This fun South End spot draws a chic crowd of men and women for conversation (the noise level is reasonable), dining, live music in the front room, and video entertainment in the back room. Thursday is the busiest night. Open daily until 2am; the restaurant, 209 Boston, serves Sunday brunch, dinner nightly, and a light bar menu daily starting at noon.
