Bar · South End

"A cross between a dive bar and an old-school Italian American joint, Anchovies is a gem in Boston’s increasingly expensive South End neighborhood. Anchovies’ stuffed peppers come on a gigantic bed of linguine that serves enough for two, and the bar famously hands over the cocktail shaker with any leftovers after mixing your drink, which often equates to nearly two drinks per order." - Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
