Lower Depths

Last Sunday was a great day to be sitting on a patio enjoying a good brew. Of course everyone else was thinking the same thing so finding an establishment whose patio wasn't occupied could pose a challenge to many thirsty patrons. After walking around the Back Bay area of Boston to find a bar with an open patio to drink on, which was unsuccessful, my friend suggested Lower Depths. I had never heard of the bar before so was eager to check it out. We made our way down Commonwealth Avenue till we reached the bar.

Located in what would be considered the basement of the building, Lower Depths is able to make good use of the space by having glass panels that can be removed allowing a breeze to enter the bar, creating that patio like atmosphere. This also allows for easy access to tables inside or outside the patio. The reason why my friend and I were able to find seating at the Lower Depths ,and not any other place, is because unlike most other bars that are located on Newbury and Boylston Street, Lower Depths is located on Commonwealth Ave. which has much less foot traffic. But don't think that is a bad thing. Lower Depths is a great bar with a great menu, great beer, and even better service. Its location makes it a hidden gem within the Kenmore Square area.
