About

The Last Hurrah is the street-level whiskey bar of the Omni Parker House, fitted out in soft leather and mahogany and hung with framed photographs of James Michael Curley, his circle, and the congressmen and senators tied to Boston and the hotel. The hotel opened the first version of the bar in 1971 and named it for Edwin O'Connor's 1956 novel The Last Hurrah, which Curley inspired; Curley was a regular at the Parker House, and the hotel now calls the room Boston's most famous political bar.

It suits a Freedom Trail day that needs a sit-down, a nightcap for hotel guests, or a first-time visitor who wants a drink with some Boston politics on the walls. The hotel stands on the trail, and it puts State Street station, on the Blue and Orange Lines, about two minutes' walk away, with Park Street and Downtown Crossing about four.

What to order

Whiskey is the reason to come: the hotel describes an impressive collection of Bostonian whiskey alongside single malts, classic cordials and contemporary cocktails. The martini list leans local with a Boston Tea Party made on Earl Grey-infused gin and a Boston Cream Pie Martini, while the cocktails carry political and local names such as Ponzi's K.O., the Political Mascot mule and Roosevelt's Request. Drafts include Guinness and Castle Island Keeper IPA, and there are three spirit-free cocktails. Irish coffee and coffees named for Harvey Parker and Charles Dickens close out the list.

Food and the pie

The all-day menu is bar food with a Boston accent: New England clam chowder, a trio of deviled eggs including lobster, a lobster roll, a French dip and the State House Club. Dessert is Boston Cream Pie, which the Parker House says was created in its own kitchen and describes on the menu as an almond-encrusted Parker House original.

Staying at the hotel

The Parker House also has Parker's Restaurant and Parker's Bar, both covered in the Omni Parker House listing. Guests paying the hotel's daily fee receive a food and beverage credit per reservation that can be used here or at Parker's Bar.
