream Pies ($8). This was plenty for our three appetites. While the warm nuts that graced neigboring tables did not magically appear at our table (we had to ask for them - I tend not to be shy about such things), our waiter did offer to plate our 2 bowls of chowder as 3 cups ($8 for a "crock") for our convenience. This was a nice and unexpected gesture, which we appreciated. The chowder was served in pretty matching china cups and plates, piping hot, and thick and creamy with a decent portion of smaller chunks of clams and potato. A very good rendition of the chowder indeed! And with the tasty Parker House rolls and oyster crackers, we were nearly full already! But we still had our entrees to contend with. My lobster roll was a toasted roll decently filled with not overly dressed meat. I didn't get the feeling that it was all claw meat like I did at Panera Bread recently. The cole slaw was okay, but wasn't the sweet sort that I prefer, such as the one served by KFC. The salads looked good, and was much more than the apple and celery implied by the name of "waldorf." The wine poached pear was rather winey however, and not particularly tender despite its poaching bath. The Boston Cream Pie, as you may know, is not a pie. As a cake with a custard layer sandwiched within, topped with chocolate and encrusted with nuts, it was good, but not exceptional. But at least my guests could go home and say that they've experienced it. The bathroom is shared with the Parker's Restaurant - head out the bar, head right and go towards the Parker's Restaurant and head up the stairs... you'll find it.

Highly recommend it. The staff at the restaurant were also great. Peggy was our server and she was amazing and so kind! She really is a gem and knows customer service! Will definitely visit the last hurrah again for the delicious pie and drinks! read more

She was beautiful, friendly, and one of the best multi-tasking bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of watching as she worked the LH bar this New Year's Eve. Emma, thank you for making our evening special!! read more

If I could give this place 0stars I would. it feels degrading to be there the lady was rude and id say a bit racist. I don't like to pull the race card but in this case it felt a little intentional. We went in for some drinks and something to eat, it was about 9:50pm the short gray haired waitress did not want to take our order and when she did we had our order ready it was so post to be 2 beers and chowder she said and I quote with her dam attitude"that there is no chowder& the kitchen is closing and we need to hurry up " okay that's fine I get it kitchen can't stay all night but Our drinks took about 15-20 min to get to us and mean while a couple came in sat AFTER us and still got drinks and food before we could even get a glass placed in front of us. read more

Boston cream pie cocktail was delicious I ordered the pretzel bites and turkey sandwich to go. The pretzel bites were really good, but the turkey sandwich was dry and underwhelming. The sandwich really needed an aioli, mustard, or something to add moisture and flavor to it. Staff was friendly, attentive, and quick. read more

Great location to people watch on Halloween weekend. Good drinks and appetizers. Loved the Boston Cream Pie

An excellent selection of Boston-notable cocktails, made well and with a heavy pour. Bottled beer is, frankly, overpriced, even for the city. Service was impeccable. read more

This review is in regards for their whiskey selection. Simply put, it was off the chain. Although this place isn't specifically a whiskey bar, I was thoroughly impressed with their selection. I also greatly enjoyed the fact that they offer the option to order samples of whiskey, so you can try before you order a full measure. Their selection was very unique, as I don't think I would have found a lot of their whiskeys even at an actual whiskey bar. I was very pleased. read more

Last Hurrah - Glenmorangie Lasanta. Delicious! - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Expensive, but pretty good service and a nice addition to the hotel. It's convenient.

This place was absolutely amazing! The food and the service was great. We sat at the bar and our bartender Mike was so nice and helpful. I hadn't had such good service in a while! He told us all the good areas and recommend places to go. The food was tasty and the drinks were delicious. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommend! read more

Best service in town. Hands-down. Friendly, attentive, impeccable. Francesco, Peggy, and the rest of the staff are consummate professionals.

