    Dinner with a group of 8.

    - charcuterie - ok. good portion. $26 is a bit extreme.
    - spinach dip and calamari appetizers - chain restaurant style version of both.
    - burger - ordered the b and b but had cheddar instead of brie. meat was bland but the spice from the red pepper aioli gave it a surprisingly good kick.

    Group got into town late on a Friday so dining options for such a large group w no reservation were limited. Utilized the 50% off deal that I had. Would not eat here under any other circumstances.

    I've been coming to Bar10 for quite a few years. I've always thought of it as a hidden gem and a quiet spot to enjoy drinks and light fare in the Back Bay. I also understand the irony of treating a hotel bar as a local bar, but please disregard. Last night a friend and I wanted to check out their advertised promotion of a beer flight and wings for $10. We showed up went to order it, but the waitress apologized and said they meant to take down the sign earlier. Despite their oversight (and awkward conversation), she offered to give us the same deal. My buddy ordered the wings deal and I ended up ordering the buffalo chicken flatbread with no leeks (who puts leeks on a buffalo chicken pizza anyway?). As the food came, something didn't look right. After closer inspection, it was in fact a barbecue chicken pizza...not buffalo. I told the waitress this, she then gave me attitude about it, grabbed the pizza and told me she'll bring out the buffalo chicken with no leeks. After waiting another 12 minutes, the flatbread finally came to me...however, with mounds of leeks on it. Very annoying. I picked that gross green stuff off and finally dug in. Decent pizza but the cheese didn't taste too fresh. The bill came and the waitress charged me for the two pizzas. If anything, I thought she would comp the pizza or beer or something. After telling  her of the oversight, she corrected the bill and that was that. Or so I thought. That cheese that didn't taste right totally had it's revenge and made for a terrible night of being sick. Not going back to Bar10 anytime soon. If you're looking for a drink and a relaxing environment in the Back Bay, check it out. Just don't order food.

    I used to work right near here, so we would go sometimes for a work lunch or post-work drinks.  It is a little bit of a hidden gem, because it's in a hotel lobby in the mall, so not too many people seem to know about it.

    The atmosphere is trendy/upscale, with cozy sofas and chairs.  The menu is pretty limited - mostly upscale bar bites. Their flatbreads are delicious, especially the one with goat cheese and greens.

    Enjoyed this place when we went here for New Year's.  Not overcrowded and a plus no cover.  Drinks are hotel bar prices but they definitely had a heavy hand!  They had a dj for the night and a lot of seating which I was impressed with.  

    The bartenders are speedy and there is a huge mix and age range (hence it's a hotel bar).  I think this is a great place to grab an after dinner drink or start the night.

    This bar is sort of hidden in the Westin at Copley. I only realized it was there when I was searching for Fogo de Chao. My friend and I were looking for a place we could have some drinks and hang out and bar 10 was the perfect spot. Nice couches and chairs to sit at and overall the noise level is pretty low. The only thing was that yes it is pricey. My friend and I were surprised at the end when we got our bill. Ooops! Our cocktails ran between $13-$14, but the beers weren't too bad  at $6 or $7 a pop. We also had the calamari and artichoke dip. Both were very good and nice portions.

    Super secret bar...in the middle of the mall!

    I've been Winter walking through Copley mall since 2009,
    but only happened upon Bar 10, in the Weston Hotel,
    because they were hosting a charity event there.

    This tiny tavern is tucked away from mall traffic,
    hidden around the corner from the hotel lounge.
    The leather couches are lovely high backs,
    and the atmosphere is very chill and classy.
    (I would take my Mistress there on any given night.)

    THE DEAL:  Want some privacy?  This is the place!

    Convenient place to grab a $7 beer or $12 mixed drink and have it charged to your room, if you're into that kind of thing. We sat up at the bar and loaded up on some complimentary honey pretzel bites to accommodate (until we realized we were going to dinner soon and had to push those away).

