Is it possible to want to savor a view while you sip a cocktail more than a Bostonian who has endured the rainiest of springs? We don’t think so!

So, here’s where you can get your fix for a natural high, a few floors up, libation in hand.

High Views

Legal Harborside

Legal Harborside, Legal Sea Food’s flagship property, offers Boston Harbor views from all three of its levels, each featuring a different dining menu.

Dress is elegant casual.

The expansive view from Top of the Hub

If you’ve yet to experience brunch, lunch, cocktails in the lounge, or dinner at this address — or simply visit Skywalk Observatory — you’re missing out on iconic awe-inspiring, panoramic Boston-skyline-and-beyond views. Live music is featured each evening. And you can combine your dining experience with an Observatory Deck visit to “Dreams of Freedom,” an interactive multimedia exhibit about 400 years of  the Boston immigrant experience. Do plan to dress up to dine or enjoy a cocktail, as business attire is required for daytime, and dinner attire at night.

800 Boylston St., Prudential Tower, Floor 52
11:30 a.m.-1 a.m.
$12 per cocktail
