The Quiet Few

The Quiet Few is a neighborhood whiskey tavern on Sumner Street in East Boston, with a patio and a useful answer to late-night hunger. Its regular kitchen closes at 10 p.m., but a rotating grilled cheese menu keeps going until 1 a.m. That makes it an option when dinner has slipped well past dinner time. Come for a whiskey and something to eat, or meet friends outside while the patio is open. Seating is first come, first served, so there is no reservation to chase. Food is dine-in only, with no takeout or delivery. The patio closes earlier than the bar, so plan on moving indoors for a late night.
