Confusion
I couldn't find this place to save my soul.. I did however manage to get a $50.00 ticket for driving on Washington st from a less than friendly cop... I even called twice... mind you there are two CVS's and probably two Dunkin Donuts on Washington St.... I was pissed...
daddies happy hour
Went there on happy hours during the week and saw no bears. But did saw a lotsbof daddies and mostly granpa. No music so weird ambiance.
A bear bar before there were bear bars
This bar is definitely Boston's Bear Central. It can go from just a few old guys sitting around the bar talking about the old Boston gay scene to a full on grunt-and-woof bar where everyone is mashed chest-to-chest. Say hi to Rockin' Joey, the bartender, on Saturday nights.
Every bar has a place.
Here you will find bears. NOT muscle bears but your average bear and down to earth nice people. Much better than Fritz and more manly than Ramrod. Some college students. Drinks are ok and the bartenders nice. On weekends it's cool. It gets half a star because if your attractive and eye candy, alot of unwanted admirers will hit on you. Like you were honey. The clientel is "average joe" but a little creepy.. Parking is none to expensive.
Friendly Neighborhood bar feeling.
Great place. Don't have to feel self conscious about anything, friendly people, great bartenders. Very comfortable bar.
