PLAYER'S CORNER PUB,

Although Player's has always been across from Trinity Repertory Company, the players it's dedicated to are not of a thespian persuasion. This place has always been a sports bar, TVs all tuned to ESPN, conversation at the beer taps all in enthusiastic denial of the Sox's chances this year for a pennant. But the talk may turn to cuisine now that Jimmy Kazounis, as in the restaurant Jimmy's at the Italo, is in charge of the kitchen here. We sampled every corner of the menu and found that, by and large, the traditions had traveled well across town. The grilled chicken breast ($9.95), for instance, was moist and flavored deliciously with a lemon-garlic sauce. Cheap eats that's also good food -- and convenient to the theater? We'll be back.

Full review.
