Simple Truth Lounge

The small lobby of Hotel Veritas is called the Simple Truth Lounge — an elegant, intimate place for our guests (and a very few interesing "outsiders") to meet for a cocktail or glass of wine. Our cocktail and beer lists are focused on offering the best libations made in Massachusetts, with a few other regions thrown in for fun. Guests of Hotel Veritas and the Simple Truth Lounge may enjoy some of the finest local cheeses and charcuterie provided by Formaggio Kitchen.

We exclusively serve Ice Glen Vodka, Greylock Gin, and Ragged Mountain Rum — each hand crafted in small batches at Berkshire Mountain Distillers, the Berkshire's first legal distillery since prohibition. They use local crops and fresh water sources to anchor their spirits to the Massachusetts landscape.

Our beer list includes the Boston-based Harpoon Brewery and self-described gypsy brewers Pretty Things. Wines have a more international flavor with an ever-revolving selection of small vintners from Europe and South America.
