NOIR
About
Noir is a chic, cozy cocktail bar in the lobby of The Charles Hotel in Harvard Square, designed to evoke the warm, decadent feel of 1940s nightlife. The French-inspired drinks program uses premium spirits and house-made ingredients, mixing classics alongside signature creations such as butter-washed gin with Granny Smith apple. Food & Wine has named it among the best for nightlife.
The seasonal menu offers bites suited to a late afternoon snack or late-night meal, from caviar and raw bar items to baba ganoush, mussels with hand-cut fries and a ziti Bolognese. A list of aperitifs, sherries and vermouths adds range to the cocktail menu. The bar is a natural spot to meet after work, before a show, or to wind down at the end of a busy evening.
