416.0. "Boston is Great in 88'" by STEREO::BURNS (Wake up and smell the Turf) Wed Aug 03 1988 17:55

    
    	Boston Magazine has just published (August 88) 
        it's "Best & Worst" edition, relative to Boston.
    
    
    	Under the section of "Drinks & Hangouts" ....
    
    	Irish Bar:
    
    	BEST: MIDNIGHT COURT, 164 Milk Street, Boston. 
    	      Sure, it's shingled walls are tacky. But you won't find
    	      a better pint of Guinness or better pick-up acoustic Irish
    	      music anywhere in the city.
    
             (Some of you may be familiar with this establishment) :-)
    
    
                                       
    	WORST: BLACK ROSE, 160 State Street, Boston.
    	       Patrons are subjected to loud, third-rate music while
    	       being served by "brat-tenders" who pull Guinness as if
    	       it were Miller Lite - which is an insult to both beer and
               drinker.
                  
    	     (Me_Haul: This sounds like a place in Nashua N.H to me) ;=)

416.1	Get a good tour guide or two!!	DPDMAI::OREILLY	Wolfhounds Stand In Honor For Katie	`Thu Aug 04 1988 11:18`	18
	I highly recommend that those living outside of Boston find a couple of Bostonians to guide them to the various Irish Bars. If you can deal with their "Boston snobbiness", strange sense of humors and general crudeness!! ;-) Midnight Court has loud Disco music, doesn't it??! The volume varies drastically and the Irish bartender flirts with the young ladies, right?! The Black Rose has convenient restrooms althoughly cramped! What's the other one with the gorgeous bartender??? JO'R Austin here we come?? Not quite a decision yet. Very soon.....
416.2	where streams of whiskey a flow'in	COGVAX::CAREY	82 Laws through 82 Doors	`Thu Aug 04 1988 12:05`	6
	The other one is where the real men that drink the brown go. My Boston snobbiness will keep that a secret...;-) sorry no tours on weekends....Michael
416.3	It's Captain Crudness (not General Crudness) :-)	STEREO::BURNS	Wake up and smell the Turf	`Thu Aug 04 1988 13:20`	13
	JO'R The other place you are trying to name is "LIMERICKS" (That's where you'll find Michael Carey and the ESDC "Gang" from Mervue) The Barman in the Midnight Court (Ray O'Loughlin) is my cousin from Ballyvaughan Co. Clare. keVin
416.4	Elaborate	XCUSME::KING	Give me a Challenge	`Tue Aug 09 1988 04:18`	12
	Kevin, Which place in Nashua is that? The Killarnie? Most times you can't get into the Black Rose on a Friday or Saturday night, its crowded. Then they charge something like $5.00 "entertainment fee" to get in. I'll definately have to check out Midnight Court. Wonder what its like on a Sunday night? One of my nights off Wow is me... Bryan
