Good Drinks

2. The Druid

Neighborhood: Inman Square

3. Bukowski Tavern

NOT set up for good conversation, so don't go there if you want to talk to anyone... go there to drink beer.  And Be Warned!! They ONLY HAVE BEER, and they are CASH ONLY. Oh - and it's full of emo kids...

3. The Field

Neighborhood: Central Square

part is there is separate room with a pool table ($1 of quarters is all you need), darts, and flat screen TV.  The bartender was nice and the guy checking IDs entertained my question about the bar's...

4. Bukowski Tavern

5. J. J. Foley's

Neighborhood: Downtown
