"Like Sullivan’s Tap, Theatre District dive bar the Tam closed a few years back but came back to life, mostly the same, under new ownership — a group of investors going by the name Greater Boston Bar Co. has been reviving a bunch of local bars — and they’re not fixing what isn’t broken. The Tam is just the right combination of no-frills and cheap beer that you’d expect from a proper dive, and a great stop to while away an hour before a comedy show or concert on Theater Row." - Nathan Tavares, Tanya Edwards
