Stats Bar and Grille

While there are plenty of Southie spots where you can catch the game, Stats is uniquely devoted to the art of gorging yourself on fried food and replays. The bi-level place comes from the team behind JA Stats, the late, lamented Financial District sports bar, so you know they mean business. Twenty-two flat screens dot the walls, most placed strategically around the space so that every vantage point has a solid view. Most of your brewski go-tos are on tap, and between the nachos and the buffalo everything (calamari, spring rolls, wings, pizza), you’ll find a few menu surprises, including shrimp tacos, edamame burgers and pistachio-crusted salmon.
