Back Bay · Speakeasy

Blind Duck

You genuinely don't even have to leave the building for this one, just take the elevator up and climb the spiral stairs to a door marked like a fire exit. The view over Back Bay at night with a seasonal cocktail in hand is a great way to kick off the trip or close out a night.
