It may be drab, but Steve's cooks some of the heartiest and most authentic Greek fare in Boston. Unusual items like kleftiko, lamb wrapped in grape leaves and baked in metaxa brandy ($13), add some flair to traditional main courses ($7-13) and appetizers ($5-10) such as tsatziki (a cucumber, yogurt, and garlic dip) and kebabs. But, as the happy crowds can testify, even the standards—gyros ($5.25), pastichio ($9.25), and souvlaki ($5.25)—are well-seasoned and delicious at Steve's. Vegetarians have plenty of options, including horiatiki salad with feta ($7) and veggie moussaka ($9). Homemade desserts feature an incredible baklava ($6) and galaetobourico ($2.75), custard-filled dough draped in cinammon and honey. Look for daily specials.

At first sight, the stuffed buffalo and and wood-panelling adorning the Cactus Club might have you think you've found a Final Club for the southwestern cowboy crowd. Don't be fooled, though—boasting awards for the best margaritas and best fajitas in Boston as well as the best pick-up spot, The Cactus Club lets everyone in, from the afterwork to the college crowd, making for a lively bunch even on weekdays and especially during Sox games, when all appetizers and margaritas are half-priced. Try the Tequila Sunrise chicken ($12) in a limey, tangy sauce with a kick courtesy of its namesake booze, or stick to old favorites like enchiladas, burritos, and fajitas. The Cactus Club is primarily known as a watering hole—try the Horny Margarita ($7) or share a Big Bowl ($15) with a friend. Reservations accepted Su-Th; on F-Sa only accepted before 4pm.

They also have a HUGE buffalo over their bar that believe it or not, smoke comes out of his nose!!! You should go if you haven't been here yet.

Though housed in a converted Boston police department, the sleek dark wood and polished surfaces of Dillon's bear little relation to its grittier past. An older crowd that can afford the steeper prices sips premium liquors or samples generic American fare like cobb salad or prime rib (entrees $14-22). There is a private outside area with seating where smoking is allowed. The quieter atmosphere and its location make Dillon's a possible choice for post- or mid- Newbury spree refueling.

This is the office for the Foggy Goggle.

The Foggy Goggle is now closed and has reopened to be McGreevy's Pub and Grille Foggy Goggle Pub is set on the "bar" strip of Boylston Street (Near Pour House, Lir, and Cactus Club). This is probably the place where you go when the lines are too long at other places. It's still a fun bar, and has all the essentials (beer, service, drinks, beer, drinks..) but lacks in atmosphere and people. Give it a shot and prove wrong- but don't say we didn't warn you.

McGreevy's, a sportsbar and Irish restaurant and pub situated on the top of Boylston Street in the Back Bay and a stone's throw from Fenway, is reopened for the first time since it closed for Prohibition in the 1920's. Originally opened in 1894 by Michael 'Nuf Ced' McGreevy who was the bartender and leader of the Royal Rooters, the famed fanatical fans of the Boston Americans (who later would be renamed the Boston Red Sox), it was a sports bar that hosted the likes of Ty Cobb, local Boston politicos and celebrities. Open again by the Dropkick Murphy's Ken Casey, this reinstituted institution wants to bring a piece of history back to the city, and good times all around.
