"Almost seeming out of place amongst all of the bright lights of the Theatre District, this bar — founded “sometime during the 1940s” — seems to define the term "hole in the wall," and you'd be hard-pressed to find a Bostonian who doesn't have at least one memory here (or lack thereof...) Don't come hungry though; beer, cocktails, and attitude are the only things on the menu." - Erika Adams, Katie Chudy
