Fritz, Boston, Massachusetts

On the ground floor of the economical and gay-popular Chandler Inn Hotel, Fritz (26 Chandler St., 617-482-4428) is Boston's gay sports bar, a low-keyed neighborhood spot drawing a mostly male, easygoing, and unpretentious bunch to watch televised games on six flat-screen TVs and toss back bottles of beer. It's in the charming South End, a short walk from numerous restaurants and not far from Boston's most popular gay video bar and restaurant, Club Cafe.
