Bukowski Tavern

Dive bar. Music was a bit too loud. Otherwise great feel to the place. Friendly service, good tap list. Good prices. Would go back.

My train got canceled and stopped here to get dinner. Proper dive bar feel haven’t been to one in long time. Ok tap list. Prices were decent. Got a peanut butter burger that really hit the spot. Enjoyable and out of place for neighborhood.

Upmarket dive bar vibe. Decent beer list, food was good and generous portions. Staff friendly. Fun place to hang out.

Nearish Fenway and can get busy. Dark lit, long place, with plenty of bar seats, and a sort of dive bar feel. Reasonable taplist, with half-pours of everything available ($4-4.50), no flights. It's cash only, which is a downside. Service was rude too, refusing free samples with little explanation. And they put “In God We Trust” on the receipt - down rating for the religious bullshit preaching. Overall, wasn’t a top spot for me.

Thank God for this slice of unpretentious reality in the middle of convention-land. Spare, dark, wooden, no frills dive joint. Service is to the point but good. Nice range of brews. Expensive, but it's Boston. Food is adequate pub fare. Cash only, FYI.

Intimate, seedy interior - no wifi. Servers are alert and efficient, and make you feel welcome. Food is OK, though the serving of mozzarella sticks I got seemed a tad small for the price. Hey, you come for the beer, not the chow - this ain’t the Cherokee Town Club. Music is loud, but not so that conversation is impossible. A good place to stop in for a snort or two.

Not too big dive bar. visited in early afternoon not many people in there. Good tap list, some nice beers but PBR as well. Decent bottle selection. Prices were good. No WiFi. Worth visiting if nearby.

Even though I lived in Boston for 4 years and passed by this place many times, I never thought to venture in. Well, I am certainly glad that I did on my recent visit. This is a dive-like place literally perched over a highway. Themed after Bukowski (surprise). Dark. Played 80s new wave and David Bowie. Food was sweet potato tater tots. They were good. Beer selection was pretty nice. Very local, but with a well curated selection of out-of-state sours. Service was very nice. The waitress made suggestions and actually discussed the beer (not sure how much she actually knew, but she had real opinions). Basically, I came and left with no complaints. Cash only, but oh well.

This is a cool little grungy bar sitting just over a bridge with the Mass Pike flowing underneath. The painted red shack exterior looks out of place and pretty funny as it’s crammed into the parking complex. Inside is understandably narrow so try and squeeze a seat at the bar. Taplist is not the most eccentric but I was happy to see a couple of Jack’s Abby beers on. I had a chilli dog to eat which wasn’t bad. Dude working the bar was friendly and gave quick service. Cash only as others have mentioned. Cool bar.
