Laura WongOctober 8, 2014Fantastic 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!
Boston.comDecember 13, 2012Located 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
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!
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).
GREAT craft beer selection & food is great as well, hot dogs & pretzel 👍🏼
TarzanFebruary 9, 2016Look for the special editions! I tried with the BBC nitro and it was amazing!!
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
$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.
Jason ColemanJuly 31, 2014Note 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.
@RedSoxSupahFans Ode to @LowerDepthsBOS PEANUT BUTTER HOT DOG: Fenway's Finest Frank. First in Flavor Downright Dirty Dog. Love Lower Depths
Todd WhiteAugust 21, 2014Amazing tater tots! And while not the largest selection of beer everyone they have is very carefully selected and awesome.
AnnmarieOctober 26, 2014Great craft beer selection, friendly bartenders and they have poutine tater tots come on..two thumbs up.
Great beer menu and delicious wraps! Nice place to sit outside on a warm day , but sure to order food!
The Next Great Generation (Boston)January 20, 2012Their 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!
Laura I.March 11, 2012Amazing beer list, great food and friendly staff. Don't pass up the tator tots!! And don't forget...cash only
Lily LJuly 6, 2012Order 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!
Lot of beer choices here, be sure to check both the drafts & bottles list to find the one that's right for you. Beer + tots for the win!
Great tater tots, interesting craft beers, and cool sandwiches.
Patrick MichaelSeptember 29, 2015Great beer selection and good prices! Try the pretzel with mustard!
Get a hot dog with peanut butter and bacon. This might sound weird, but trust me. It's delicious.
The Boston Strangler hot dog is a must-try — sautéed onions and mackin' cheese FTW!
Taylor SchaffterAugust 7, 2011Ahhhhh! Pretzel with cheese will change your life. The most deliciously flavored pretzel I've ever eaten.
Best bar in Boston. If you don't know what to get ask the staff, they're awesome.- Get the Kenmore tots: bacon, scallions, cheese and chipotle aioli. Not for the faint of heart.
Vegetarians: Look for the Banh Mi sandwich. 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.
Stefanie T.September 22, 2012Try the blumpkin. It has a great mouth feel, and the aroma is surprisingly powerful.- Evan WeissJuly 15, 2011One of the best beer bars around with over 180 brews. See what they have on draft first.
Jhonn ThomassenSeptember 9, 2013Cash only, but at least they have an ATM right there in the bar. Nice spot overall.
- Get the Havana dog: guacamole, mango salsa and garlic aioli.
Zachary Bouzan-KaloustianAugust 20, 2011In order to sit on the patio you must order food, good thing the hot dogs are only $1
Rick StockwoodApril 13, 2015Headed to the game? Skip the Fenway franks and shitty beer and fill up here first.

"If you visit here during Baseball season, they have a $5 menu that is available between first and last pitch. It's a limited menu, but everything's $5 or less. Tasty, and worth every penny!"
