Fans of the B's and C's fill this bar in the shadow of TD Garden on game nights. "It's a stripped down type of bar where people get fired up for Bruins games," O'Neil says. He remembers when the upstairs lounge used to host indie dance night The Pill: "There would be these skinny mod kids waiting to get upstairs and the old grizzled drinkers just looking at them."
