by Ellen C. on I was at Mezzanine last night for the m83 show. I really have to give it to them- for mostly being a large room without much decor, it's a really great atmosphere for a show. It's not too distracting, they have the projector screens available, they keep the ambient light right, and the acoustics are great. It gets crowded, but not overwhelmingly so. I definitely feel bad for the cocktail waitresses who have to walk through the masses!
by May N. on I was looking for a good happy hour (cheap food, not booze, being in the Boston area) and a group of us tried out this place. It was not too busy on Wednesday night and there were plenty of little space heaters spread out around the area. There's a separate section of happy hour plates with lots of fried goodies/appetizers - fish cakes, garlic fries, hummus plate, tortilla chips with green tomatillo salsa, and burgers - all about half their regular price. Good selection of beers on tap - Newcastle, Stella, Harpoon, and Magners. We stayed for a few hours hanging out and having fun chats with our waitress. It was a really chill place with great music mostly reminiscent of childhood/adolescence for me like No Doubt and Michael Jackson, but it wasn't too loud as to prevent conversation. They seem to have a lot of dance nights here with house and drum and bass in which the tables and chairs get moved and people actually dance. The first time I was here was when I came up to the area to apt-hunt and they featured a session with a drummer who'd worked with tons of cool people. Would definitely come back to hang out or shake my groove thang.
by Guadalupe Matthiesen on A la carte fries in a SHOPPING CART = love. Sweet potato fries in a shopping cart = I have to check that I still have a pulse. I wish wish WISH that there was a Delux in Chicago. The burger (rare, just how I like it) was nothing short of incredible, and I am ridiculously enamored of the mayo aioli for dipping the shopping cart sweet potato fries. The beer/cocktail menu here is more extensive than you'd ever expect for a burger joint. It takes up several pages of the menu - which, by the way, is pretty nifty looking. The beer flights come in cute little trays, which may be entirely unnecessary, but they're fabulous nonetheless. If I hadn't been so full from the burger, I would have had one of the gorgeous cupcakes from Delux's to-go place next door. Or a mini-apple pie. Or both.
