Mariel is a modern Cuban restaurant, cocktail bar, and music lounge in Downtown Boston at 10 Post Office Square, housed within the historic Atlantic National Bank building. The sophisticated venue evokes the culture and charisma of Havana nightlife, with a 24-seat bar where cocktail director Sebastian Cañas—formerly of Yvonne's and Drink—crafts drinks like the signature Mariel mojito using a proprietary strain of heribabuena (spearmint) sourced from Boston's Freight Farms. The sexy, clubby atmosphere reflects Mariel's status as the fourth restaurant from COJE Management Group, with an underground nightclub downstairs. Open Monday through Thursday from 11:30 AM to 1:00 AM and Friday from 11:30 AM to 2:00 AM, the venue combines Cuban-inspired cuisine with expert cocktail service and live music in an upscale, energetic setting.
