  • This sleek, modern lounge has quickly made a name for itself among cocktail aficionados for its addictive espresso martini.

  • A beer drinker’s paradise, Bukowski counts 100 varieties of suds. Its primary patrons are a professional crowd during the day and young hipsters at night.

  • Professional athletes, models, and local professionals are drawn to Daisy’s for its friendly, casual vibe.

  • Boston’s outpost of the hegemonic rock ’n’ roll café has all the memorabilia you would expect, along with a hopping after-work bar scene. Thursdays bring local rock bands.

  • The fifties were never so cool as they seem at this retrostyled lounge, pool hall, and bowling alley buried downstairs next to the Hynes Convention Center.

  • Rattlesnake’s roof deck hosts one of Boston’s most boisterous after-work crowds. Dress is always casual, and people are always mingling.

  • Cheap, hearty pub grub and occasional drink specials lure college kids to this two-story bar and grill. It’s loud, it’s crowded, and you’re bound to make a friend or two.

  • Top of the Hub Lounge

    Talk about a view: 52 stories above Back Bay, this bar dazzles with sweeping views, live jazz, and a wicked gin martini.

  • Slick bi-level Vox gets things right with a post-work dining scene. But after 8pm, the drink denizens pack in four-deep to the well-stocked bar.

  • You better have ID in hand before putting pint to mouth at this lively bar. It’s full of hard-drinking collegiate types, who arrive around 6pm and stay until last call.
