Quick Take

Clarendon's singles (and couples) pack this bar on weekends; no, really, it's jammed. The crowd is usually fun, even if the music can be cheesy.

Editorial Review

It seems most people come to the Clarendon Grill to hang out with friends, not to listen to music or to dance. But if you go often enough, you may catch a rising local star here.

Occasionally a DJ spins '80s new-wave hits in this brightly decorated bar; but most nights there is a local cover band -- or singer with an acoustic guitar -- trying hard to crank up the crowd. On Monday nights, instructors offer salsa lessons before dancers take over the floor. If you find the music too high-decibel, there's a 75-seat patio behind the bar to escape and have a smoke -- Clarendon Grill has banned smoking indoors.

For the hungry and thirsty, Clarendon Grill has a decent selection of sandwiches, pasta and bar munchies (try the toasted pecans with your beer), although they're pricey -- chips and salsa, at $5, are the cheapest thing on the menu. The beers, too, can be more expensive than you might expect, considering that they're not brewed on the premises, but the domestic beers (draft and bottle) .
