The Publick House in Brookline

In Brookline, MA: Great beers and fantastic Mac & Cheese! Dave, the owner, was knighted in Belgium for his work with beer.

Armsby Abbey in Worcester

Six Belgian beer taps, great bottle selection and slow food makes this a great place to visit! Owner Alec and his wife can be found behind the bar most nights.

Deep Ellum in Somerville

Fantastic beers and really good food. Max runs a great place.

Dive Bar in Worcester

Easy to miss the bar, not well signed or even looking like they are open, but you gotta go if you love domestic high quality brews! No food, no credit cards!

Jacob Wirth Restaurant in Boston

Wicked old, wicked cool ... just wicked (as we say in Boston). Great beer list, both bottles and draft. Classics on the menu. Known locally as Jac'ys.

Roadhouse BBQ in Brookline

A "this" and "that" set of bars, two, that are full of American quality micro's and some imports. Belgian's are up the street at Publick House.

Stones Public House in Ashland

Haunted, it's a terrific old, old bar with a great vibe. Big working fire place. 8 taps and a good bottle selection. Love the wings. Music many nights.

Sunset Grill in Boston

Like 100 beers on tap and wonderful wings!

Doyle's Cafe in Boston

Olde School Irish Pub with history and charm.

The Chicken Bone in Framingham

Good beer selection, even a couple Belgians in bottles, but the BEST wings around. Several styles and three levels of hot. Both boneless and bone in. Great!!

Chicken Bone The in Boston

Great place a block from Fenway Park for beer and wings. Same great wings as the original in Framingham and only open for the baseball season.

British Beer Company in Barnstable Town

A growing chain that has several good beers.

Bleacher Bar @ Fenway in Boston

No ticket, no problem. See the game from below the bleachers at the Bleacher Bar.

Horseshoe Pub in Hudson

Lots of taps but many macro's and could use an upgrade in service. 6/2009-was in the area and dropped in: Service much improved and tap selection was very good!

Red Bones in Somerville

In addition to great hot wings try the shrimp! Super beer line up as well. A five star bbq place.
