Emerald Lounge Is Opening within the New Revere Hotel in Boston's Back Bay

A new bar is coming to the Back Bay of Boston, opening within a soon-to open independent hotel.

According to The Boston Globe and Eater Boston, the Emerald Lounge is going to be opening within the Revere, a new hotel on Stuart Street near Park Plaza and a short distance south of the Boston Common. The Revere will be taking over the former Radisson hotel, while the bar will move into the space where the Theatre Cafe used to be. It appears that the Emerald Lounge will be quite a bit different from the Theatre Cafe, as the Globe article mentions that the Theatre Cafe's "red leather booths and chicken club sandwiches" will be replaced by "industrial light sculptures, DJs, and artisanal cheese plates"

Expect an April opening for both the Emerald Lounge and the Revere hotel.

[April 17 update and CORRECTION: Eater Boston is reporting that the Revere Hotel is opening to the public tomorrow, but the Emerald Lounge may not be opening for another week or two.]

[June 4 update: Thrillist Boston is reporting that the Emerald Lounge will open this Thursday (June 7).]

The address for this new hotel and lounge is 200 Stuart Street, Boston, MA, 02116.
