“As you open the colossal carved door, water droplets dance with gemstone hues, voices melt into buddha-esque vibes and a seemingly life-like Heruka hovers over a room of fashionistas - am I in Miami, Tokyo or Paris?
Then you remember. No, I'm in Harvard Square.”
- Anonymous Lounger
The perfect haven for après-work, après-university, pre-theatre or late night - The Lounge at OM - with all its transforming elements - takes Harvard Square Nightlife to new heights. While the upstairs dining room promises a calming, museum-like journey through the Far East, the swanky lower lounge kicks up the vibe with edgy design, sexy food and an eclectic scene of vibrant professionals, students and fashionistas.
Sink into sumptuous leather sofas through a veil of steel mesh draperies. Gaze thoughtlessly at the mesmerizing video art or ponder more deeply the meaning of the Buddhist art. Commune with friends and colleagues over Momos & Martinis or hideaway in the Mandala Room sipping aromatherapy cocktails.
Mixologist Clif Travers holds court nightly with a star team of bartenders serving up a new generation of cocktails subtly infused with essential oils, such as lavender, jasmine and lemon verbena. In addition to his awe-inspiring lounge offerings, Clif also works his magic at the newly established RhumBar™, on the second floor of OM. Open Friday and Saturday nights from 11:30 pm to 2:00 am and with 30+ rums, the RhumBar™ is just another must-visit spot within this nighttime sanctuary.
Though fabulous, the cocktails are only part of the “perfect mix”, as Chef Rachel Klein adds to this trendy atmosphere with an easy to nibble and easy to share lounge menu, boasting a variety of momos and skewered meats. Resident DJ Mike Swells and guest DJs round out OM’s nocturnal offerings, spinning house and international vibes on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays after midnight and all the way 'til 2am-- bringing the sexy, vibrant crowd alive as the ultra lounge kicks into a higher gear.
