The Good Life

Come experience a different side of Boston nightlife

  • New Downstairs Lounge
  • Classy and Contemporary
  • Great Live Music

Boston's new Good Life has become a classy, but contemporary, place to meet new people, socialize and hear great live music in the heart of Boston's financial district. The bar and restaurant has recently been renovated and put under new ownership. Our venue is no longer an old school martini lounge, rather you'll find an up scale sleek lounge with great ambiance. Our rooms our stylish and comfortable with rotating art work from local artist throughout the city. Our menu is American - International bistro with traditional dishes and special seasonal cooking. The downstairs lounge has been revamped into a high end frozen vodka bar.

Say goodbye to the old dark dingy downstairs space and welcome the new posh high end frozen vodka bar. The lounge features over 90 different vodka's which are served in ice cold freezers. Every martini and vodka drink served is like no other in the country.

Editorial Review for The Good Life – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Those familiar with The Good Life as a swinging ode to the Sinatra and martini era are surprised to see that the establishment, under new management, has pulled a 180. Local artwork, an upscale vodka bar and contemporary live bands and DJs combine to yield a wholly different atmosphere than that of its predecessor. Downtown workers fill up on modern comfort faves like grilled Cuban sandwiches, mac-and-cheese and grilled salmon.

I have only been here for lunch with co-workers but I had a great time! The atmosphere is nice..good location and great food. The waitstaff was pleasant and attentive. I was weary to order what was called a hommus sandwich but it was low-carb with tons of flavor! The fries are good too.

This place was NOT what I expected. The pictures failed to leave out the paneling that covers most of the walls. The so-called Vodka Bar downstairs felt more like I was stepping into my own basement. Small and crowded, you couldn't even move. The music was horrible. I felt way too overdressed, and I was only wearing jeans. I couldn't quite pinpoint the type of crowd. There was an array of low-maintenance people with no sense of style. The martinis were pretty good, but I doubt that I will ever return.

Pros: decent drinks

Cons: atmosphere, people

Sleek downtown lounge's name endures, but everything else has changed.  See the full editorial review.
