Once the cultural and current affairs hub north of Boston where 19th century luminaries, most notably John Quincy Adams, Henry David Thoreau, Daniel Webster, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Ralph Waldo Emerson lectured on literature, science, and government through the acclaimed Salem Lyceum Society, in historic Lyceum Hall, and where Alexander Graham Bell famously made the first public demonstration of the telephone, today the storied Hall is the thoughtfully adapted home of Turner’s Seafood at Lyceum Hall, and the recent transformation of this architectural gem’s 2nd Floor, where celebrity speakers-of-the-day performed.

The Loft

Warmth, charm and history exudes throughout The Loft, the rich graining of restored wide board floors, a grand fireplace, exposed brick, light-filled windows reaching up to massive beams, custom chandeliers… further to the vaulted ceiling accented by skylights. Complete with a marble bar and a flight of stairs to a balcony-style space overlooking the room, the Loft accommodates up to 40 guests.

The Ballroom

The Ballroom’s more refined, contemporary style blends period detail… exposed brick, stately fireplace, high ceilings with custom chandeliers, wooden floors, plush curtains treatments accenting well-proportioned windows and true to its name… overall, a relaxed elegance accommodating up to 60 guests.
