"Bartenders here craft herbs, exotic liqueurs, and even pickles into concoctions that are unforgettable, no matter how many you guzzle. Sit back, drink in hand, and watch the beautiful people."

"Classic bánh mì foundation on a lightly toasted baguette from with interesting flourishes- pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, house-made asian mayo, and optional sliced fresh jalapeños. Superb."

"Their double fried chicken - soy and spicy or just damn spicy- is to live for. Also try the pan fried dumplings and the short ribs."

"Digging the all-Italian wine list, Mimmo's meatballs, and the house-made pastas. Also try the eggplant appetizer and the chicken Cardinale"

"Don't miss the kubideh and any of the chicken kebabs or the deceptively simple pilaf of fragrant, super-long-grain rice."

"Voted "Best Dive Bar" by @BostonPhoenix readers in 2012!"
