The Foundation Lounge is the "hotel bar" of the Hotel Commonwealth. It offers high-end design and high end drinks, with a bar menu that leans towards the Japanese (edamame, maki, kobe beef, spring rolls). Creative cusine and interesting cocktails make this a hotspot on the weekends, after work crowd, and wildly popular during Red Sox games.

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.

Located in Fenway a few short doors down from Manny Ramirez' favorite launching pad, Bill's Bar is the unofficial Dirty Rock Club of Lansdowne Street, harkening back to Boston's rock n' roll glory days. With live shows each night, Bill's features the sleaziest grind on the strip, from nationally touring metal bands to the best of a blossoming local indie scene. Each Friday, Bill's is the hotspot for edgy live music on Lansdowne -- the Dirty Rock Club is back. Drink up!

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.
