"Anchovies is the Cheers of the South End. This place is small and dark, and a quick favorite for any local or visiting barfly. They offer a hearty menu of not-so-fussy food, served with a jeans and t-shirt approach. Regulars will likely outnumber visitors on any given night, but not to worry, they're friendly enough. Arguably the best bar around for an after work bevvy, or a casual dinner, which they serve until 1:30am!" - Adam&Co.
"There are few better ways to cap off a Sunday Funday than with some house-made Italian favorites from Anchovies. In this gay-friendly establishment, the portions are big and the drinks are stiff." - Alex Reimer
"Anchovies, a South End neighborhood staple, is the place to go for cheap beer, generous cocktail pours, and red-sauce Italian in a dining room open until 2 a.m. nightly. Nothing says midnight dining like cheesy stuffed peppers over linguine and marinara." - Erika Adams
"Anchovies is good for so many reasons (for example: late-night eats, chicken Parm sandwiches, mussels, and spaghetti and meatballs). Eat anything on the menu, like french fries dusted with a mountain of Parmesan cheese, and wash it down with an espresso martini or cosmopolitan. Still thirsty? Cocktails at Anchovies come with whatever’s left over in the shaker after the drink is poured, in case you need a little something extra." - Erika Adams
"What’s not to love about Anchovies? This no-reservations mainstay of the South End serves up hearty Italian American plates like chicken Parm and fried ravioli. Plus, each cocktail order comes with the poured drink and anything left over in the cocktail shaker." - Erika Adams
