Great down to earth place

I just moved to Boston from Chicago and I found this place to be really cool! Friendly staff and guests. a bar with no attitude. Now that's something nowadays:)

Fun and friendly

Had a great time here, but the atmosphere is little bright. It's a large open space, so it's hard to feel cozy, unless you're off in one of the corners. People were very friendly. A pool table dominates the space. Great bartenders.

Best Bar by FAR in Boston

Always have a grrreat time at the Alley. From the Friendly DoorBears to the Beartenders who pour a good drink to the friendly 30's-50's crowd, packed with Bears & Cubs and their admirers and the more than occasional Leatherbear, this place is always a good time.. Friday happy hour is just that - happy. And weekend the upstairs bar and environs can get mighty frisky. I never miss a night at the Alley when in Boston!
