Best of Boston

Looking to celebrate your newfound winnings but not quite in the mood for the full-on steakhouse experience at Encore’s Rare? Then the similarly named lounge right next door is a sure-fire bet. After all, the onion dip is topped with caviar, the asparagus is “jumbo,” and the cocktails have names like Lucky Streak and You Only Live Twice. Oh, and if you’re looking for a $225 bourbon (23-year-old Pappy Van Winkle) or a $800 dram of rye (WhistlePig Boss Hog II), consider this your new home away from home.
