Allston

Hopewell Bar + Kitchen

Bar

Hopewell Bar + Kitchen, at 1277 Commonwealth Ave, has a basement set up like an awesome game room rather than a restaurant, in Phantom Gourmet's words. Down there are pool tables, pinball, shuffleboard and vintage video games. The kitchen calls its menu bar American with a French twist.

Typical beer here $8.75: $0.75 over Allston's typical $8.

Hours Not confirmed here. Check the venue's own site.
