The Tam

"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

"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

"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. (One or more members of that same group are separately involved in the Silhouette in Allston and the reopening of Somerville’s Thirsty Scholar, too.) The Tam is just the right combination of no-frills and cheap beer that you’d expect from a proper dive." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Erika Adams

"The Greater Boston Bar Co., which owns the Beacon Hill Pub and several other local dive bars — including the Tam (222 Tremont St.) in Boston’s Theater District." - Dana Hatic

"The Tam was a real, old-school dive bar known for its absolute lack of pretension, low prices, familiar faces, and decades of memories within its walls." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
