Roxanne’s

Roxanne’s is a cocktail bar on Beacon Street near the State House, with a lounge setting and a menu of small plates and snacks. Cocktails are the focus, but beer and wine are available if that’s your order. It suits a drinks-first evening when you’d like something to eat without building the whole night around dinner.

The bar is 21 and older, and reservations are strongly recommended. Make one if you have a particular time in mind, especially when arranging a date or meeting friends before another stop downtown. The address is 6B Beacon Street, close to the Common and Park Street station. Check the current menu for drinks and food rather than expecting a particular cocktail to stay on the list indefinitely.
