    I've been to some bad bars, but this is literally, actually, the Worst Bar in Boston, hands down. Terrible service, horrendous drink selection, crap building, boring music, etc, etc, etc. Avoid this p

    Third floor near windows. First person goes home with Rondo autographed basketball. Everyone else stick around for some Red Bull and other cool giveaways.

    They have a Foursquare sticker out front and they say no cover on Saturday for the first three check-ins. BULL. SHIT. Guy just acted like I was fresh out of the loony bin and charged me $10.

    Horrible club scene. I went once and it was awful but tried again, even worse. Attracts a shady crowd and women bouncers are bitchy/annoying
