Rooftop of envoy hotel is a neat spot, coppersmiths in south boston is too but it is being shut down soon to build condos.
Barking crab if you want to get plastered and eat lobsters.
The Seaport is all new construction so not a lot of funk. You could venture further or take a boat taxi from ICA to anywhere on the harbor...
We've met a couple times for pre-Bosox game maggotry at Eastern Standard in Kenmore, they have outside seating and the food's good. https://easternstandardboston.com
Ah sweet! Yeah, was going to look up where they were, but kinda assumed they wouldn't be open. ButQuote:

Cambridge more funky. Brighton Allston too.
Edit: Silvertone on Bromfield is kinda funky. Not outside (in a basement) but good food.
Igloo bro :)Quote:

Trillium were pussies and didn't let people up on the deck, but the City Tap House had their patio open.
Those meetups have been the cause of some wicked hangoversQuote:

That Boston's still there, here's a good starting point: https://www.google.com/search?client...fi=hd:;si:;mv:
Not sure why the map's not working but they're all pretty downtownish.
No Name had sucked for years
No Name sucked balls!!! I puked after eating there.Quote:

This year is gonna be the one where I am able to make it to the Sox game get together.
Not super vibey, but if I was down in the waterfront I’d probably go get a sandwich at Flour and then take it and eat it down by the water. Or go schlep over to North End and the sandwich shop behind Bricco and eat it on the Greenway.
True but I meant the old original nn before when it was byob no liquor license,it was greatQuote:

Back when Eddie Andelman and Sports Huddle was on WEEI and they did a promo for the No Name every five minutes it was pretty good. That ended in like '76 or something like that.

Eastern Standard struggling to get a lease in place. Many great memories made. Hope it's just posturing.

Cafe Pamplona recently closed after 60 years. The times they are a-changin'.
From the article above, quote from Bob Luz, head of MA Restaurant Assoc:
That place is an institution in the area and a gold mine. The owner has three restaurants in the building that gross around $20m in sales. If those places can’t make it, then who do the owners expect to take their place in the near future? A(nother) chain?Quote:
Garrett Harker and Eastern Standard, are you kidding?” Luz said, as he went on to praise their skills. “I’d bet every day of the week, 100 percent on them, and I would not bet on anybody in there that replaces him.
I know a guy who chairs a state business board, he told me a couple weeks ago that there are 16,000 restaurants in the state and at least 4,000 of them would not reopen after covid closings. You'd think somebody who has a good tenant like Eastern Standard would want to keep them.

Whiskey's closed. Of the dive bar trio in that area I was more a McGreevy's fan but still spent plenty time at Whiskey's sticky bar.
