Party Earth Review: Despite its upscale Charles Street address, Beacon Hill Pub goes for the dive bar vibe, stoking its gregarious, fratty atmosphere by offering some of the cheapest pints in Beantown. A magnet for the local college crowds and twenty-somethings looking to get plastered, the large bar serves its drinks in plastic pint cups as a safety precaution, since loss of motor skills is inevitable at this Boston landmark. Despite the pub’s seedy atmosphere, patrons settling in on the diner-style swivel chairs at the giant twin bars are more likely to bump up against smooth-shaven, polo-shirted guys and giddy sorority girls than the leather jacket and handlebar mustache set or world-weary bar flies. Although blaring rock music helps maintain the party atmosphere, those in need of more entertainment can try their luck at Pop-A-Shot or Buck Hunter along the back wall, write snarky comments on the chalkboard, or make a game of spotting the lip-locked preppy singles in the dark corners. Like any good dive, Beacon Hill Pub takes cash only, though patrons are sure to be paying for their fuzzy memories well into the next day.

Beacon Hill Pub Review

Tip from Lucas:

“After a few $2 pints of Busch Light or whatever special is on tap that night, you’ll feel the need to leave your mark. Luckily it’s encouraged here, so grab some chalk and document your domination of the foosball table on the wall.”
