Editorial Review for White Horse Tavern – by Gerrish Lopez
In Short
Despite its location, between BU and BC, the horseshoe-shaped bar often holds as many neighborhood types and professionals as students. Most come in to chill with a friend over a pint or a game of stick (the two pool tables fill up quick). Beer selection is comprehensive if uninspiring (Harpoon, Newcastle, Magic Hat No. 9). Many patrons come in for upscale, yet affordable, bar fare like cobb salads and steak tips.

The White Horse has its typical negative reviews and most of them are pretty accurate. Before you even get in you'll have a miserable time because the bouncers are completely rude and act like they're the manager. Its infamous for it's ID policy where minors are usually caught at the door, but it doesn't stop there. The bartenders? They're just as bad. It's practically impossible to get a drink since you're rarely acknowledged and when you are, it's as if you're interrupting them (when they're just counting their tips half the time anyway.) They're just as rude as the bouncers. But in any case, a Tanqueray and Tonic for $4.50 is a deal and their $2 beer special (typically Miller High-Life) is always a bargain. With two bars and a pretty amazing amount of space (I never feel cramped there when I do go), it's a college bar all the way (heavily populated with BU students) with a bunch of recently turned 21 year old looking to get some action from the girls who are heavily intoxicated. Overall, it's a bar I try and avoid but if you're looking to play some pool (only two pool tables though) or catch a Red Sox game without Red Sox prices... its the place to be I guess. Honestly, avoid when you can unless you're broke and have some cash to spend on alcohol.
Pros: Cheap prices on food and drinks, lots of space to move around in
Cons: Bouncers and bartenders are extremely rude, crowd is the same every night
