Green Eye Lounge
With its rock-scene crowd, Thursday-night art shows and spillover from the neighboring Gorilla Tango Theatre, the Green Eye isn’t your dad’s sports bar, and it’s certainly a long way from the Cell. But Sox fans typically enjoy a particular strain of dark humor. And if anything can mitigate the drudgery of pulling the team through its post-Ozzie malaise, it’s the dry wisecracks of bartenders Eric, Chad, Turbo and company. The dirt-cheap shot-and-a-beer special doesn’t hurt, either.
