November 26, 2018 Oak Barrel Tavern

Everyone was pretty pumped when Oak Barrel Tavern first opened. We went at 5pm and the hostess asked us if we had a reservation…and when we said we didn’t, she proceeded to tell us it would be an hour wait!!! Yikes! It has since died down a bit, and we have been there a few […]

June 7, 2017 Dudley Chateau

Growing up, I was pretty proud that I had never been to the town bar, the Dudley Chateau. Since moving back to the suburbs, I can’t even tell you the amount of times I’ve been there. And I brought kids. Townie bar with children. Yup, I’ve turned into that person. The bar is located on […]

March 20, 2017 The Parrot

I know that it seems like spring will never get here, and summer seems even farther away. I thought I would post about the Cape to get us all in the spirit! I know I’m looking forward to warm days by the ocean and catching up on some serious vitamin D! I know I have […]

May 24, 2016 Waxy’s

There are a lot of new restaurants moving into Fenway. If you’re looking for some place to go before the game that might ot as crowded as those right next to the park, try the newly opened Waxy’s in Brookline, right at St. Mary’s T stop. This modern Irish bar has a great outdoor patio, […]

May 19, 2016 The Kinsale

I have to admit, I haven’t been to the Kinsale since my college days. I was invited to check out their menu one afternoon for lunch. The restaurant is located in Government Center, steps from the T stop. If you’re driving in, the Kinsale offers free validated parking after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on […]

January 14, 2016 Loretta’s Last Call

I haven’t been to Lansdowne Street since my college years. I was excited to check out Loretta’s Last Call, a country bar, for their bluegrass brunch. Every Sunday they have a bluegrass brunch from 11-4 with live music. They do other fun events like free line dancing lessons on Sundays and Tuesdays and Bourbon tastings […]

December 23, 2015 The Abbey

If I were young(er) and single, I would be hanging out at the Abbey every night. This restaurant, located in Brookline’s Washington Square neighborhood, was packed with tons of good looking guys drinking beer and snacking on small bites at the bar. We had to wait for a table, as the restaurant is pretty small. […]

September 17, 2015 O’Grady’s Grill and Bar

I have mad respect for any place that puts a burger under “lighter fare”. We headed over to O’Grady’s up in Stowe on a Wednesday night – taking them up on those 1/2 priced burgers! O’Grady’s is a family run business located on the main road in Stowe with a casual, laid back atmosphere. When […]

May 7, 2015 underFiRE

For me, when I think of FiRE + iCE, I think tourists. Restauranteur Jim Miller and Rafael Barbosa opened a new restaurant located under FiRE + iCE called underFiRE. Miller and Barbosa were looking to fill a niche – a casual neighborhood space where people could come and relax after work. Even though they are […]

Mark, Bekka and I popped over to Solas for a drink one night. This cozy Irish bar is located right off of the lobby of the Lenox hotel. There are murals and celtic knots all around the bar, along with a Guinness poster or two. The space is warm and cozy, there’s a great fireplace […]
