Editorial Review for Model Cafe – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Local artists' works cover the walls while fun knick-knacks pose above the bar, giving the place a little kick. Gulp a beer, munch on finger-food and shoot a game of stick all in a cool local dump: If you can forgo actual models in exchange for cigarette-smoke stained ceilings and patrons in cowboy boots, this is your bar. The Café's infamous in the local rock scene--J. Geils once kept rehearsal space below this joint.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The Model Cafe. This place is proof that Allston Rock City isnt dead, just drunk and taking refuge from BU kids. From the colorful doorman Jamie, to the well stocked jukebox, this place rocks. Theres enough cheap beer, strong mixed drinks, and bales of second hand cigarette smoke to make the Marlboro Man wish his iron lung could fit through the door.

Pros: price, people, amazing jukebox

Cons: smoky, bad ventilation, smelly bathrooms

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