    I stopped in after work this past Friday for drinks with friends, and had a great experience! I was feeling fancy so I tried the Flirtini. It was expensive at $14 but so worth it! It was really delicious and pretty strong too.

    The ambiance here is classy but relaxed, the chairs are super comfy too. I'll definitely stop here again when I feel like having a fancy drink!

    My new hangout in the back bay...the bar is located in the lobby of the Westin Copley and the crowd is pretty cool.

    They have good drinks and the bartenders are pretty flexible when it comes to making drinks that aren't on the menu.

    Try to get a table if you can or just sit on the high tops near the bar- either way you'll have fun!

    Super fancy appearance, poor drink pouring that was my experience with Bar 10. We were staying at the Copley Westin Place which is a very nice hotel. This is essentially the hotel bar. After a nice dinner out we decided to stop in for a night cap. While the atmosphere was very peaceful and nice the drink was not so much. I didn't even ask for a fancy drink it was something off of their menu that I have had before at other bars but it was almost undrinkable. I would expect that they used high quality alcohol since the drinks are pretty pricey, but it tasted as though it was made with a once charcoal filtered vodka.

    If you decide to go I'd say to stick with something from the tap.

    Located inside the Westin Copley Place, one of the nicest and most sophisticated hotels in the somewhat decent city of Boston, I came here because a friend wanted to get some good drinks with some people. Since this bar is located inside a hotel, do not expect the drinks to have any great value, but you should have a lot of money in your hand and you should have the mind of "someone who splurges" rather than someone who tends to be "thrifty".

    When I walked into this place, I did not feel like I was in Boston. Rather, it felt like I was in a sophisticated bar in either New York City, Toronto, San Francisco, London, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Shanghai or even in Hong Kong. So this is not a bad choice if you want to go someplace that is sophisticated. However, the clientele that seems to come to this place can be really sophisticated or they can be the "epitomes" of the "typical Americans." So you may find a fairly diverse range of people.  

    Beers are going to be fairly expensive since this place is inside a sophisticated hotel. Be prepared to spend at least $7 for a Heineken or a Stella Artois. I liked how when they served the Heineken, they also provided a nice and cold glass so you could pour your bottle of beer.

    As for cocktails, the ladies in my friend's party seem to enjoy them. One of the ladies said to me that she like the mojito they have here. On a whim, I decided get a Mai Tai. It was a really juicy and really sweet drink. Did not detect much alcohol content. The cherry they provide on this cocktail is going to be a "fake cherry" so don't expect any fresh juicy fruits as a garnish for your cocktail unless the fruit is an orange. Cocktails are also going to be fairly expensive. Be prepared to spend at least $13-14 on a glass.

    As for food, they serve this tasty pretzel-like snack. It's really addicting to eat and a great complement to the drinks.

    Interior is really comfortable, seats are soft, and if you relax yourself a little more, the seats could be comfortable enough to actually fall asleep in after a long day. Music is not too loud, so it does give a little soft ambiance. Service is okay, the people are fairly nice. If you are looking for a server or bartender that's gorgeous, this is definitely not a good option.

    Overall, this is not a bad choice to spend a lot of money on some decently good drinks, and need a "tiny sophisticated escape from Boston" though I would not come here for the beer but more for the comfort.

    I don't go to Bar 10 too often, but it's one of those places that I go to, and then say, "Why don't I come here more often??"  I love that it's loungy, but there's more of a casual and relaxed feel to it.  It's not loud and crowded like many other trendy hotel bars. There is a long table in the bar area for the social butterflies, however, my favorite are the tables down the middle of the place.  You can put 2 tables together for seating for 4, and you each have your own leather chair to sit in.

    There aren't any drinks of food that really stand out, so don't expect to be wowed, but ambiance-wise, I love it as a chill place to sit down and catch up with a few friends for drinks and apps after work-

    Nice desserts
    Good drinks
    Great place for a date

    When you come here on a co-worker social, the place is awesome, not too crowded, chic, relaxed lounge.  However, we stopped by here on Saturday night and the place was pretty dead.  

