  • An English-style pale ale with the delicious, malty middle of its forbearers.

  • Robust, strong ale for those cold winter nights (on tap October to April).

  • Vapor’s Saturday party, Evolution, is a New York City caliber gay-dance night – complete with top circuit DJs, a deafening sound system, and pulsing lights – but without the drama or attitude. Much of the Evolution crowd returns for the Sunday T Dance where the beat goes on through the morning.

  • Music varies each night of the week, but it’s always the same Prada-Armani-Versace clad crowd. The Art Deco bar makes for a beautiful look.

  • Slick bi-level Vox gets things right with a post-work dining scene. But after 8pm, the drink denizens pack in four-deep to the well-stocked bar.

  • Wally’s Café

    Exhale before you squeeze in the door at Wally’s. This thin, chock-full sliver of a room is one of the best jazz bars in Boston, and has been since 1944.

  • Live soul, R&B, hip-hop, Latin, and especially reggae make Western Front the alternative club for Bostonians and Cantabrigians of color. Local jazz on Wed.

  • Anchoring the Park Plaza Hotel, Whiskey Park more closely approximates the trendy Manhattan cocktail-lounge concept than any bar in Boston. The gorgeous, black-clad wait staff serves all the classics – sidecars, mai tais, cosmopolitans, et al. The bar is owned by “Mr Cindy Crawford”, nightlife mogul Rande Gerber.

  • You better have ID in hand before putting pint to mouth at this lively bar. It’s full of hard-drinking collegiate types, who arrive around 6pm and stay until last call.

  • This classic Southie dive immortalized in the film Good Will Hunting has gained a certain fame from the movie but retains its insular South Boston crustiness and ultra-conservative political viewpoint.
