More Hotel Bar Drinking Than You'll Probably Ever Want to Do

Watering holes in the Charles Hotel

Lucky you, staying at the Charles Hotel [One Bennett St., Harvard Sq., Cambridge. 617.864.1200. charleshotel.com]; there's a great night of drinking ahead of you, and you don't even need to leave the property. Start at Rialto [617.661.5050. rialto-restaurant.com] and treat yourself to some fried olives ($4) and a Laila made with brandy, rose cognac liqueur, a dash of bitters and fresh orange juice.

MAKE YOUR OWN COCKTAIL

Mixology made easy

Leaf through the pages of the Savoy Cocktail Book or Mr. Boston, and it's easy to feel intimidated by the idea of coming up with a cocktail all by yourself.

OLOFFSON’S PUNCH

Hospitality for Haiti

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake; over 1.5 million left homeless; as many as 200,000 dead.

The Seelbach

Follow Fitzgerald's example

There's just something about The Great Gatsby: the gilded, glamorous, Jazz-era setting, the rich, drunk characters—as decadent as modern-day reality show stars.
