What's so great about The Harp? Why not go to some other bar?
I live right near there, and there are bars down the street that don't have any line at all.

Seems to be a Halloween event tonight https://harpboston.com/calendar/

It turns into a club with events, like the Halloween one tonight.

It’s a Halloween costume party.

Don’t wait in line and don’t pay cover (unless live band). Life is too short, there’s a bunch of other bars

Yikes. This whole club mentality is so strange. Waaay back when...I did it for a very short time (under age) and just quickly realized that it was just a ploy to separate me from my money with a cover charge (for no reason) and expensive drinks.
The fact that there are older (30+) people in line, just makes me think this is just a tourist trap.
There are so many great cheap places to have fun and create good times, there is never a reason to pay cover....unless there is a known band playing a secret show. Otherwise - take a pass. it is never worth it.

I have never gone to a ticketed bar event that was worth the money.

Only good reason to go to the Harp (or pre Beanpot).

This is what happens when you restrict liquor licenses

It’s big for just turned 21 crowd coming into the city from the burbs for their big night out
Edit: I.e., nothing is great about it
Slibbyibbydingdong t1_iucfyvy wrote
Yeah but have you ever tried to fry something after drinking heavily? That’s how fire starts. Drunk cooking should best be left to the professionals.
BreakdancingGorillas t1_iucl8qk wrote
Fake
There are other bars even with the restricted license.
thoughtfillednorth t1_iucsayt wrote
Why are so many in line at this spot? Is there a free drink special? What makes this bar something more special than the other billion Boston bars?
How's the food here?
chadwickipedia t1_iucus84 wrote
Was thinking the exact same thing. I have a picture of me and a couple friends dressed up outside the harp from 15 years ago and you couldn’t catch me dead there now

Idk, when you are in your early 20s on Halloween, a crowded bar is a lot more fun than an empty one

>crowd coming into the city from the burbs
I wish we had a shorthand term for this like NYC's "B&T crowd" (bridge & tunnel).
chonkhonkytonk t1_iuddyma wrote
I dunno man. Maybe I’ve just always been an old lady, but me and most of my friends have never given a shit if a bar is crowded or nah. As long as I’m with my friends I’ll do anything. I’ll stand in a dumbass line for an hour and make it fun, but I’d rather actually be chilling inside where it’s warm and I have a drink in my hand
notclientfacing t1_iudedkc wrote
You’re not waiting in line because the bar is awesome, you’re waiting in line because you think you have a shot of going home with bodycon dress Tinkerbell (even though you’re just gonna get sloppy, Uber home, and order late night Chinese food)

The Harp is a bills bar? I’ve only ever been there to drink before Celtics games but this is funny news to me
TheRedGiant77 t1_iudg06r wrote
It sure is. There’s actually 2 Bills bars, the other is the Bleacher Bar at Fenway. They’ll truck in kegs of Labatt Blue and have Buffalo food events at these games and they’re always packed.
berriesnbball_17 t1_iudg76r wrote
Even when the Bills are playing the Pats it’s more Bills fans ? That’s pretty cool maybe I’ll have to check it out when they play each other this year
TheRedGiant77 t1_iudgm3k wrote
There will absolutely be more Bills fans there. I think they open about 2 hours before kickoff for a 1pm game and depending on the game there will be lines of people waiting to get in.
JiffiPop t1_iudh0zu wrote
The likely answer, knowing we’re in Boston.
Dukeofdorchester t1_iudhuy2 wrote
Oh yeah, they pack it out….and they’ve been doing so even before they were good

Hear you, but if presented with the chance to be 22 again but you HAVE to do stuff like this, are you taking the offer?

Yea I agree most everyone there was laughing and having fun. I posted a comment about seeing a lot of "cuties" and it got literally 8 downvotes. sad world we live in today I guess

They are the world’s best drunk food. You have it correct there.

I was just home upstate and went to a Halloween party and indeed, the labbatt was lousy on the ground. I forgot it even existed.

SkiingAway t1_iuehb22 wrote
Eh, unlike NYC, the commuter rail doesn't run late enough to use for a night out.
At least for the major lines, LIRR's basically 24/7, and NJT/Metro North have the last train of the night after 1AM and resume by around 5AM.

Those things are all scams anyways, I've rarely seen a bar actually be hosting the event it's usually just some shady company that barely arranges anything.

devAcc123 t1_iufdx10 wrote
The St Paddy’s one is actually kinda necessary if you plan on hitting the bars all day. Like all the major 20-30 year old bars require the wristband to get in if I remember correctly
devAcc123 t1_iufeim6 wrote
The LIRR is so funny. Last train is usually like 240 or the next one is like 425 right after the bars close. Was always a tough decision, the 430 one is never the correct move lol

Causeway next to it is a ravens bar I believe if that is relevant to you

So I was just going to the dispensary lol. had to go to the bank first and cut the line. at first I thought the line was for the bank I was like god please no...