    On bright the bright side me and my friends were able to score the curtain private room VIP style.  Only it was VIP style curtains without the VIP service.  The waitress took our first round of drinks.  My old fashioned seem to have turned into an old fashionISTA instead with Sprite spritzer oddly added to the mix that was just not how i intended to roll that night.  

    Then the waitress seems to have forgotten she was serving us for the next 2 hours until finally we chased her down so we can pay and leave.  

    So fail on the drinks, fail on the service and fail and the complete and utter emptiness of the bar on a Saturday finally above freezing weather night.

    I'm going to consider this one another conflicted review, but I REALLY enjoyed my drink and the food was also good, so I feel it would be mean to short-change them.  But the negatives just outweighed the good things that happened here, so what would have been a four-star review in a perfect world is actually just a two-star review.

    I'll start with the good.  I had the berry mojito (or some permutation of that name) and it was fantastic.  I want to marry this drink.  I really enjoyed the mix of strawberry, mint, lime, and lemon that was in there.  I drank it relatively fast, and needed another one.

    As with many drinking experiences, it's usually a great idea to grab some food.  This is where things started to go downhill... fast.

    So... time for the not-so-good.

    Our server wasn't very attentive.  Despite our sitting in the couch area right near the bar where she'd walk past us frequently... rarely did she stop to ask if we needed anything.  We sat and waited for around a half hour to even put in a food order.  We were there drinking, so it's not as if we were in a rush, but when you haven't eaten most of the day, that's a LONG time to wait for your order to be placed.  And it throws off your food-induced sobriety balance.  First you start getting louder, then you knock things over.  Utter mayhem.  Luckily it took the server so long to even notice our glasses were empty, there was no chance whatsoever to have the scales tip toward inebriation.

    Needing to be gluten free, I should have been a little wary of the server's unwillingness to find answers for me.  I generally have the rule of thumb that if they can't answer questions, I won't eat there.  However, with as long as she was taking I opted for the safest-looking thing I could find on the menu: spinach and artichoke dip with veggie chips.  

    Prior to ordering the food I asked if the mojitos were gluten free, and if she could just do a quick check for me.  Blank stare.  OK, so I realize rum should be gluten free, but what if they're using some cheap Christmas Tree Shop mojito mixer?  I didn't want to take the chance.  But rather than walk the three steps to the bar to ask, she just looked at me and said "it's strawberries, mint, lime, and rum"..... yeah.  That doesn't always help.  So I asked, found out they were safe.

    Again, it took a while for her to even come back after dropping off the menus.  I asked if the spinach and artichoke dip was gluten free, and again... blank stare.  Like I was completely offending her by asking her questions that are the difference between sickness and health for me.  I asked if she knew what was in it, and she said she could take away the pita chips.  Good start.  But when I asked if she could ask the kitchen, she again reiterated that she could take away the pita chips and it should be OK.  Apparently asking the kitchen would have been very inconvenient for her.

    Now, actually ordering it AND eating it despite not knowing if it was safe is my fault.   The signs were there, and I didn't heed them.  So I can't blame the server or Bar 10 for my stupidity or how sick I am and will be the next three days, but I can be upset that  that this happened.   Again, totally my fault because I ordered without having the answer.  I don't blame them for that.  I do maybe a little blame them for what I'm interpreting as their not encouraging staff to take customer's food allergies seriously.

    That being said, I do wish to impress upon her the importance of actually finding out this information for people with allergies.  It might be an extra walk and a pain in the ass, but if you don't know, you REALLY shouldn't guess.   If I'm going out of my way to tell you that something as simple as a crumb or cooking something in the same oil as something breaded could make me sick for days, it should be taken seriously.  Please, please, please take the extra five minutes to figure it out.   Your tip will be bigger, I promise.

