The Alley Bar

Gotta Love Alley Bar

friendly ambience , AWESOME drinks (try their apple martinis and TRY NOT to stumble out the door ) and the best bartender in town ( BOBBY NAGLE) make THIS place a good choice most any time! If your into bears, you can set your trap EVERY saturday night guyz. Ps: after work most nights is pretty busy too

The Alley Bar is Awesome

I love the Bartneders they make awesome drinks

incredibly friendly staff, very down to earth clientele fun after work or weekend nights -- queerioki on Sundays is great fun.they occasionally have underbear parties the best time in Boston with the least amount of close on YOU SHOULD GO

A shell of its former self

From 2002 to about 2004, this used to be a really cool chilled bears bar and sports bar. However, now its changed. It seemd to attract all of the attitude queens from the old 119 Merrimac bar. The staff seem bored, depressed and even unkempt. There even seems to be less of a bear crowd there but mostly queeny old trolls. If you like a masculine crowd, go to the Providence Eagle. It's a lot more fun. Skip this place.

Good and Bad

I like Friday nights in here because the true 119 regulars go in here. Saturday nights is their busiest. -Not bad but the staff is so depressing. The downstairs bartenders are gross. They play with each other and themselves in between drinks. They don't even wash their hands while doing this in public. Also, my partner and I noticed that near closing time, the workers actually drink alcohol while serving others. -Isn't that against the law and cause for termination? I am so glad I don't live in this city with behaviour like this going on. However, I still come here because I am most comfortable here than any other club in this rotten city!
