Boston DUers: Suggest some places for a Tuesday Evening Happy Hour

[Skinner]

After putting off the decision for too long, we've decided that we're going to try to host a DU happy hour on Tuesday evening, July 27, in Boston.

We're looking for a place where Boston DUers, and DUers in town for the convention can get together and hang out.

We can't afford to buy drinks for everyone, but we could pay a little to rent a room somewhere, and maybe some finger food. We're hoping for a casual bar type place: Beers, Margaritas, maybe a big-screen TV if people want to watch the convention.

We're thinking it would start around 6PM-ish, and last as late as people want to stick around. We're also hoping that some folks in town for the convention would want to stop by for a bit before going to the Fleet Center for the evening.

Any suggestions for possible places?

1. Just get Matcom to host it at his house :)

2. I'm partial to the bar at the Tremont Hotel.

Right sized for the DUer's get together I think and reasonably close to the Convention Center.

Sadly, I doubt I can attend, but you never know....

3. The Rattlesnake on Boylston Street has a roof deck for smokers

and pretty good margaritas. The food is typical bar food (nachos and fried stuff). There are TVs and a pool table. It is right near the Green Line Arlington T stop.


J.J. Foleys is right in Downtown Crossing (Kingston St, behind Macy's) and accessible to all subway lines. It is a great neighborhood bar, with pretty good food.


Closer to the Fleet Center and Fanueil Hall, there's The Point. It used to be a dive, but is no longer. http://boston.citysearch.com/profile/11439131?cslink=search_name_noncust&ulink=search_5_searchslot20_520__0_profile_5_1

Silvertone is also downtown and has great inexpensive bar food and drinks. They have a BIG back room which you can rent or just take over, I believe. The phone number is [phone]

Paddy Burke's is right near the Fleet Center and Kerry HQ, but I doubt we'd be able to fit in there with all the Irish Dems in Boston!