    Had the service been better as a whole, I would have gone up to the third star.  All it would have taken was her popping maybe two more times in as she walked by, asking to fill our water glasses or if we needed another drink.  We literally had to flag her down for refills or even to order.  And most of the time she told us she'd be back before she'd even take the order.

    Had the server actually taken the time to stress the importance of there not being any traces of gluten in, on, or near my food to the people in the kitchen, or had she found out for me that there was no chance for that to happen, I think this visit would have easily been at least four stars for me-- the drink was that good!  And for that matter, the food was that good as well!

    I just think that the server's lack of attention as a whole was inexcusable.  And every time I have to take a break from writing this to puke, I get more and more angry.   I'll try again, but only to drink.  Not to eat.

    I was having a bad day so a friend suggested we meet for a drink at Bar 10.  I had never been and was in desperate need of a drink so I agreed.  Although it's in a hotel, it is not a typical "hotel bar".  The decor is classy, the lights are low,  and there is no television.  The fact they have no tv is reason enough for me to recommend it.   It almost reminds me of a larger (less intimate) version of City Bar in Copley.

    I can only comment on the drinks and appetizers, but would give both a 4 or 4.5.  The appetizers are definitely large enough to share.  I think this is a good place to go with girlfriends for an after work drink or on a date as long as you are aware that you may be faced with a lot of tourists--it is in Copley Place after all.

    I may have my drunken goggles on, or maybe it's because everyone there is so dressed up, but  everyone seems to be attractive in this place. Seeing men in suits and women in cocktail dresses always makes me wanna hang out for longer, especially on a Saturday night.

    The crowd here is probably on the  mature side --youngest at late 20s, oldest  at late 50s. Everyone appeared to be well-dressed and enjoying themselves.

    Their drinks are STRONG, but at $14 for a cocktail and $10 for beer, they better be. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the place.

    Came here with some friends a few times. Sat at bar as well as have been seated. Tons of amazing starters. Great drink and always a good crowd.

    Nice to valet at the mall. If you hit the place early in the evening you might still be able to do some shopping in the mall.

    There was a time when I loved Bar 10. At that time I was dating this boy, who was way too pretty for me, and it was his favorite spot. Unfortunately, the clientele is not as hip as it once was. The beautiful young'uns have moved onto other places, leaving behind overweight middle age white guys, trying to pull off a blue blazer with their ill fitting jeans. Oh sure you will occasionally see some fantastic Euro trashy men, but it is far and few in between.

    Okay about the place itself, the location is great right in the mall/hotel and centrally located in between the South End and Back Bay. I love their fruity cocktails, and especially love that they serve them in sensible glasses. (Martini glasses for cocktails is one of my biggest pet peeves.)

    Bar-10 has a chic/trendy vibe - shuttered windows darken the room so it feels a lot later than it actually is. Perhaps this is their sneaky way of making you feel ok about drinking a botte of wine at 5:00 pm (whatever - it worked). There are yummy bowls of complimentary snack mix (slightly spicy - but very good). I had a gin and tonic (mixed well) and the service was very friendly.

    I went back for a work event a couple nights later and they offered us the "private" room in the back which was very tight and cramped for 50 people. However, the bartender was on his game and the waitresses hit up every corner of the packed room to make sure we all had drinks.

    Will definitely go again.

    I'm a fan of Bar 10.  It was a central location to meet up with my friends for drinks, and we were able to get a table with comfy chairs, even on a busy night.  Everyone had already eaten dinner, but the food on their menu looked really good.

    I had a couple of raspberry mojitos that were delicious.  They seemed to have a good selection of beer and wine, too.  

    I liked the vibe of Bar 10, and it was a welcome departure from some of the loud bars around Boylston packed with 20-somethings.  I'd come back again.

    Recently Bar 10 was visited by a drunk monkey

    That monkey might have been me.

