"Due to a series of good choices on your part, you’ve probably never been yelled at by someone named Sully in a South Boston bar. That’s why Sonny McLean’s, the aggressively Boston bar in Santa Monica, is one of our favorite spots in the city. The servers call you “Hon,” the pours are heavy, and the people care so much about the Pats that you’ll catch residual fandom during games. We like to come on Sundays for the full football experience, but this is still a great place to hang if there’s no game on. They’ve also got a great tap list, and surprisingly good wings and mozzarella sticks, if you’re hungry. " - Brant Cox