We had initially overlooked this restaurant as just "the hotel restaurant" at the Parker House - but that was our mistake. We went in only because all of the restaurants in the neighborhood seem to close at 8:00 pm on Sunday. Last Hurrah was open until 10:00. The flatbread pizzas were really good, and the Boston Cream pies were excellent. I also like the way they make an Old Fashioned. Highly recommend! read more

I was disappointed to discover that No. 9 Park was closed on Boxing Day and in search of cocktails near our hotel, we ended up at the Last Hurrah. After deciding on a slice of Boston creme pie with our drinks our server let us know they were not serving food on this particular Saturday night. Thinking it'd be the next best thing, I opted for a Boston creme pie martini. This concoction of vanilla vodka, chocolate liqueur, and Baileys with a cocoa dusted rim was satisfyingly sweet and not unlike drinking spiked chocolate milk. As a hotel bar habitué, the Last Hurrah offered nothing in particular to surprise and delight me but it was proficient in the ways you might expect: prompt service, competent cocktails, atmosphere conducive to conversation and plenty of seating. read more

Nice bar in an historic hotel. Home of the Boston Cream Pie, favorite haunt of some literary giants...all that jazz. The bar is swanky in a gently worn, old-school way. Bartenders are professional but not too chatty. The whiskey selection is excellent. They make a decent cocktail. The hours can be tricky; make sure they will be open before you head over. read more

After a long 90 minutes of touring the freedom trail in the cold wind Aarein A. and I stopped off at The Last Hurrah for a hot toddy and Boston Cream Pie. There were no tables available so we took a seat at the bar. The bartender was trying his best, but I think he was overwhelmed and needed a little help. This led to him forgetting to put the order in for our pie and give us water. The hot toddys were warm but once we saw the martini list I think we were both wishing we had checked that out first. This hotel is where the Boston Cream Pie was invented, but it seems this was a newer version with a chocolate ganache on top and slivered almonds on the sides. I think I would have preferred the old school pie. I think we mostly came in for the convenience, but would both be willing to come in and try another drink or maybe even that lobster roll a waiter walked by with. read more

It is located just off the front lobby of the Omni Parker. I have been here before after a client event and it was nice. Please see my blog for more details and reviews. We watched the end of the Sox game (around 9 pm) and met a friend. The place was fairly crowded when the game was playing, but after it ended there were the three of us and another couple. It was way too quite after the game, and was time to finish our drinks and leave.

I was wavering between 4 and 5 stars. But then I realized it was solely due to price. ($50 for chowder, two ciders, and a dessert) HOWEVER. It's a perfect example of "you get what you pay for". The bar is cozy with an extremely rich feel. The service is prompt and friendly. The bowl of warmed nuts was AMAZING. Yes, I said nuts were amazing. Sounds stupid, but very true. I'm seriously considering just going for a cider and nuts. The "main course" was the New England clam chowder, and a better bowl I've yet to have. The density was perfect with just the right balance of potatoes to EXTREMELY tender clams. The server was very sweet and brought me all the crackers and rolls (those famous "Parker House Buns"!) I wanted. For dessert I HAD to get the Boston Cream Pie (they invented the damn thing!) and despite $9 it was WELL worth it! read more

Have you ever walked into a bar and immediately wanted to quote Ron Burgundy? No? Maybe that's just me... but, when we walked into the Last Hurrah, I looked at my husband and gave him one of my best: "People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany", and after he rolled his eyes at me, we took a seat at the bar. We wandered into the Omni Parker House after dinner in the area looking for a piece of their legendary Boston Cream Pie and a cocktail and were greeted quickly, but rather icily, by one of their bartenders. C'est la vie, I guess I'm not old enough yet to receive the type of service I witnessed happening around me. Well, either that or he heard me follow up my first RB quote with "I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly..." Whichever, I was not really impressed with their service, and all jokes aside (I really don't think he heard me), I always try to be exceptionally polite, so this really irks me. Their cocktail list is extensive and impressive! I ordered a pumpkin martini that was delicious and a glass of whiskey to top of the night and was very happy with both. My husband went for a rum and after having a brief discussion with the bartender about types, was happy with his selection. We also eventually ordered one of their cream pies (the whole point of being there) but sadly, were kind of disappointed with it. I thought the cake was dry, the nuts around the outside only helped to exacerbate the problem and there was very little cream inside. So yeah, a couple of drinks in and we called it a night. I'm glad we got to see the birth place of Boston's legendary dessert, but I feel like experiencing it once was quite enough for me this lamp loving lady. read more

