Banshee Bar

Banshee

Location:  934 Dorchester Ave,
Website:  www.bansheeboston.com

Phone: 617-436-9747

Price: $$

Ambience: students, football fans, families during the day, groups of people

Every Thursday I go to Banshee with a group of other international students and it's always a GREAT night. The atmosphere in Banshee is always really welcoming. The bar staff are really friendly and the bouncers at the door are never unapproachable, and always have good banter with the smokers of our group. 

I've eaten in Banshee once before the drinking commenced and I was really impressed. I had the macaroni cheese and it was only $8.49 and tasted amazing! If mac and cheese isn't your thing, the menu at Banshee is quite extensive. There's a big selection of burgers, starting at $8.49. You order at the bar, and the service is really quick. I think we only waited 10 minutes and there was actually 6 or 7 of us! Drinking wise, I am an avid vodka/cranberry girl, and in Banshee it's only $5 and the vodka levels are extreme - you'll be drunk after one - and beers are around $4.50. All other mixers with vodka are roughly around $5 as well. 

On Wednesday's, Banshee hold a trivia night that's really popular amongst large groups of friends and younger students. This bar particularly won the affection of my fellow British roommate, as they show Premier League games, which could attend to your interests also if you like that. My affection, however, was won by the karaoke that they host on a Thursday. It's highly entertaining, everyone is up for a good time and also, some dancing, depending on the alcohol levels - which are usually high anyway!

I would recommend a drinking night in Banshee to anybody visiting the area, it's a comfortable environment and everyone is always in good spirits here!

The Red Hat

Location: 9 Bowdoin Street, Boston MA 

Phone: 617- 523 - 2175

Direction: Red Line to MGH or Orange Line to Haymarket or Blue Line to Bowdoin

This place is super divey, but everyone is so friendly and they actually come to your table to take your order. Don't be surprised if you see a rally of sports team coming through after their games. But not only is the  music up to date (but not poppy) but they also serve world's best wings Sunday-Tuesday for 10 cents. 10 cent per wing. You just have to order a beverage. Uhhh... you'll have to order a drink if you are buying wings. Seriously though, 10 wings cost 1 dollar. can't be beat

Tremont 647

Tremont647

Location: 647 Tremont Street, Boston MA 02118

Phone: 617- 266 - 4600

Direction: Orange Line to Backbay

This place may seem a little classy because it's on tremont and everything in the South End is for the filthy rich. Don't you worry, this location not only has the best brunch in town and supposedly a poptart with a glaze but they also have Tuesday $2 tacos.  I hear it's all the rage. Get there early, I hear it gets packed. Oh and make sure to grab yourself a margarita for 9.50.

The Avenue Bar

The Avenue Bar & Grille

Location: 1249 Commonwealth Ave, Allston, MA 02134

Phone:  617-903-3110

Directions: Green Line (B) to Harvard & Commonwealth

I must start with the fact that this place has 30 beers on tap and it has an awesome atmosphere. On the wekends, it is usually loud making it a great place to make new friends. Now to the good stuff, they have $2 burgers on Mondays. Before the dip in the market it was $1, but they had to change it up. It is amazing, they put some crazy sauce on it that makes it orgasmic. I promise. It's so worth the trip to Allston.

Zuma Tex Mex Grill

Zuma Tex Mex Restaraunt- Faneuil Hall- Tacos -Tequila - BBQ

Locaation: 7 North Market Street (Faneuil Hall)

Phone: 617-367-9114

Let's just into it. They have $1 Taco Tuesday from 5pm to close for half off of apps and $4 margaritas. You can't beat it. Forget about the atmosphere and get your taco eating feast on!

Regina Pizzeria

Regina Pizzeria - Allston

Location: 353 Cambridge Street, Allston MA 02134

Phone: 617-783-2300

This place looks really cool. You wouldn't expect any deals here. But it is Allston. A lot o people aren't aware of the late night deals they have. Every night after 11pm - 1 am they offer $1 cheese slices and $2 pepperoni slices. On weekends this deal is available from 11pm - 2am. But to get this deal, you have to buy a beverage. It's allston though, you can get a $2 tallboy everywhere. If you don't know what a tallboy is, get out of Allston asap.

Breakfast At Ashley's

Ashley’sBreakfast

Location:  916 Washington Street, Braintree, MA, 02184
Website:  www.ashleysbreakfast.com

Phone: 781-848-8895

Price: $

Ambience: everyone and anyone!

