Fantastic place for late night drunchies. Tater tots are a must and there are a large variety on what to get them loaded with. Don't let the gravy scare you, it is delicious! Great beer selection too!

This cozy bar serves up 150+ bottled beers and 17 rotating drafts & offers classic bar fare. Order the Fenway Frank wrapped in a buttered, toasted bun for just $1. Be warned though, it's cash only! Read more

Located a couple of blocks from the main drag of bars near Fenway Park, the Depths is a subterranean beer sanctuary. Work your way through the list (bartenders keep track) and you get your own mug. Read more

Cash only and tough to hear yourself think on a game day, but worth it for the tater tots and craft beer list. Get a hot dog with mango salsa and guacamole, or with mac & cheese (really).

Their loaded tots are ridiculous! A must try on their menu for sure. Check out their huge craft beer selection and if your up to it have a hand at their list!

This beer bar offers more than 16 rotating drafts and 150 bottles, plus some limited and rare beers, and if you want something they don’t have, ask and they might get it for you. Read more

Note to all novices. This is a craft beer bar. You won't find your craptastic bud light here. And if you order a PBR they should make you drink it in a sippie cup.

$1 hot dogs, a rotating grilled cheese of the day, and a great beer list. Also, If you like some heat to your food, ask for the spicy condiments.

Amazing tater tots! And while not the largest selection of beer everyone they have is very carefully selected and awesome.
Craig DesmaraisSeptember 17, 2014
$1 Fenway franks, awesome tater tots and one of the best beer menus in Boston. Cash only but an ATM is on site

Their craft beer selection is phenomenal, and you don’t have to deal with a pretentious staff: If you're having trouble deciding, they'll give you great advice on a beer. Read more

Sitting at the bar with a jacket? Use the hooks under the counter. Few bars have this amenity!

Order the peanut butter on your (veg) hot dog and a Racer 5. Side of tots. Gaslight Anthem tunes are on the house.

A hot dog is straight-up $1 here. Come here before and/or after a Sox game if you crave one without paying the Fenway prices for it. Cash only, though!

Good beer selection and great tots! Great place to go after a game!
Laura I.March 11, 2012

Ahhhhh! Pretzel with cheese will change your life. The most deliciously flavored pretzel I've ever eaten.

Cash only, but at least they have an ATM right there in the bar. Nice spot overall.

The Boston Strangler hot dog is a must-try — sautéed onions and mackin' cheese FTW!

Get a hot dog with peanut butter and bacon. This might sound weird, but trust me. It's delicious.

Oh the tots, the TOTS! And the Fenway Frank however you want it. Go for mango salsa & habanero aioli. A little "wet", but yum.

Get the Kenmore tots: bacon, scallions, cheese and chipotle aioli. Not for the faint of heart.

In order to sit on the patio you must order food, good thing the hot dogs are only $1
Maxwell FoxmanMarch 7, 2014

Beer and wine, cash only! (but a great bar nevertheless)
Stefanie T.September 22, 2012
Try the blumpkin. It has a great mouth feel, and the aroma is surprisingly powerful.
Sofia PapastamelosNovember 7, 2015
TOTS! Also a great cheesesteak.

Go to the Lower Depths for the beer; stay for the Tots Supreme (tater tots with blue cheese and caramelized onions).

You may want to avoid this place during Sox games if you're a beer geek who wants to be able to hear him/herself drink.
Evan WeissJuly 15, 2011
One of the best beer bars around with over 180 brews. See what they have on draft first.
