    Monk's Frites are great. Beer selection is excellent. Veggie Burger is good too, but get toppings (avocado, cheese, grilled onions) or it's super plain.

    McChouffe is almost always on tap and is always delightful. Frites with chipotle mayo are a must.

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

    The best restaurant made mac-n-cheese you will ever have, never a dull beer moment. Go early weeknights. The weekend crowd causes an unfortunate wait and not much room to order while-you-wait drinks.

    If you like Guinness then try the O'Hara's on draft! Same type of Irish Stout but with 100x more flavor than Guinness - and Guinness is/was my favorite beer.

    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.

    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.

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