Slades Bar & Grill

"Nicknamed the “soul of Boston,” Slades is a live music and restaurant icon that has stood the test of time as a landmark gathering place and supporter of Boston’s Black community since 1935." - Erika Adams, Katie Chudy

"There’s often a reason to be skeptical when a restaurant’s own menu declares a dish to be “famous,” but the brag is warranted at decades-old Boston icon Slade’s, where the fried chicken wings, tossed in “secret seasonings,” rightfully get top billing. Choose between crispy or extra crispy versions, with sweet chili and buffalo wings also among the offerings. Or stop by on a Tuesday or Friday for the baked wings." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff

"Catch live music and DJ sets on most nights at Boston institution Slade’s. No night is complete without an order of the restaurant’s famous fried chicken wings." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff

"This one is more of a music-with-food-and-drink event: Roxbury soul food icon Slade’s is hosting R&B singer and songwriter Lisa Bello for a performance on Friday night starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $17.50 apiece ahead of time or $20 at the door. Come hungry, and be sure to grab some of those famous chicken wings." - Erika Adams

"On the edge of Roxbury and the South End lies the 90-year-old neighborhood icon Slade’s Bar & Grill, otherwise known as “the soul of Boston.” Come for the crispy fried wings tossed in the restaurant’s secret seasoning mix, stay for the warm atmosphere and frequent live music nights. Check Instagram for the latest entertainment schedule." - Erika Adams
