My favorite bar in Boston. If I'm in Boston I'm going here. Love the Bukowski-esque atmosphere. Cool bartenders, interesting patrons, and I love the peanut butter burger with bacon, try it! Cool music ... Closest to a dive bar I have found in Boston :).

Amazing bar with good food and many options. In the evenings the music is a bit too loud for me, but during the day, I came back for a burger and that was the best one I had in a very long time. I’ll be back soon.

They’ve got a nice selection on tap but also some
