Maccabee Bar

Boston’s first Hanukkah pop-up bar, Maccabee Bar returns to Noir at the Charles Hotel from December 2–January 1. Founded by local bartender Naomi Levy in 2018, this annual tradition celebrates Jewish traditions with inspired cocktails like a Latke Sour (apple brandy, potato, lemon and tobacco bitters), an after-dinner sipper of dark rum, oloroso sherry, cacao and amaro, complete with a chocolate gelt garnish; and the Hebrew Hammer (vodka, "leavened" sugar, lemon and raspberry), which is reminiscent of sufganiyot, the jelly doughnuts customarily enjoyed around Hanukkah. The seasonal snack menu at Noir includes untraditional latke, smoked salmon plate, chicken flatbread and sufganiyot of the day. Maccabee Bar is open Monday–Saturday at 4pm and reservations are available.
