January in Back Bay, wings and fries served in a basket lined with the classic red-and-white checkered paper, at a table with some kind of nautical eagle motif going on. This has “sports bar within walking distance of Copley Square” written all over it, right down to the presentation, but not one shred of a name anywhere in either photo. Boston has approximately four hundred bars matching this exact description, so consider the mystery permanently closed.
If you’re in the area anyway: the Boston Public Library’s Central branch in Copley Square is one of the best free things to do in the city, and Newbury Street is right there for the walk-off.
