The Point Tavern

Nice, huge pours of house red or white wine at $7. Great place to go hang out and kill some time while waiting for a table to open up at Abyssinia. IT was pretty busy around 8pm on Thursday. Relaxed vibe. NIce bartenders.

Bring Your Own Food at the moment, which is an unexpectedly enjoyable freedom while they finish the kitchen.
It will be interesting to eat here once they are up and running .

Decent bar service, bartender was great when was he at Local 121, and still is, come and he'll tell you the best places to pick up good eats, and come back for drinks.

Great drinks, divided atmosphere so you can do tables or bar.  NO FOOD- but you can bring in your own, or I've even had pizza delivered!  The owner is regularly in manning the ship and I like that.  The other bar tenders are all attentive and helpful.  A solid selection and a very laid back atmosphere.
