Lock In Your Boston Holiday Party at Alibi

If you’re searching for a Boston holiday party venue that turns the season’s festivities into a story worth retelling, your alibi is waiting in Beacon Hill. Alibi Bar & Lounge transforms the legendary Charles Street Jail—built in 1851—into a luxurious backdrop for end-of-year celebrations with original bluestone floors, exposed brick, and iron-barred windows that glow under candlelit ambiance. And this year, we’re making your December 2025 buyout even more unforgettable: book by October 31 and enjoy a complimentary ice luge and a DJ on us.

Why Alibi Is Boston’s Most Intriguing Holiday Party Venue

Authentic history, stylish present: We honor our origins inside The Liberty Hotel with preserved cell walls, storied corridors, and our celebrity “alibis” wall—then elevate it with refined service and modern mixology.
Beacon Hill prestige: Located at 215 Charles Street, we’re steps from Boston Common and moments from the city’s downtown energy, making arrivals effortless for your guests.
Tailored luxury: From full buyouts to meticulously staged lounge vignettes, we craft an experience that feels exclusive, celebratory, and completely yours.

The Setting: Historic Architecture, Modern Indulgence

The drama is in the details. Your guests arrive to the glow of atmospheric lighting reflected off original bluestone, the texture of exposed brick, and the unmistakable geometry of prison bars turned design statements. It’s the perfect conversation starter—and a powerful setting for a sophisticated holiday celebration. Our transformation story—from one of Boston’s most secure addresses to a destination for freedom of flavor—comes alive all evening long.

Complimentary DJ: Set the mood from cocktail hour to last toast with a curated soundtrack that keeps the room buzzing.

Consider it our festive nod to sophisticated rebellion—high style, high spirits, no compromises.

Food, Cocktails, and Chef Lydia Shire’s Holiday Touch

Our culinary program draws inspiration from Chef Lydia Shire’s Italian-influenced sensibilities—think luxurious canapés, seasonal antipasti, and artful passed bites that feel celebratory, not predictable. Pair them with our craft cocktails, including playful prison classics like Doin’ Thyme and Jail Bait, plus bespoke batched options designed for service at scale.

We’re happy to tailor menus to your team and traditions—elegant, indulgent, or cheerfully unexpected. Preview the vibe on our Cocktail Menu, and explore the room’s story at Alibi Bar & Lounge.

In warmer months our rare off-street patio is Beacon Hill’s best-kept secret; for the holidays, the glow moves inside, where the brick and bluestone shine.
