Editorial reviews from the web (5)

Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn would feel at their ease in this nightspot in the Charles Hotel, with its sexy after-hours feel. Sink back into a voluptuous black-leather couch, sip a sultry drink, and cloak yourself in an air of mystery. Wear evening or casual attire. There's a small bites and snack menu.

Late-night tipplers "not ready to turn off the lights" and in the mood for an "intimate meet-up" head to this "sophisticated" bar in Harvard Square's Charles Hotel, where the scene's "decidedly nonstudent" and the cocktails "creative" and "pricey"; "lovely" outdoor seating is a "summertime perk."

Noir Restaurant Review

The red and black lounge located on the first floor of The Charles Hotel in Harvard Square maintains a film noir motif via aptly named cocktails. The wine list is modest as most people come for the specialty drinks like Noir’s Boudoir and Body Heat Cider. Rialto’s executive chef has prepared a bar menu of snacks such as toasted mixed nuts with wasabi peas and a “cocktail” of chicken, mustard,...

Like the genre from which it gets its moniker, Noir is seriously dark. Bordering on ask for a flashlight to read the menu dark. That’s part of the draw. Cozy black banquettes, heavy velvet curtains and beads swaying across the entrance add to the air of seclusion and sophistication. That is until late at night, when seemingly the entire staff of every restaurant in the area piles in, turning...

Romantic hotel bar serves killer drinks in dark, seductive environs.

Anyone looking for a romantic hideaway perfect for carrying on a forbidden affair should look no further than the aptly named Noir (the only fixtures that aren't black are the red lamps)....

Noir part of the Charles Hotel in Harvard Square. They do light bites and specialty drinks, both of which are very tasty! There's an outdoor patio for sunny days too.

We opted to dine at one of the restaurants in the Charles Hotel and we're happy with the meal, and the service. The place is a bit cool at first, which is mostly due to the blasting AC, which we asked to turn down and was told that it was on a central system.
Nevertheless, my son's triple app was...

Great Drinks, food looked good(but did not eat). Good place to go after Rialto closes. Service was good. it looks like it has a great ambiance from the outside but inside left a little more to be desired. How about turning off the TV's or putting a movie on and turning up the music? The brightness of the TV's took...

N/a

A warm, sophisticated bar serving classic cocktails, sweet and sultry signature drinks and a menu suited for a late afternoon or late night snack. Designed to reflect the intense, decadent atmosphere of 1940's nightlife, Noir is the right place to meet friends after work, a date before a show or to round out an evening you hope never ends. noir-bar.com (Boston Globe)

Noir is the dimly lit corner bar of the Charles Hotel where sultry cocktails and simple yet spectacular bar snacks are served to you in a comfortable setting. This bar may be a tribute to film Noir, but the only crime drama here is that everything is a little too good; making it difficult to leave without just one more drink and one more snack. ©10Best.com

Tips about this business (2)

Save Money

This isn't the place for a cheap night out, as most drinks cost around $10. Those on a budget looking to take in the scene might consider a few Coronas.

What to Drink

Those looking for a savory drink should try the Blue Cheese martini, which is shaken tableside and comes with pungent, hand-stuffed Cachael olives.
