Drinking & Nightlife
Bleacher Bar
SPORTS BAR
(
www.bleacherbarboston.com
; 82a Lansdowne St; Kenmore)
Tucked under the bleachers at
Fenway Park, this classy bar offers a view onto center field (go Jacoby baby!). It's not
the best place to watch the game, as the place gets packed, but it's an awesome way to
experience America's oldest ballpark, even when the Sox are not playing.
If you want a seat in front of the window, get your name on the waiting list an hour or
two before game time; once seated, diners have 45 minutes in the hot seat.
Drink
COCKTAIL BAR
(
www.drinkfortpoint.com
; 348 Congress St S; 4pm-1am; SL1 or SL2, South Station)
There
is no cocktail menu at Drink. Instead you have a little chat with the bartender, and he or
she will whip something up according to your specifications. The bar takes seriously the
art of drink mixology - and you will too, after you sample one of its concoctions. The
subterranean space creates a dark, sexy atmosphere, which makes for a great date destin-
ation.
Warren Tavern
HISTORIC PUB
(
www.warrentavern.com
;
2 Pleasant St; 11am-1am; Community College)
One of the oldest
pubs in Boston, the Warren Tavern has been pouring pints for its customers since George
Washington and Paul Revere drank here. It is named for General Joseph Warren, a fallen
hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill (shortly after which - in 1780 - this pub was opened).
