Heading east down the block, near L Street, is the Boston Beer Garden. Once this was the site of The Point, a dank bar that catered to the beer-and-a-shot crowd; now patrons enter through fashionable French doors into an elegant room, its exposed brick walls decorated with photographs and art of rural Ireland.

Opened by Irishman Jon Cronin, a South Boston resident, the pub/restaurant features a 30-foot rectangular bar from which $3 microbrews and top-shelf liquor are served to a crowd that is both trendy and local.

Early on a recent Friday evening, the mix was about 50-50 between young well-dressed singles standing around the bar and groups of older men and women, neighborhood types. It seemed a perfect microcosm of the new South Boston.
