A long time local staple that has served generations. Really great bar. Beer forward but I'm glad that they now offer cocktails. The staff's knowledge of brews is incredible. Truly a local gem.

What an incredible hole-in-the-wall pub. I was at a conference at UMass and was recommended to visit here for an eclectic selection of beers from around the world. So glad I took their suggestion! Soooo many delicious choices, from light to boozy. If you're daring, join the Mug Club.

Love love love Moan and Dove. It's got such a good upscale dive vibe. Incredible selection of beer and the whiskey list has expanded in recent years. They always have sours and stouts on tap (my personal favs) and I hear great things about the IPAs and bottle list. Bartenders are very amenable and will take care of you. Also there's peanuts and board games. Dog friendly, but no outdoor seating.

The best beer bar in the country. The vibes are wonderful, the staff are friendly, and the beer selection hasn't been rivaled by anyone. Rotating local draft beer with a world renowned bottle list from everywhere on the globe. It's worth the stop.

This pub has an outstanding beer collection! If you can't have beer, they also have an excellent liquor selection. No food offerings maintains the chilled out vibe of the place. Thumbs down on the peanuts, they are kept out in a large wood barrel and are often stale and bugs can be seen in the barrel. Highly recommend if you are going out with good friends and want to enjoy your conversation.

Hands down, the most incredible beer menu I have ever seen!! This is an absolute must for any beer lover.👍👍👍 And you can bring in food; they have no on-site food. We ordered from around the corner and brought it in.😋😋😋

Mellow bar with lots of great brew selections. And I mean beer, not tea. Plus, they have free peanuts 🥜 as an accompaniment. We will visit again.

The type of bar where the strangers are worth talking to, the music is always fire, and the bartender will get into a 5 minute diatribe on an obscure yeast that gives the amazing beer you’re drinking its flavor. I’ve lived all over the state and this is my favorite bar by a mile. Nothing even comes close

What a perfect hang out spot. Impressive selection of beers and whiskeys. Bonus: Sibie's is within walking distance and you can bring in food.

Lovely, dark, charming. Little hidden gem of a bar with several booths, couple of high tops, bar stool, no frills and warmth in abundance. Amazing selection of beer bottles from afar as well as domestic breweries. About a dozen taps. Add in free peanuts, small - but well curated cocktail list - and dog friendly? What else could you ask for!
