EDITORS’ CHOICE
LA FINA, Andover
Unwind with a perfectly prepared martini and channel Mad Men at this timeless upscale spot with an international vibe. Upholstered chairs invite lingering at the long slate-gray bar, rubbing elbows with clientele who are decidedly upscale and dressed to impress—you might just ink a million-dollar deal over a glass of Champagne. 27 Main St., Andover, 978-475-4082, lafinarestaurant.com
FOR WATERVIEW COCKTAILS
TUSCAN SEA GRILL & BAR, Newburyport
This Taniya Nayak–designed space is dominated by a large bar positioned to bring Merrimack views to every seat. But if you really want to get close to the river, grab a stool at the deck railing, gazing out at Salisbury and the ocean beyond. An elegant drinks list, with a focus on local spirits as well as a broad selection of wines by the glass and beer on tap, offers a vast array of options. 38R Merrimac St., Newburyport, 978-465-2211, tuscanseagrillbar.com
FOR CITY VIEWS
THE ROOF, Salem
At the only rooftop bar in town, enjoy harbor breezes and views of steeples and colonial buildings below at this open-air spot. The cocktails match the easy-breezy scene—frosé, anyone?—and bar snacks skew Mexican, with nachos, tacos, and rice bowls. We like the focus on local beer and the coastal charm. 209 Essex St., Salem, 978-451-4950, theroofsalem.com
