Theater District: Rustic Kitchen

Rustic Kitchen, 210 Stuart Street, Boston: $5.95 appetizers at the bar, 4 pm - 6 pm Mon- Fri.

Rustic Kitchen is located in front of the Renaissance Boston Hotel and adjacent to the Stuart Street playhouse Rustic Kitchen is a staple dinner option for theater goers.

Visted recently, this is my tweet: Rustic Kitchen= B+ The food was excellent and the ambiance nice, but we found the bar small and the bartenders slightly service impaired

Theater District: Legal Seafood

Legal Seafood, various location, Boston: Mon-Thurs 6 oysters for $6 until 6 pm.

Since Leagal's is everywhere in Boston it would be easy to get to one of them by 6 pm for some oysters!

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...

Theater District: Jacob Wirth

Jacob Wirth, 31 Stuart St, Boston: Happy Hour Here has been discontinued!! No, Jake, say it ain't so???!!!

Entree Specials:
Mon.–Thurs. until 2pm: 1/4 lb Angus burger on a bun and a Bud Light draft for only $5.

Mon.–Fri. until 4pm: Cup of chowder or soup of the day, sandwich of the day, dessert of the day, and soda, iced tea or Bud Light for only $9.95.

Friday until 4pm: Two hot dogs with french fries and your choice of a soda or Bud Light draft for only $8.95.

I haven't had any of the entree specials at Jakes, but I'm sure they are good, since the food is typically great. I did get some of the 1/2 price bar appetizers; the nachos get a C+. All the toppings were plopped on top of all the chips, not layered with-in the pile, and it was mostly cheese, very little salsa or beans. The small pizzas get a b-, they taste good, but look like a Celeste Frozen Pizza from Stop n' Shop.

Theater District: Flemings

Flemings, 217 Stuart St: 5 FOR 6 TIL ‘7: 5 cocktails, 5 wines by the glass and 5 appetizers. $6 each, served at the bar until 7 pm

I went here for Restaurant Week a few years back and the steak was ok, it's no Grill 23 but the prices probably reflect that. The inside has an old supper club feel to it, I remember the bar area being small. Not the place to start a rocking night maybe, but good for getting a couple of friends together for a glass of wine and some appetizers! They also offer a $40 three-course pre-theater menu, if you're catching a show in the theater district.