    This turned out to be a perfect starting place for a big group to gather to buy me some drinks for my birthday. (monkey is OLD)

    'Some drinks' turned into a lot of drinks - and therefore was also an ending place, as we made it until the ugly lights came on

    It's big enough, dark enough, loungey enough, and void of most of the douchiness of other comparable bars - so it gets good marks.

    It's pricey and some of the waitstaff can be pushy, but in an efficient way (read: sadly there was little lag time between drinks.  Read: part of the cause for monkey drunky)

    I wish bars like this existed in hotels I stay at on the road.

    I often forget this bar is here, I'm not exactly sure why.  It has a dark, sexy vibe, sleek and stylish. It has a typical hotel lounge type of feel, with decent drinks and a good place to have a couple.  The staff are pretty nice but service can be a bit slow.  The crowd is alright - nothing bad about them, but nothing that draws me to it either - and I have seen my fair share of cougars lurking around for their latest financial-esque toyboy here from time which usually makes me feel awkward since that's not really my scene. But aside from that, it's fine.  

    Overall, I like this place but it''s not usually a spot I'd think of when thinking of going out for the night - there are many other spots I'd head to first instead with more of a draw in their atmosphere.

    Bar 10 is located in the Westin Copley Place. It's swank- warm, dark colors, very stylish, and yet doesn't feel snooty. It's a great place to come with your gal pals for cocktails or a glass of wine (great reds, big glasses!). I haven't had the food here so I can't review it. When I'm here I feel very relaxed. Lots of soft places to sit and flattering lighting (lots of candles) and there are gorgeous private rooms in the back. They also have a private area in the bar they close off with willowy white curtains- so tasteful.

    Not a place to come if you want a yah-dood bar experience.

    Bar 10 is like the Maryanne of sexy/intimate bars....Not as sexy as Ginger, but still darn cute

    We were here on a Saturday night. It didn't start to get busy until around 10:30pm, probably. I like that it's dark, the music isn't toooo loud. I like that I probably won't run into anyone I don't want to see there, as the crowd must differ a lot due to the hotel guests. The bartenders are attentive, even though they had just put out a new drink list and weren't quite sure how to make everything 100% yet. I would go back, because I have liked my nights to be more laid back than I used to in my younger days.

    Havent tried the food. Will do that next time.

    Laidback. Likeable but not lovable.

    I came here during the week with a few coworkers and thought Bar 10 was pretty laidback and chill.  The drinks and food are both fairly above average and the prices are well, Boston.  One can tell that Bar 10 is aiming at sophistication and chic, but the oddish, almost retro looking ceiling lights rub me the wrong way.

    Bar 10 is a good place to dwell in anonymity with a good companion and drink in hand.  I haven't quite decided if I like it or not but Bar 10 has a rather subdued sort of character that can easily be taken to be bland.  It's not really the sort of place that particularly appeals to me because of the hotel-y feel it had to it, but I can imagine it as a good place to go for a quiet evening out.

    Bar 10 is located on the second floor of the Westin Hotel so you will need to either take the escalator or elevator to it. You can not find it from the street and you definitely may need to ask someone to get their.

    It consists of a nice large bar with about 15 stools and high table seating adjacent to it; very comfortable couch and lounge type seating in the remaining space. Atmosphere is contemporary modern in shades of browns; nice mix of dimmed lights and lamps.

    The food menu is limited to flat bread pizzas, sandwiches, salads and some desserts all of which are better quality than most neighborhood bars and most hotel lounge bars.

    The mix of people are hotel guest, tourist, business types, all late twenties to late forty. Definitely not a college hang out. Great for conversation and relaxing.

    The cocktail and bar staff are uniformed in black and are all professional. A full wine list, martini list and four beers on tap as well as bottles.

    Parking is available though the hotel or if you are shopping at Copley Place just walk over though the connecting bridge.

