Best drinks in town!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

09/10/2006 Posted by distanttraveler

I've visited a lot of bars in a lot of towns in a lot of different places. I always come back to the Red Hat for two things...good drinks and good company. Like the "expert" review indicates, I started at this place as a Suffolk student and it's been my go to spot every time I return to Boston. You can't beat the food, you can't beat the prices and the one constant that has been there since my college days....Chris the bartender! The entire place has been completely redone, so you get the ambiance and atmosphere of a "fine dining" eatery upstairs, but you can still hang out and watch the games on the flat screen TV's downstairs. It's a great place to kick back and just be yourself while enjoying drinks and friends.

Pros: Drinks, food, Chris the Bartender

Cons: Like all Boston bars, they close at 2 am

Editor's Review

Quintessential dive bar provides Suffolk students and downtown workers with a casual spot for watching the game over cheap drinks.  See the full editorial review.
