    Wow...1 week away! What do you guys think EV will open up with?


    Walking The Cow, obviously


    Or almost obviously
    Having tasted, a life wasted....

    ....I'll probably only go back a couple more times.

    How is the Parking situation? I know there is a garage nearby. Is it easy to get a spot there?


    Your absolute best bet for parking is to park underneath the Boston Common in the parking garage.

    Enter on Charles Street, the road that bisects The Common and The Public Garden.

    5 minute walk

    I went to several places yesterday and got the best vibe from the hub pub.

    Hub Pub - liked, need directions for everyone
    Sweetwater-good possibility
    Sidebar - Closed
    Fajita Rita - seems like a quick bite restaurant
    Rock Bottom - I guess we could, but I like character in a place
    Jacbo Wirth - If we want privacy I suggest this place
    Kennedy's - right next to the hub pub and more $$
    Beantown - too small and too packed.
    JJ Foley's-honestly didn't try to find

    I walked up and down each side street in the area to make sure we didn't miss anything.

    So what do people think?????

    Hub Pub sounds great. Thanks for doing the legwork, jecica. Hey, did you hear back from the Wishlist folks about whether we'll be able to do a fundraiser either night, or just a meet-up?

    Oh, and I saw that Crazy Breed posted this Google maps link earlier with directions from the bar to the Opera House. Maybe we could edit the first post of this thread to include the relevant information?

    Looks like just a meet up 8(.....

    Since we don't have a good count, should I bother reserving tables? Friday we can't, but Saturday yes.

    How will we identify ourselves? Have at least one person in your group wear a PJ shirt? (to annoy the people who think it ain't right). Hold a red carnation or particular color scarf?

    just look for people with a big-ass smile on their face!!!

    EDDIE! EDDIE! EDDIE!!!!!


    who is showing up early like me? i'll probably be in Boston by 12 or 1-ish

    i'll probably go straight to the pub for lunch and a few brews followed by a walk(420) to the commons.

    anyone know if the hub pub is 18+, might have someone comming who is under 21...just wanna know if they could get in (not to drink)...is it like a restaurant too?


    it is a restaurant too but someone said they card at the door(this will be my first time there),so i guess the best thing to do would be to call the pub and find out.

    I THINK if you get there early enough say 4 or 5 they do not card.

    Actually I have been MANY a time after work and have never been carded (nor did they have someone at the door so save the "You're getting old duuuude", jokes.)

    Hhahaha! Nice! I hear ya on the McRibs!

    So good going in....terrible on the way out!!!

    I just got a random PM from someone stating: I Love McRibs too. It was hilarious!

    Anyway, I'm gonna try and make it to the Hub Pub, that is if I can get my drunk fat ass out of the Sidebar. (Which is unlikely because I will be playing Golden Tee all day)

    So what do people think?????

    Beantown Pub too small? HUH?

    After the bar, Beantown has a big back room with pool tables, but more importantly a private side room (pretty big) that can be reserved for free, which would be perfect for a pre-party.

    Hub Pub is actually smaller. Also, Sidebar is not closed, the store front next to it is closed.

    As someone who has frequented these three bars on numerous occassions, Beantown is the better of the three....especially for handling a function.
