The Playwright is a more upscale bar for the Southie scene. A great place to watch the Bruins, Sox, or Patriots. They are able to open the front windows which is nice on those hot summer days. Great beer & apps!

The playwright's food is good, especially the spinach dip with pita chips, but the atmosphere can sometimes be lacking. It is a great place to watch a game, but if there is nothing good on for sports, there is little else to entertain you.

Great New Look, Great Atmosphere for after work drinks, or to watch a sports event! Not to mention the food is DELICIOUS! I would highly recommend trying the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer!

I have been to this restaurant several times, but mostly because it is one of the only options for a sit-down meal in this neighborhood.

The menu is mostly pub-style food and sandwiches, but some entrees are available. I'd recommend sticking to the basics here.

My best choice has been the veggie quesadilla, but I was not as pleased with the Reuben, which was cold inside.