Ashley’s is located on Braintree’s main road, Washington Street. It looks tiny from the outside but tables go right to the back of the building. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing breakfast, with a total chill environment. Ashley’s serve a lot of regulars. The atmosphere is really comfortable, small booths for 2 (comfortably) to 4 people or there’s a small counter for those who can’t function and socialise before their morning food ritual (like me). The staff is really friendly and attentive, and your food is with you within 10 minutes of ordering.

Ashley's is open 5am-2pm Monday through Saturday and 6am-2pm Sundays. Both the breakfast and lunch menus are pretty extensive. For lunch, Ashley's serve pastas and salads, stir fry's and sandwiches! But this post is about Breakfast at Ashley's.

The breakfast menu at Ashley's boasts sections dedicated to plates from eggs and French toast to waffles and full plate breakfasts. Both times I have visited Ashley’s I have ordered the “Big Breakfast” – two eggs (Sunny side up? Over Easy? Scrambled?), toast (white, brown, wheat, rye?), two sausages, two bacon, two pancakes/French toast (another choice?!) and home fries. This all for $6.99 is an absolute treat! If you want any extras with your meal, side orders are around $1.99 or $1.25 and tea and coffee are around $2 for those who need a shake in the morning. Ashley’s is really cheap and it’s something I would advise a visitor not to miss!

The Most Convenient Crawl in Faneuil Hall

Faneuil Hall, or Quincy Market for you out-of-townees, is one of the most popular spots for night life in the Boston area. It boasts a wide range of settings from nightclubs and lounges, Ned Devine's and Market for example, to sports bars and Irish pubs, like Stadium and The Black Rose. Most of which are synonymous with many bar crawls that occur in the area. However, no combination of these locales are as convenient as the three adjacent bars located on the corner of Commercial st and Chatham st.

Sissy K's

Address: 6 Commercial St. Boston, MA 02109

Phone: (617) 248-6511

Prices: $

Hours: 11:30am - 2:00am

Menu: http://www.sissyks.com/menu.html

Website: http://www.sissyks.com/

Before the sun sets Sissy K's is a popular lunch destination for the downtown working crowd. The wide range of food, and of course the low prices pull people in. However at night this bar becomes a different animal. When you first walk in you'll notice the seating is relatively cramped, which at first may seem like a pain in the arse, but it allows for good social interaction. After a minute or two you may notice that the entire place is shaking, the cause of that would be their dance floor upstairs. As you ascend the stairs, directly across from the entrance, the atmosphere changes from old style bar into a club that you can do nothing but dance and lose your voice "talking". During the week it has the potential to be dead because its well... during the week, but you can definitely have a great spontaneous weeknight out here on the right day. When the weekend rolls around this place along with the entire Faneuil Hall area is packed.

Hong Kong

Address: 65 Chatham St. Boston, MA 02109

Phone: (617) 227-2226 

Prices: $

Hours: 4:00pm - 2:00am
Menu: http://www.hongkongboston.com/menu.html

Website: http://www.hongkongboston.com/

Only about ten steps and a left turn away from Sissy K's Hong Kong is a well known dive bar with an Asian theme. What can I say about this shhhi... great place. The food is predominantly Asian cuisine, but it has a few other options for those who want to stray from the theme. The drinks and food alike are very low in price, however when you pay $1 for a beef teriyaki don't expect Ruth Chris' filet mignon on a stick. They employ a full bar so just about any normal drink you can think of they can oblige. If you decide to check this place out the order that is of paramount importance is the world famous scorpion bowls. They began serving the scorpion bowl in the late 18 early 1900's under the rule of... just kidding they are definitely a must do while your there.

Wild Rover

Address: 61 Chatham St. Boston, MA 02109

Phone: (857) 263-8715

Prices: $

Hours: 4:00pm - 2:00am

Website: http://www.wildroverboston.com/

Wild Rover, the bar formerly known as Trinity, is yet again only a few steps away from Hong Kong. Out of the three bars featured here this is probably my favorite to go in order to have a good time and meet new people. There are two full bars; one on the first floor and another on the second with a side lounge that has a limited bar for functions and busy nights. All the drinks served here are priced the same as the aforementioned locations, however there is no food here because the main purpose of this location is to be a bar/nightclub. The feel is very similar to Sissy K's with a normal busy bar atmosphere on the main floor and a dance floor upstairs. Wild Rover offers a heightened experience in comparison to it's neighbors, especially in the overall quality of the aesthetics. The lighting, tables, chairs, stools, and the bar it self is visually improved along with the overall space given to move. If I had to recommend going to only one of these places this would be it. If you really want to have a good time though try the most convenient crawl in Faneuil Hall because you will have a great time spending next 2 nothing.
