Jurys Boston Hotel
There's many a spot in Back Bay that pull in a varied crowd, but Cuffs Irish Bar, located in Jurys Boston Hotel, the old Boston Police Headquarters, pulls in three distinct groups of people, all worth checking out when you need a libation. But about the bar itself... It's pretty impressive, wide open, with a fantastic water-themed entryway that feels sophisticated and comfortable. It also manages to be an attractive hot spot for the post-shift restaurant-industry crew who slowly fill in as they get released from the many local eateries. The first two groups I was referring to are the recently-released cube monkeys and CEOs for that all-important 5:01 pm booze run. The third group might be the most interesting. As Jurys is a hotel, there's always a few tourists sitting at the bar and discussing what to do next in the city. For some reason, they end up sitting at the bar for long hours eager to talk to the locals and find out what their next stop should be. They provide drinks, great conversation, and if you get smashed, a room to sleep. Check in.
