I'd prefer a private area/room and something other than a dingy bar smelling of stale beer. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure exactly how many people it holds, but I've been to an event there with a number of guests in that approximate range. Assuming that you're doing this while the weather is still nice, as two thirds of the area is a covered outdoor space. Great cocktails, good food, and certainly not at all dingy.

I'd look at ESK, Church, maybe one of the Lyons Group bars on Lansdowne Street. The Baseball Tavern is kind of grim, but it does have multiple levels, including a nice roof deck. http://mcslimjb.blogspot.com/ Mon Sep 14 12:08:23 -0700 2009 5028640 10143 MC Slim JB 1 5029158 What is your time frame? My company had a function in Fenway park. If it is after the season or on a night they don't play or are playing away you could have it there.