    Bar 10 is one of my favorite places for cocktails.  My favorite is the flirtini.  I don't ever eat here- the food is not amazing and very expensive.  I absolutely love the people watching.  It's great to grab a corner table with a friend and just observe.
    If you're not sure what libation to get, ask your waiter for suggestions.  They're pretty friendly and down to earth.

    Bar 10 had massive potential when it first opened up in '99. If you are involved in the Boston hospitality scene, then you surely know that story of the infamous Gwen Butler. Yes, this is the same Gwen Butler who got the 2 million dollar tip and sunk it into an ill-fated restaurant that never took off (she was royally screwed by trusted friends). Yes, this the same Gwen Butler who went to Eastern Standard, quarreled with the management, and exposed it all on a famous Boston restaurant blog. Gwen is a trip and a half, but she really is a fantastic person. I love Gwen to death and always have. She was one of the best managers that I've ever worked for. More than any boss in my career, she knew when not to sweat the small stuff; her first concern was for the customer's experience.

    I didn't mean to get off on a tangent there, but Gwen was the original manager of Bar 10 back in '99. It was a marvelous opportunity for Gwen, for the Westin, and for those of us who were lucky enough to work for her. In those days the bar was sleek and sexy, having replaced the old shitty 10 Huntington horseshoe. It really exemplified the lounge vibe that was going through major cities at the time (and that formula is somewhat played out by this point...ooh, look, a red velvet banquette and deep house music. This place is like so sex-ay. *yawn*)

    The food was always good and still is. The service was always good and still is. However, these are the only good carryovers from the old chaotic opening days. The furniture is still the same and shows its age, despite having been repaired and reconditioned many times. The new extension is a welcome relief to those who'd have to wait for a table for ages, but the atmosphere is just as others have described: it's trying so hard to be sexy and chic while entertaining Chemical Club reps from the Midwest or dentist conferences. There are still an appropriate number of poofy Boston lounge people, but they're getting a bit long in the tooth while sipping on their overpriced martinis.

    In short, Bar 10 never became what it was meant to be. It could have been a real powerhouse in the Boston scene, but Gwen was reduced to figurehead status by Frank Caliguire, then manager of the Westin and she left in disgust. Working there was exciting because we were all part of something new and different. Sadly, it fell flat and never recovered. Today's Bar 10 is good and is still run by people dedicated to making sure that the guest has a good experience, but when I go there, I'm just sad about the old days.

    (My favorite memory, by the way, is of hosting the day that Julia Child came in to eat. She was just lovely.)

    As for Gwen, I hope that she's having better luck in New York.

    Pretty much everyone has said it. Just wanted to detail further on a few things.

    People: 2 kinds - wedding crashers and after work drinkers who average late 20's late 30's.

    Music: Great lounge (deep house, house, easy listening underground)

    Place: Excellent location, in the Westin hotel @ Copley Place.

    Price: Random Boston prices. $15  for a Martini, $7 for a rum and coke

    Definitely an all time favorite place of mine...  Something about the atmosphere is very attractive.  Good cocktails and great food too.

    They also just completed a very large expansion of its size a number of months ago, hopefully making it easier to get a table on the busier nights.

    I'm a little biased because this place is not my style, but my friend took me here on a low-key Thursday night. It was dimly lit and has a red glow because the sconces (wow that's the plural for sconce?) were reflecting off the red walls.

    It wasn't packed, but most of the tables were filled with professional-looking people. A guy at the table next to ours drunkenly knocked his martini glass over and broke it, but no one made a fuss or cheered. The waiter just walked by and cleaned it up.  The music wasn't too loud, nor did it merit comment aside from the volume.

    We ordered a mixed drink with Stohli ($8) and a pomegranate martini ($13), both of which were excellent, strong, and well-mixed. They set out a little ashtray-sized bowl of mixed nuts as well. I liked that.

    It was nice, if you like being bored.

    I've been here a few times now, and each time, I've had a great time. It's a good place to meet friends for drinks/apps/dinner, I personally like it b/c it's super close to work.

