Bukowskis Tavern

So this place is a HOLE in the wall. However, this is not a bad thing in the least. I ordered the bacon cheese burger and fries. Normally I do not like fries (don't judge me I am not a fry guy). These fries were perfect. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned (it is amazing how many places don't do that anymore). The music here is very eclectic and played on a record player (how cool is that). This is a must stop for a drink and some food good.

This is my favorite bar in Boston after 5 years. Unassuming Irish kinda pub. There is only beer, no spirits, great food, and great drinks. You will walk over the highway to find a tiny red facade with four curved lights and Bukowski Tavern spelled out in big yellow font. It may not be wide, but the bar is long with plenty of bar stools and tables for around 40-50 people. Stickers line the back wall behind the bar. Make sure you bring some to add to the collage. Mugs hang from the ceiling, and they only play vinyl. If you are feeling adventurous, spin the wheel for a random drink. My friends and I play games to see who has to spin. The staff is always wonderful, adding to the conversation and keeping things lively.

Awesome little dive bar. Good beer selection. Food was a little pricey for how simple it was, but no complaints on the quality for a late night little bite and nightcap before heading home. Staff was great. Bartender was attentive and pleasant. Music was amazing. Rocking some great 80s tunes on vinyl. When I was leaving, the last vinyl playing was from the Cocteau Twins. I understand it was the bartender's private collection. Impeccable taste. 10/10 would be back for a couple of drinks either before heading out or heading in.
