Discovered The Providence pub last weekend and it was such a cosy place
Quite small, felt like I was chilling in someone's living room, surrounded by funky decor mixing scuvadiving, boats, books, plants... would recommend
look im not a huge club guy, so I found my happy place at this tiny bar downtown called Mr. Dooley‘s where they pour one of the most delicious Guinness’s I’ve ever tasted and an older Irish man played live music all night. it was just lovely and warm and I could speak with people I didn’t know - just so relaxing and fun and nice, more wholesome for me :)))
Pub in Jamaica Plain where I was a trivia regular for 2017-2020 and would stop by on a occasion after I moved to Cambridge. They don't have trivia anymore but its a nice place to have a couple beers with some friends in a down to earth environment. They had cheap PBR/'Gansett/Yuengling and a good selection of new england craft beers like Proclamation/Maine Beer Company/Fiddlehead (before it was widely distributed). It is dark, has a homey wood interior and a slow to warm but sweet bartender named Jess. They play good music like classic soul and the Smiths. One time a barback that looked like Billy Joe Armstrong played Beach House for like an hour. Overall, everything you want out of a neighborhood bar.
Just people sharing snippets of their life, recommending things they genuinely like, talk about things they dislike... it feels authentic compared to other platforms where everything feels like a show
