South End staple for over 20 years. This restaurant offers great food and cocktails until 1:30am. The space has a dark and cozy vibe with solid cocktails, affordable wines, comfortable entrees and warm, crusty bread with a white bean dip. Most entrees are under $20 making it a great value too. Look for the martini glass sign when walking down Shawmut Ave because the signage is limited.
