 | |  |  | Eating & Drinking in Boston: Irish pubs | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Boston and the Irish: one can get sick of the connection, you know? Walking the streets of the city, one is likely to see more tri-colors and Irish pubs than in Dublin. And it will seem like every one of those pubs is legally committed to have at least one Irish barman, one "Irish Writers" poster, and one U2 CD on the premises at all times. Thankfully, though, in Boston there are definitely two types of Irish pubs. There are the ones with neon shamrock Budweiser signs in the front window showing Monday Night Football on the big screen TV to a bunch of college guys with Fightin' Irish tattoos on their calves. They have Guinness on tap and they draw big crowds, but they have as much to with an Irish pub as they do with a Japanese garden. And then there are the places where after your first or second pint of Guinness, you'll swear you are across the ocean taking a break from an afternoon rain. Most are dark, smoky, and filled with Irish patrons discussing distinctly un-American topics like the all-Ireland hurling final, the SDLP, or the smell of burning turf. Leave a Comment

| | | | Eating & Drinking in Boston: Smoke Free in Boston | Tip Rating: | | | | |
One of our favorite and Boston's newest 'local customs' is not so much a custom as a law. As of the spring of 2003, Boston workplaces are completely smoke-free. What does this mean to you? Well, since waitresses and bartenders are working, no one can smoke where they work. This means, in addition to restaurants, bars, pubs, clubs, and the like are all smoke free! Not everyone is happy about this (mostly smokers and the unlucky folks who live near one of these types of places and have to deal with smokers on side walk), but we sure are! And it turns out, owners are pretty happy too since business actually appears to be increasing since the ban went into effect. Leave a Comment

| | | | Eating & Drinking in Boston: The beer hunt continues….in Boston!!! | | | | | |
Wherever you go, whatever you do, sampling the local beer is definite must!!! What do the locals drink, what beer is most popular, which beer is hardest to find, does it come in a half pint glass just like grandma used to drink…or better still, a full pint glass like I drink??? These are all good questions that need to be answered... Beer has been brewed in Boston for around 400 years, so, I think they know what they’re doing…….The city is truly blessed with extraordinary ales, so many that I have trouble choosing a favorite. From the popular Sam Adams brewed in Jamaica Plain to Tremont Ale brewed down in Waltham to the ultra-local Harpoon IPA brewed right in Boston…….how can a poor boy decide what’s best to consume when they are all so damn good... So, when in Boston, you’re in brewer’s heaven, sample it all and sample it all often…It’s all good...
