Boston's South End was originally tidal marshes up until the late 1840's when the city decided to transform it into a residential area with a focus on community. It's charm comes from Charles Bulfinch's design for the area which was inspired by 18th-century English cities where rows of townhouses overlooked tree-lined streets, brick sidewalks and beautiful parks. The neighborhood has had it's ups and downs since then, but today it is one of the most desireable places to live in the city, and continues to expand and evolve. It is home to some of the city's best restaurants, gourmet food trucks, boutiques, vintage shopping, theaters, galleries and picturesque rowhouses, all packed into just a few walkable city blocks. We'd like to thank you to Tony Luong for shooting the majority of our photos.

Casual, kitschy bar serving up eclectic eats & drinks.
The Delux is a South End treasure that has stayed true to it's roots as a dive bar despite the years of gentrification the surrounding neighborhood has experienced. This is not where you go to get a fancy meal, but rather put back a few Schlitz tall boys with friends. The decor is best described as "kitsch" with walls covered in record sleeves, graffiti-covered restrooms, the Cartoon Network on TV, and year-round Christmas decorations. The wall-mounted taxidermy Jackalopes and Elvis shrine would indicate "hipsters only", however Delux is a favorite of locals new and old who appreciate cheap drinks and good food.
