This rechristened cocktail joint (formerly Audubon Circle) offers Fenway crowds an alternative to sticky-floored sports bars serving watery beer and frozen buffalo wings. Now under the same ownership as Trina’s Starlite Lounge, the modern minimalist barroom and backyard patio draw cool 20- and 30-something crowds with a team of top-notch barkeeps who keep the craft drafts and other home-run tipples flowing. Bonus: quality, creative American eats.
