What People Are Saying About The Lower Depths

In Short – A pleasant alternative to Kenmore Square's sporty nightlife options, the Lower Depths serves as a relaxed spot for enjoying rare microbrews and souped-up bar food. The sleek environs and eclectic tunes provide a bit of an edge, and friendly servers do their best to describe the rarer of the 16 brews on tap (dozens more are available by the bottle, including 40s of Colt 45). Hardly anything on the menu tops $10, and inviting items include crab and rock shrimp crostadas, jerked fish tacos, and a flat iron steak sandwich.

Worst service ever
by msboston09 at Citysearch
Where to start...the servers were incredibly rude and ignorant...there's a reason why they only take cash at this bar and I would not trust these people with my credit info if my life depended on it...their beer list is completely unexciting...and seriously...hot dogs? if this is all this place has got to offer, eat hot dogs at home. I will never, ever go back to this bar.
- Pros: none
- Cons: poor service, unappealing beer list, greasy food

SKETCHY bar
by fenres2009 at Citysearch
this is the worst bar I've ever been to and will NEVER go back. the waiters there are sketchy as hell and charged our party twice for drinks and were rude and sketchy when asked about it. if they were rational, intelligent people, the matter could have been resolved...but they are totally sketchy and i would never, ever go back there. their draft list blows...there was nothing on it worth ordering and their bottled beer selection was even worse...
- Pros: none
- Cons: poor beer list, bad waitstaff, greasy food

My favorite bar in Boston
by Pema007 at Citysearch
Not only do I come here at least once a week, I've made bar-friends. The regulars all know each other. They are interesting, but the most you can say about this place is that it is absolutely perfect. You will not find Coors Light here, which thankfully, drives away "that" kind of crowd. GREAT beer, poured in the correct glass, served at the correct temperature, paired with delicious, down-to-earth food, served by friendly, smart, down-to-earth people. It's clean, the bathrooms are clean, the patio is great in the warm weather. I love Bukowski's, the sister bar to this one, but this is so much cleaner and fresher, and just delightful. I've finally found my "cheers." I highly recommend it, but don't come in asking for Apple-tinis, or for a Guinness - they don't serve that here! Just tell the bartender what type or style of beer you like, and you will begin to learn so much more you've been missing out on. I hesitate to write a good review because I don't want this place getting any more crowded. (I used to love the Delihaus - way back in the day, and those who remember know of its greatness, but the Tap room ... just perfection in a neighborhood bar.)
- Pros: Beer selection, location, service, food, cleanliness
- Cons: gets crowded before and after games, on Friday nights...