It had to be done. After watching numerous (okay, at least two) segments on the Food Network paying homage to the original Boston Cream Pie, created at Boston's own Omni Parker House, my roommate and I made the trek to the theater district to give it a try. The actual restaurant was busy and sent us to the Last Hurrah, a hotel bar-cafe, to snag the coveted cake-pie. We stepped into a room Don Draper would be proud of: dimly lit, decently populated on a Thursday night, with cocktails served to clients in mini shakers that could stay at the table. A couple of modern-day touches exist, like the big screen tv playing post season baseball. The service was slow, but did include complimentary water. The prices are reasonable-- 10ish dollars for a cocktail-- and our dessert plates came decorated with the word "boston" written out in delectable chocolate sauce. The pie, you ask? Tasty. Almonds around the side are a nice touch. The cake is the right spongy consistency. I will return, and will most definitely lament that I can't smoke cigars in this old school hotel bar environment. read more

First time visiting Boston and happened to be staying at the Omni.. it was too cold to venture out walking so I decided to stay and eat here. Service was very good my waitress was attentive and very serviceable. I had to try the clam chowder and it was very good. It had just the right amount of potatoes, clams etc. It was just the right consistency. Next course, lamb loaf very good as well full of flavor and the mashed potatoes were great. Lastly, I had the Boston Creme Pie..since I had never had it before I didn't have anything to compare it to but it was okay not exactly my type of dessert but I'm sure that the cult like following that it has can't be wrong, it must then be me. read more

Got the grilled cheese with tomato soup and a side of coleslaw. The tomato soup was very small and the grilled cheese was just okay. The coleslaw was good but I like coleslaw a lot in general. I felt like the coleslaw and soup should have switched dishes for serving size to be worth what the price of $15. What was the most redeeming quality of the atmosphere of the restaurant. Everything has a very strong 1920s feel to it. Dark wood, lots of brass, dim lighting, lots of detail in the furniture, and a generally older clientele as patrons. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of Boston Cream Pie, so I didn't try the "original", but I would say that Last Hurrah is a nice place to just sit and chat over some drinks, especially on a rainy or snowy day. read more

I try to always stay at the Omni Parker House when in town, and the first thing I do after checking in, is head down to the Last Hurrah for a tasty martini! What makes it so great? Well, the bartenders and staff are first rate, the olives and nice and big and fresh, and the bar is big with plenty of chairs...but...I would have to say, it's the hot nuts! Mmmmm - and the good deluxe ones too! read more

Last Hurrah - Hot nuts and martini - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

During my interview in Boston, I found out that the Boston Cream Pie was invented at the Omni Parker House! Next thing to do that day? Go there, of course. Ordered 2 Boston Cream Pies. They were moist and not custard heavy. Since the pies were small, individual pies, it was amazing to have almonds surround the entire pie, having them in almost every bite. Also, the Boston written in chocolate made my touristy heart smile! Although a little pricey at $9 per, I don't mind at all. Only have had 2 BCPs, both in Boston, and this one is far more superior in taste and texture. read more

I was staying locally and decided to stop into the Last Hurrah for a light meal in the bar and a glass of wine. The bar & lounge area is very old and dated. I ordered the French Dip ($19) and a 9 ounce glass of the Oyster Bar Merlot ($13). The bartenders name was Owen and he was pleasant and friendly. My sandwich came out and the appearance of it was laughable. The sandwich maybe had 2 - 3 ounces of meat in it and it looked pitiful. For $19 I would expect that it would be well presented, of good quality, and of a decent size. It fell short in all 3 categories. The sandwich that I was served was maybe worth $8 if that. Bottom line, if your looking for an over priced tourist trap the Last Hurrah is your place. If you're looking for a good quality meal at a reasonable price keep walking. read more

Awesome place for drinks small menu put everything was good. Have to end the meal for the Boston cream pie of course. Kids loved the chicken pot pie. read more

