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.

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.

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

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.
