Silvertone

Boston


Black-and-white photos and retro advertising posters create a nostalgic atmosphere at this basement pub and grill. The old-fashioned comfort food is mostly satisfying (especially steak tips and mac 'n' cheese), as is Miller High Life in a bottle (and other beers on tap). Popular after-work spot.