    I like the dark lounge-y vibe of the place, the dark fabrics, low lighting, comfy chairs and benches to sit in/on. The music is really a bit too loud though.

    The food has always been terrific here. We had calamari last night, cooked perfectly. Not greasy, the batter was light and not overdone at all. The red pepper/pesto sauce served with it was great. I had the chicken fusili pasta last night, amazing. The pasta was homemade (not sure if by the Westin, or a local vendor), and the parmesan sauce was creamy and delicious. My friend had the cod, which was tender and flaky. Overall, a great dinner.

    Their wine list is decent, they carry one kind that we both just love (Ravenswood Lodi Zinfandel), so we didn't really look beyond that. We had to skip dessert so I could catch my train, but it looked great, will have to make time next time!

    The prices are a little higher than I'd like for an after work drinks & apps place, but it's a lot better than the many fried and typical app options you'll find at most of the other choices in the area. I'll definitely be back again.

    Another hotel bar that I like.  
    I like the vibe and the wine list.  I've only done drinks so I can't say anything about their food, but it's a place that I can definitely unwind at.

    Its a hotel bar. Oh, they may try and pretend that they are a hip, happen, boston-cool kinda place....but this is a hotel bar.

    Thank God 90% of the patrons wear "Hi, My Name Is Bob" nametags (from whatever dental conference they're in town for at the time), because otherwise you'd never hear their names over the thump-thump-thump jukebox music.

    WHAT??! I'M SORRY! WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?

    Swanky yet low key.  Waitstaff and bartenders make you feel at home and welcome whether you just walked in for one drink when the place is jam-packed or if you popped in to spend the night here.  

    For cozy snuggling with someone special, arrive before 10pm.  There are ample nooks for sitting close.
    For a night out with the crowd arrive after 10 and stay toward the large high top tables and long wide bar.

    Bar 10 has a creative martini menu, fit for all tastes.  It lists everything from a classic dirty martini (served ice cold) to a blueberry muffin (blueberry stoli, vanilla brandy and white chocolate gidiva liqueur).  

    If there's something you particularly crave that's not on the menu, they'll make it.

    This bar carries all the good old comfy standard liquor plus some new and edgy more hip and trendy alcohol and mixers (think white cranberry juice).

    Drinks are pricey but generous.  Food is moderately priced for this type of venue.  Good choices and the bar serves a spicy snack mix a la Bonfire earlier in the night.

    Bar 10 doesn't quite do it for me.  Let me start by saying that the room is well-decorated and comfortable.  There is quite a bit of leather and many a muted color to soothe the eyes.  You enter into a bar area that is cleverly set up with several central hang-out spots besides the bar itself, a configuration that is relaxed and lends itself to socialization.

    Beyond this area is the seating, which is again a moderately posh feel.  The cocktail list is appealing.  I have not taken a close look at the menu yet.

    Essentially Bar 10 suffers from being in the Westin in several ways.  First, the crowd is very uneven.  I'm all for rooting for the Red Sox, but not in this setting and because of the central tourist location, you'll find all sorts of people who clash with your idea of fabulous lounging.

    Secondly some of the staff here have social skills equivalent to the gentleman who you pay to retrieve your car when it's been towed to some far-off lot in the city's underbelly.  Minus the glass window.

    In summary, Bar 10 makes a mean drink, but the climate doesn't suit me.  It's in the same building as Osushi, Palm and Turner Fisheries.   If you were on this block and in need of a stiff cocktail, Top of the Hub is close, as are Bomboa and 33.

    GREAT cocktail and wine list to choose from - they even describe how the wine drinks on the menu. Haven't tried the food but the friends I was with really liked their salads and pizza. Seating is low and comfortable, great for a group of four or five to sit down and catch up.
    My one issue was with the music - they turned it up like we were in a club or something. Really not necessary. We all had to yell to one another.
    Try the sangria. Tastes like grown up Kool Aid!
