I'm at the RMV - which means I just went past where the Bugaboo steakhouse used to be. And saw that it is now "Millers Boston Alehouse"*

Seriously? Is there really such a market for watery beer in Boston that people will go out to a place that specializes in one particular brand?

* I don't recall an apostrophe, but I'm not certain. It is, at any rate, not my intent here to indict them for bad grammar. Bad beer, combined with hubris about it, are crimes enough.

The food is roughly what you'd expect from such an establishment. The beer is much better, and I did not see their eponymous brand on tap...I don't think they're actually affiliated. Still, I wouldn't go out of my way to go there unless I was in Watertown already and specifically wanted bland American food.

They are indeed not affiliated with the obvious brand.

I actually thought the fajitas were pretty decent.

That's really odd. It's simultaneously inviting a trademark infringement suit — while at the same time, off-putting to prospective customers who assume the mark isn't being infringed.
