I don't set my standards very high when it comes to sports bars, so I think this place is pretty good. Much better than it was when it was Tonic. The owners made the right choice in revamping the...

If this place wasn't a eight minute walk from my apartment, I wouldn't have gone there. It's too big to be a sports bar/pub and the decor doesn't even go. It's trying to be both a pub and bar but...

This is a sister bar of the Davis Sq location, opening Monday 8/20, replaces Tonic. Hopefully it will have better luck than the previous tenants ( Tonic, some brew pub, Play it Again Sam's)
