Jack's Favorite Southie Bars

Southie's bar culture runs from movie-famous corner taverns to packed game-day rooms. A short field guide.

01
City Point / East Side

L Street Tavern

The corner bar from Good Will Hunting, still exactly what it looks like: a neighborhood tavern where the accent is real and the pour is honest.

02
City Point / East Side

The Playwright

East Broadway's reliable: kitchen open late, every game on, and the patio that fills the second the temperature allows.

03
West Side

Stats Bar & Grille

The West Broadway sports room: wall-to-wall screens, wings, and the whole neighborhood in one place on a Patriots Sunday.

04
West Side

The Broadway

The polished end of the strip: cocktails and a scene, the room people dress for.

05
Andrew Square

Croke Park

Known to everyone as Whitey's: a genuine, no-frills Southie dive on the Dorchester Street end. Cash-friendly prices and zero pretense.
