Theater District: Rock Bottom Brewery

Rock Bottom Brewery, 115 Stuart St, Boston,: $2.99 / $3.99 / $4.99 Bar Menu Available Monday - Friday: 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm



I enjoy the spicy spinach dip here, it's very cheesy as well as spicy...so prepare for queso overload. The dip is the best eaten with their ball park pretzels but, alas, the pretzels didn't make the cut for the cheap bar menu (c0nsider ordering them anyway). The nachos are also decent, but they charge $1.50 for chicken, guacamole and sour cream!

The only problem I have with the Rock Bottom specials is that the cut off time is 5:30 pm! Can't they at least extend it to 6 pm so we don't have to bolt out of work right at, or before, 5 pm just to get there? Then again, maybe people like that...

Wikipedia says a pintxo is, "a small slice of bread upon which an ingredient or mixture of ingredients is put and held there using a stick, which gives the food its name." Sounds interesting, some one who's tasted these snacks from the Basque country please let us know how they go down!
