What People Are Saying About The Tam

In Short – Theatergoers meet Emerson students meet barflies meet drag queens in one of the city's most diverse and eccentric bars. A sign behind the bar says "A Classic American Neighborhood Bar," but there's no neighborhood to be found, just the boozy crossroads of the theater district. Need a drink on the cheap? Look around at all the signage on the wall, with certain pints costing $2 and selected mixed drinks coming in under $5.

A bar that is *just* a bar in the middle of Boston
by vandim23 at Citysearch
This place is a glorious dive, an endangered species in and around the common. The drinks are cheap, the pours are heavy and the decor is tacky as it comes. Be aware though, the place is cash only so be prepared for that. It is the only place like it in that area, the mix of people is as broad as you can imagine and as far as value, the Tam is king.
- Pros: cheap drinks, surly funny staff, cheap drinks, easy atmosphere
- Cons: No food, cash only, very gross bathrooms

Best Dive Bar
by blanklyput at Citysearch
This bar was great, I'm so angry we didn't find it on the first night, because we would've stayed there until it closed. It was a great, great place to just hang out and be left alone, or talk to the people in there and shoot the breeze. Beers were much cheaper than anywhere else, like Cheers, or MJ O'Conners, at 3.50 a beer. We were only in town for a couple of days, but this place is definitely a top bar for me.
- Pros: Cheap prices
- Cons: None that can I think of.

Fun Place to Go
by webbonator at Citysearch
My friends and I stumbled in from Texas and knew from the moment we walked in the door that this was a cool place. Patrick and Lynn the Bartenders were awesome and made us feel at home just like everyone else there. We were surrounded by a wonderful mix of folks and had a great time. The draft beer was cheep and cold and the conversation was lively. It felt like home. My husband is going to Boston on business and I told him he had to got there. Cheers from Texas to all at THE TAM!
- Pros: Great Bartenders
