Kenmore Square finally hits The Lower Depths
The Kenmore Square basement that was vacated by Deli Haus a few years ago has been brought back to life by The Lower Depths, a bar that should appeal to Red Sox fans, students of age, people attracted to the new Kenmore Square, people on their way to Lansdowne Street, and, no doubt least importantly, the area’s few non-student residents.
The Lower Depths sports 74 different kinds of beer, including a couple of domestic light ones for those of us who appreciate loud plainness over craftmanship and pride, and 16 different drafts. Its menu pays homage to both the ghost of Deli Haus (The Kenmore melt) and the owner’s previous success stories (a soup from Bukowski’s, some other dish from another place). Right now I can only vouch for the roast beef sandwich and the sloppy joe’s, but I have no doubt I shall have pleasurable encounters with many of the other menu items in the months to come.
