Ryan "The Lion" W.'s Profile
Mmmm. Beer.
See All Lists
1. Shooting Star Saloon
This place has it all: a haunted jukebox, a stuffed Saint Bernard head on the wall, heart-stopping burgers, super-sweet bar staff, a cheap pool table, and pitchers of delicious beer. It only gets better if you combine a stop here with a hike down…More »
2. Squatters Pub Brewery
When you visit Buffalo, people ask you if you had the wings. When you visit Boston, people ask you if you went to Cheers. When you visit New Haven, people ask if you ate the pizza. When you visit Salt Lake City, people ask you if you've been to…More »
3. Red Rock Brewing Company
In downtown SLC, it comes down to Red Rock vs. Squatters. It's six one way, half a dozen the other in so many ways. But there are a few differences. Squatters has better merch and ice cream: Red Rock is less in-your-face, with a more sophisticated…More »
4. Trina's Starlite Lounge
Hands down my favorite bar in Cambridge, and that is saying A LOT. Probably because it combines the best of all possible bars. It has the cheap beers, laid-back atmosphere, late-night menu and constant potential for mischief you'd find at a dive. It…More »
5. The Brickyard Pub & BBQ
For a long time now, I've thought the best BBQ in the region had to be Dinosaur BBQ in Rochester, when it's actually much closer, right here in Lewiston, at the Brickyard Pub & BBQ.
What makes it better? Well, for starters, it's entirely unhyped. I…More »
6. Matt Murphy's Pub
Brookline Village, MA 02445
(617) 232-0188
I no longer worship this place as much as I did when it was, well, the only bar I'd ever been to. Lots of bars are now doing what Matt Murphy's has been doing for a while, but I'd still go to bat for their fish & chips, their friendly bartenders,…More »

I've been a regular of Matt Murphy's for 2 years now, since the night Aaron, a friend of mine, asked… Read more »
7. PA's Lounge
What do cheap beer, the Red Sox, and emo strippers have in common? PA's Lounge, an amazingly laid-back Union Square venue with a two room setup: on one side, there's a well-lit bar with lots of stools and standing room. They carry their own house…More »
8. The Barking Crab
Boston, MA 02210
(617) 426-2722
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Waterfront, South Boston
This place is known as a tourist spot, so when I have visitors, I take them.
This is mostly because I have visitors who come from places that are less pretentious than Boston, and they enjoy eating fried food in an environment that doesn't make them…More »
9. The Harp
My gay gentleman friend and I ventured to the Harp for the first time with the Guerilla Gay crowd, and ended up having the time of our lives.
I have no idea what the regular bar scene is like at the Harp, but from the Yelp reviews I'd imagine I…More »
10. Blue Monk
Buffalo, NY 14222
(716) 882-6665
Categories:
American (New),
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Elmwood Village
An awesome beer bar that's become a victim of its own success. The Blue Monk is THE go-to recommend for serious beer drinkers in Buffalo, but the irony is, if you go during regular evening hours, you can't really chat up the bartenders about what's…More »
11. 223 Allen St
Buffalo, NY 14201
(716) 884-4338
Categories:
Dive Bars,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Allentown
Full disclosure: my brother DJs a monthly event here, so my experiences have been mostly shaped by his soundtrack and his buddies, all local 20somethings who come here for the cheap booze, the pool tables, the friendly bartenders and the chicken…More »
12. Cole's
Buffalo, NY 14222
(716) 886-1449
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Bars,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Elmwood Village
This place is an Elmwood staple, an old-man bar that seems to draw an all-ages crowd -- perhaps because they're working hard to serve customers well and stay relevant on a hipster-fying strip.
Last time I visited, we had a GIANT party of family…More »
13. Lord Hobo
Cambridge, MA 02141
(617) 250-8454
Categories:
Bars,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Inman Square, Kendall Square/MIT
The way you can distinguish a decent beer bar from a great beer bar is not actually the beer.
It's the people you meet there.
There are plenty of watering holes around town now that offer cool craft brews to any Sox-capped bro-dude who comes…More »
