Sophia's). In the back they have a dance
club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance
floor that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge seating.
Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train,
Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and lot parking.
Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm. I have eaten there regularly, it is very
tasty and modestly priced.
Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the
