    Five stars on Yelp indicates a rating of "great" and I give that to the Liberty Bar because of the people who work there. I often stop at the bar to wait for medical appointments next door or for a snack after my appointments. The bartenders are always extremely hospitable. Nick, Colin and Justin and the rest of the crew always go out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome even though I am not running up a huge bill. Both E.J. and Dave were also outstanding and although I met Chelsea only once, she did an excellent job. The hotel is lucky to have these people on their payroll representing it to the public in a city with so many nice places to go. It is a it pricey and I think there should be more variety on the menu.

    The upside down Christmas trees are cool, yes. But is a bud light worth $9 and does an old fashioned realllly need to be $23? Seems a little aggressive for a hotel bar. I get it... the vibe! Only hotel guests are allowed on the catwalk but outsiders can drink and dine on the overpriced selection at the main bar and a few other restaurants on site.

    Came here for a happy hour last week and enjoyed the ambiance and history of the Liberty hotel having been a converted jail! The drink was spot on -- loved the passion fruit flavor of the Crime of Passion, and their sweet potato fries were fresh and tasty! The only downside is that drinks are pretty expensive--their cocktails are $21 and an old fashioned is $23. If you don't mind the prices, it's a nice place to grab a drink and a snack!

    I came here for a drink on a Friday evening before going out to have dinner. I sat outside patio at their bar area. I had a martini that was delicious. The service was good.

    This place is pretty cool. A little quiet due to the chilly, cold, wet weather that Boston is presenting to us now. Otherwise, good music, good apps and good drinks.

    New Year's Eve! Dog barking non stop for 2 hours! $900 for the night? Great stay? Don't stay here

    This is my favorite hotel and bar in Boston. I have to come for work, but the liberty makes it worth the trip.

    Had 3 drinks before we got there. Assumed my friend was wasted and did not allow us in. Ridiculous.

    Excellent views and ambience. Friendly professional staff, and very nice menu. Great drinks…read more Conversations with other patrons is very knowledgeable and enjoyable. Everything is done "top notch ". Whether you are a traveler or a local, it can be either a special night out, or a regular place to frequent. Extra munchies are an added plus. Everything is slightly higher priced, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. I have been coming here for decades...since the old Ritz Carlton days, and still appreciate the revolution of this lovely spot.

    We visited on January 11th, a few weeks prior to my wedding. This was a day I had planned for…read moremonths with my daughter and future stepdaughter, an important and meaningful occasion, and the experience fell significantly below expectations. In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.

    My friend hosted her birthday party here and it turned out to be a fun night. We had a reserved…read moretable for dinner, which I figured would be more intimate. But our table was in the main bar off to the side, so it was chaotic but fun. I do wish it was more private but it was still fun, just loud. Our waitress was really nice and did well with our large party. Their menu is mostly apps and smaller plates, so if you're looking more for a large meal this is not your spot. I got the nashville hot mozzarella sticks which were actually pretty good, I liked the tomato relish they put on top and the ranch was really good. Dive Bar Diva was my cocktail which was pretty good. My friends seemed to like their drinks and bar bites. After dinner we went upstairs to the club and got to skip the line (thankfully). The line for the club wraps around the building down the street most nights, so we got lucky. Dance floor is upstairs and it's pretty small, just one room. There were two DJs that night, and the music was really good. Bar was fun, they handed out free chicken tenders at one point and were squirting shots into peoples mouths out of gatorade bottles. It was awesome. Bathroom line upstairs for women was crazy, only one bathroom and it took a long line. I suggest going downstairs... but at least you'll see the famous cheetah print walls! I will say trying to get in contact with the reservation staff was difficult but finally they answered after days of my friends and I trying.
