Ryles

One of Inman Square’s greatest assets, where murals of Duke, Dizz, and Lady Day inspire top jazz bands to go, go, go. Call ahead to learn if samba or swing lessons are scheduled. And don’t miss the good value Sunday jazz brunch: no cover, live jazz, boisterous crowds, and hearty entrees that rarely venture above $8.
Samuel Adams Boston Lager

The beer that put Sam back on the brewing map after a 200-year hiatus.
Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat Ale

Like a hybrid between champagne and cherry soda; available at most liquor stores.
Samuel Adams Octoberfest

Sam’s finest – available only during the autumn – with deep amber coloring and a warm, spicy smoothness.
Silvertone Bar & Grill

This surprisingly unpretentious, contemporary jazz bar and casual restaurant makes an excellent place to sip good value wine, kick back, and engage in intelligent conversation with your neighbors.
Slades Bar & Grill

Generous drinks, good jazz, and sometimes even free eats ensure Slades hops on the weekends. Don’t let the seedy exterior put you off – this is one of Roxbury’s liveliest social scenes.
Sophia’s

Sophia’s gets its sleek crowd moving to salsa, merengue, and rumba on three dance floors. On warm nights, the sangria-fueled action spills out onto the roof deck.
T. T. the Bear’s Place

T. T.’s is a rock club in the tradition of New York’s C.B.G.B.: small, dingy, and incredibly loud. Expect to sweat, expect to leave with ringing ears, and above all, expect to rock out.
The Big Easy

A rowdy good time is to be had at this New Orleans by way of Boston dance club, with cheap drinks and a brazen crowd. Live cover bands alternate with a DJ on weekends.
The International

Middle management guys loosen their ties and sip cocktails to mainstream rock upstairs. Downstairs, the polo-shirt crowd shoots pool and swigs Heineken.
