Cornwall's

Started by founders John and Pam—who married five years after opening and later brought their niece Elizabeth and nephews JR and Billy into the business—the tavern balances the energy of nearby Fenway Park with a fast, attentive, and unrushed pace. Inside, plenty of seating accommodates an easy mix of locals, students, and newcomers. Alongside an extensive drink menu, the kitchen rounds out its comfort fare with beef sandwiches, coleslaw, and crisp, thick-cut fries.
