The trick was to not try and get drunk at the Top of the Hub, because you'll waste a ton of money.

Top of the Hub was always an excellent way to start the night with your first drink or two with a view. Then you go somewhere cheap and dingy to get proper drunk.

“Then you go somewhere cheap and dingy” …. Now I am interested! Where?

The answer to this question was Pour House. It was the cheapest place to get a drink (and food) in Back Bay IMO. But alas, it closed and I had to move out of Boston after a COVID layoff, so I don't really know a good spot anymore.

I hear Pour House is reopening from my old friends, but I kind of doubt that it will retain the old unbelievable price points it used to have.

1/2 Price Mexican on Thursday nights was our staple in our college and post-college years.

The Tam, for sure (if you don’t mind a bit of a walk or to hop on the T).
