Bar Fellini

Bar Fellini is inside the InterContinental Boston on Atlantic Avenue, near Fort Point Channel. The Italian-inspired cocktail lounge has low lighting, upholstered seating, and arches, with a drinks menu that puts martinis and negronis front and center. It’s a place to settle in over a cocktail before dinner or stay for another round with something to eat.

Food follows the aperitivo approach: boards of meats and cheeses, bruschetta, olives, and other small bites to share. Italian wines and New England beers give you alternatives to spirits. The emphasis is on drinks and conversation, so it makes sense for a date or a catch-up when a full restaurant meal isn’t the plan.
