Trip to Boston - Suggestions on pubs?

[babalu87]

I told you the Sam tour was a bust. And you went to the wrong Kelleys. You must have gone to teh one on Rt 1 in Saugus, you should have gone to the original on Revere Beach. Of course, that would have meant heading to Revere but you gotta sacrafice a little.

But tha one in Reveah is only good after they close all tha bahs and the broads with the pimped out hairdoos and the guido's with their camaros and gold chains show up

Wow sounds like he may have participated in this once or twice...but yeah the one in "Reveah" is where we went. Long drive from JP but worth it IMHO. Plus we were on our way to Portsmith.

Glad you had a great time in Boston. Too bad you didn't get to the Harpoon Brewery. It's in walking distance from the No Name Restaurant and they make it worth the trip.

 

[keelanfish]

Yeah, I'll be sure to visit harpoon next trip. Overall Boston's a great city. Not exactly what I expected, but generally good.

I'm pretty sure that something is wrong with his capslock.
But that seafood place is...."No Name Sea Food"

I ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS , AND THE NAME OF THE RESTURANT IS YANKEE LOBSTER CO.

No mention of Penguin Pizza in Brigham circle?

It is definitely overlooked, probably because of its mostly college-aged crowd (like me), but 40+ taps and loads of bottles. Its beer list has over 200 beers, but they only carry about 75% at once. Though I may be partial because I have a mug on the wall there. The pizza is pretty good too.

My other favorite spots in the city are the beer garden at Charlie's Kitchen in Harvard square (good for outdoor drinking, $1 burgers), the otherside, both Bukowski's, and Deep Ellum.


I suppose if you were expecting a roast beef restaurant and walked into Kelly's I can understand your disappointment. But damn, I can't drive up rt 1 without stopping there... Large Beef 3-way.....*drool*

The Sunset Grill and Tap. They have 100 or so beers on tap. It is my favorite place to go and try new beers.

+1000. SO MANY BEERS! In addition to the 100 on tap they have hundreds of kinds in bottles. I think they have something crazy like 400 different beers.

Here's a link

Sunset Grill - Allston, MA, 02134 - Citysearch

I assure you, money is an object.

Anyone been on the Sam Adams tour? is it worth it?

You can also go to the Harpoon Brewery as well - they do tastings. They also have Harpoon Fest a few times year where they have bands, ect. - It's a druck-fest

Just realized your trip is over...didn't read the whole thread before posting

Thanks, I'm sure there will be future trips to Boston. I also forgot to mention that I was astonished at how many Dunkin Donuts were up there. You Bostoner's must live on coffee and donuts.

Penguin Pizza - Boston

All of the above mentioned places are great (except sunset, sorry but you can taste the gunk in the draft lines). Try the penguin 735 Huntingon Ave., Boston, MA 02127
Its a small pizza place with an amazingly diverse beer menu. You would never know what you were. Enjoy!

Ok, first off, we're Bostonians. Not Bostoner's. Bostoner's makes us sound retarded.

Secondly, we live on coffee and beer. Speaking for myself the order of those two is directly tied to time of day.

Thirdly, and I know you didn't, I'm just saying, don't ever call Boston 'Beantown.' That's more retarded than Bostoners. It's like calling San Francisco 'Frisco.' Nothing makes someone stand out more as coming from west of 495 (and thus irrelevant) as calling Boston 'Beantown.'

There's a west of 495?? I thought that was New York?

 

[paulthenurse]

Like I said, irrelevant.

Bukowski's Dead Authors Club. Right next to Hynes Convention Center. It ws the place where I fell in love with beer. Not a brewpub, but they have a fine selection of beers. Ask for the "other" beer list, those are the best (there was some Imperial Baltic Stout on it, don't remember the name). Bston Beer works is good, try their Kolsch.
