The Littlest Bar

The name is no joke. Three’s company but four’s a crowd. There are just two taps, and one of them is Guinness. Like the beer, the crowd tends to be Irish – well, Boston Irish (see The Littlest Bar).
The Littlest Bar

Licensed to hold no more than 38 patrons, the Littlest amply deserves its distinction as Boston’s most intimate Irish pub. Located just across from the State House, it is popular with politicians and local professionals.
The Middle East

A live music club to rival any in New York or Los Angeles, the Middle East rocks its hipster patrons from three stages and nourishes them – appropriately enough – with delicious kebabs and curries (see The Middle East).
The Middle East

The region’s alternative rock scene can trace its genesis to this Central Square landmark. Seminal local bands like the Pixies, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Morphine all honed their chops on the Middle East’s three stages. Today, the club continues the tradition, openly embracing musicians operating just under the mainstream radar.
The Modern

This glam martini bar offers a more poised alternative on Lansdowne Street for local urbanites. The swank Latin night on Fridays draws a hip crowd.
The Oak Bar

Exuding class from every polished wooden fiber, the Copley Plaza hotel bar exists in a sumptuous Edwardian fantasy world. Refreshingly, its patrons would just as well be seen in jeans as in Galliano. Most glasses at the bar are filled with the house’s signature martini.
The Pour House

Cheap, hearty pub grub and occasional drink specials lure college kids to this two-story bar and grill. It’s loud, it’s crowded, and you’re bound to make a friend or two.
The Rack

This well-mannered pool hall boasts a pair of full-service bars, 22 tables, and live music nightly. It is often frequented by pro athletes. No grungy dress.
Times Irish Pub & Bar

You can usually get a table at this large pub. Settle in for a night of live music and taste some of the 20 beers on tap.
Top of the Hub Lounge

Talk about a view: 52 stories above Back Bay, this bar dazzles with sweeping views, live jazz, and a wicked gin martini.
