Eastern Standard serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. It caters to hotel guests, locals and Red Sox fans. A popular place to dine before a Red Sox game, Eastern Standard is a popular destination post game as well. Whether you are there for a delicious brasserie experience or saddling up to the bar to enjoy the extensive cocktail list, Eastern Standard does not disappoint. Voted Best of Boston for Group dining as well. Fair warning: can be loud at the bar after the Sox get out! A real French brasserie is kind of like the equivalent of an American steak house/comfort food joint: croque monsieurs, onion soup, a huge plate of oysters, crabs legs, and other seafood tasties, wash it down with a flute of champagne or a nice glass of belgian ale. It's high minded, delicious, slightly decadent without feeling like you've gorged on a side of creamed spinach.

In the area once occupied by the infamous and lamented Deli Haus (home to many early morning breakfasts) is the Lower Depths Tap Room.

Starting in 2008, Lower Depths is now serving brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Hot dogs $1 each. Seven different toppings can be added for another $1 each.

Cornwall's migrated across Kenmore Square into new digs earlier this century but it still has a stellar selection of beers and ample pub grub to suit its customers.

Ken Oringer-led taqueria and bar fills the Lansdowne St. space previously held by the Tiki Room. 2008 Food & Wine Go List. This Fenway mexican joint is located incredibly close to the park and gets quite busy before games. However, it is not busy post game start and is open for lunch and dinner with reasonable prices.

A bar on the edge of Fenway Park's outfield. You enter from Lansdowne Street, but a large window in the sitting area allows diners and drinkers to peer out onto the field to watch the games. According to BU Today, there's "no nachos, no chicken wings, no quesadillas," so don't expect typical bar fair; "high-end," classic sandwiches like "pastrami, salami, beef brisket, corned beef, liverwurst.... turkey club, grilled cheese with bacon, and 'sliders'" make up the better part of the menu's hearty choices.
