A hipster haven with a divey vibe, Sputnik is the satellite restaurant and bar to adjacent music venue the Hi-Dive. The hand-dipped corn dogs are a long-standing menu favorite, with a choice of beef or zucchini in cornmeal batter. Vegetarian options are also plentiful.
There's a Latin spin on the cuisine here, where wood-fire cooking is used for a wide selection of asado grilled meats. Tacos, empanadas, and other dishes from South and Central America, Mexico, and Spain round out the menu.

Chowder Room

In addition to the namesake dish, seafood specialties from around the country are at home here, like oysters, fried calamari, crab cakes, and barbecue shrimp. A seafaring vibe is created with the use of woodwork, New England antiques, and ocean-themed artifacts.
