    Watch out for when they poor your $15 beer that's supposed to be 11oz in a 8.5 oz glass. Called the waiter out on this and the bartender, waiter, and owner treated me like I was shit.

    Go to the Publick House for the best Belgian beer bar in Boston, by far. Enjoy a beer with the frites, a cheese plate, or the mac & cheese.

    Take the "C" Green Line from downtown out to leafy Brookline. Great place to warm up in the winter.

    Add some jalapeños with your mussel pot for some great spice (and not super hot)

    Get the bucket of mussels #1 (basic) and #4 (corn and bacon) are awesome, #3 (garlic bread crumbs + cheese + spinach) is a little too flyover state.

    cider lovers: try the dupont French cidre. Imported cider is a much more dry than commercial American brands.

    They DO NOT accept vertical IDs, regardless if they're valid or not. Went across the street to the Abbey and got a drink no problem.
