Editorial Review

Dim sports pub alternates scenes between locals and dining on the cheap college kids by day, to Allston scenester hot spot by night.  That depends on the night, of course, And whether or not the kids are over it by now. Hard to keep up. Mad flatscreens blaze sports at your face for the big game. College bros snack on wings and the broad selection of beers on tap. Love Night 80's night brings the retro minded dancing crowd in their headbands or whatever. Trivia nights and game nights do the trick as well. Outdoor, enclosed patio is a nice find.
