Descent Is Opening Underneath the W Hotel in Boston's Theatre District

A new cocktail lounge is getting ready to open in Boston, and it is located underneath a hotel in the downtown area of the city.

According to Thrillist Boston, Descent is planning to open tomorrow below the W Boston Hotel on Stuart Street in the Theatre District. An earlier article from UrbanDaddy indicates that the lounge will have a sleek, modern look, with a 40-foot bar along with pewter banquettes in the back. Handcrafted cocktails will be offered at Descent, and patrons will have the chance to do some dancing, with DJ's "remixing the hottest sounds," according to Descent's Facebook page.

[October 28 update: Descent will not be opening today. We will post another update once we get word when the lounge will open its doors.]

[November 18 update: According to Eater Boston, Descent is currently having a soft opening. More details on a grand opening should be coming soon, so keep checking back for updates.]

The W Boston Hotel is also home to Market by Jean-Georges, an upscale restaurant that is known in part for having a three-star Michelin chef behind it.

The address for Descent (as well as the W Boston Hotel) is 100 Stuart Street, Boston, MA, 02116. Their website can be found at http://www.descentwboston.com/