I have been coming to the Parker House for more than 45 years since I was a little girl. The Last Hurrah has become a favorite in the last 20 years. I was back again this week and it did NOT disappoint. Basil Gimlets and a lobster roll that wouldn't stop. First the gimlet, nice and full of basil flavor. Perfectly mixed and served. The lobster roll was FULL of lobster meat and it was more reasonably priced than any other one that I had in the city this week. It was also perfectly seasoned. The roll was crispy and fluffy at the same time. I can't recommend this little spot enough. They underwent a very nice renovation this year as well. read more

Last Hurrah is an excellent spot to pop into for a drink or two and even some snacks. It's very cozy, with its low lighting, dark accents, deep leather couches and regal arm chairs for comfortable lounging and people watching through the windows looking out onto Tremont Street. The service is remarkable - servers are friendly, accommodating and attentive. They have a delicious selection of small bites - tater tot with chili, charcuterie, burrata salad - and the famous Parker House Rolls live up to their reputation. Given the location - both geographic and within an Omni hotel - expect to spend more than your typical bar, but I found the quality to be worth the expense. read more

The best customer service. No doubt that it is on the top of the list to visit while in Boston. Peggy who took care of us has been working there from 30+ yrs. Our drinks were amazing .

For a hotel bar the "Last Hurrah" was a pleasant surprise out of the norm. The staff were so nice, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. We didn't have the food so I can't comment on that part of the establishment. Although I try and avoid hotel bars, TLH was a decision I don't regret at all and would enthusiastically recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming pub. read more

I love hotel bars. They're like a not-so secret secret. Friends I have introduced this bar to, love it. It's old, it's charming, old fashion drinks are hot again and the bartenders know how to make them. There is even a novel titled after this place. A snowy night, come here with some friends and over a whiskey drink, wax about writers Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, and Longfellow getting lit here. (Ok so it was rebuilt in the 1920's but they often came to the hotel bar.) read more

I came here with a couple of friends for some late after-work drinks. I chose The Last Hurrah because I came here once before and had a lovely time. This time, however, was an altogether different experience. Our server, Paul, provided us with deplorable service. We made it known that we planned on getting several drinks and also wanted to order a few small dishes. "Kitchen's closed. But there are restaurants down the street," he curtly responded. We were taken aback, but proceeded to place our order. One of my friends wanted to order 2 things, but Paul obviously felt my friend took too long deciding on the second item because he yanked away our menus to go put in the order. When we asked to keep one menu because we wanted to order multiple drinks, he tossed it on the table and walked away. When Paul eventually returned with our drinks, he slammed down the shakers and bowl of nuts. Drinks and nuts were spilled on us. He left to tend to his other tables and did not acknowledge us the rest of our time there. My friends were offended because the tables next to us did not appear to be receiving the same kind of treatment. We finished our drinks (one of which was wrong) quickly just to get out of there. The only reason we stayed as long as we did was because we could never get Paul to stop to ask for the bill. When he finally graced us with a few moments of his precious time, he tossed down the bill and never returned to our table. Tired of waiting, I took the bill to the bar to close out and leave. We ended up going across the street to Beantown Pub and received better service at this overcrowded collegiate bar. We left The Last Hurrah feeling like we had been profiled in some way. I left embarrassed for having even suggested coming here and felt compelled to apologize for putting my friends through such an experience. I had a nice enough time here on my first visit that I planned on becoming a regular. Needless to say, however, I have zero desire to return here out of fear that Paul is once again my server. read more

Close to being the best name for a bar ever (a change to 'huzzah' would be even more awesome), the Last Hurrah is named after the 1950s politics novel and since the 60s has served as THE drop-in bar for Beacon Hill politicos to do their deals. It's a great bar to go for a relaxed drink in leather seats with a friend. I was here with The Last Tarah and we learned that this place, although cheap, is not that good for The Last Supper - the 10 dollar dishes have a very SYSCO microwaved feel to them. The only thing worth getting is the famous Boston Cream Pie, which they bring out from Parker's next-door. So it's best to head here for The Last Drink. Get those free roasted nuts, hold your whisky in your hand, sink into your chairs and feel time weighing down heavily on you from the ancient Parker House. Huzzah! read more
