Yvonneâs is not just a bar â itâs a revived legend. Located at 2 Winter Place in the historic Locke-Ober site, Yvonneâs recasts the grandeur of Bostonâs storied past through a modern, glamorous supper club lens. To enter, guests walk through a faux hair salon front â yes, blow-dry stations â then into richly appointed rooms with velvet seating, chandeliers, patterned wallpaper, carved wood, and nods to Locke-Oberâs former majesty. Multiple rooms offer distinct moods: the main dining/lounge, the âLibraryâ bar room with bookshelves and a classic mahogany bar, and even a âGalleryâ hidden beneath the library behind a secret bookcase. The menu is globally inspired small plates â think flavors drawn from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Latin America, and Asia â designed for sharing across courses. The cocktail program is a highlight: imaginative riffs on classics (e.g. Corn & Oil with rum, cloves & lime; a âSerenade Martiniâ with lemongrass & pink Sichuan pepper) sit alongside bold originals. Yvonneâs drinks are more than mixers â they aim to tell stories, provoke surprise, and sustain a mood from dinner to late night. Nightlife is baked into the identity: as dinner tapers, the lights dim, music deepens, and the space transitions to lounge mode. The hidden rooms, secret doors, and evolving energy give Yvonneâs a theatrical, multi-act feel. Itâs as much about ambiance and surprise as it is about food and drink.
