About Bukowski Tavern
Named after America’s literary “laureate of the lowlife,” Bukowski Tavern is a great combination of sloshy dive bar and beer aficionado’s paradise that attracts students, hipsters, and blue-collar types alike.
Dimly lit and featuring the requisite details of any good dive – namely, walls lined in beer bottles, blaring rock music, and a cluster of regulars hunched on stools – the venue also offers an impressive brew menu with everything from basic ales and lambics to exotic Japanese sake/ale hybrids and bacon-flavored German rauchbier (smoked beer).
Within walking distance of Fenway, the venue is fairly laid-back during the week when locals and Sox fans drop in for pre-game drinks at the bar or fill the tables to down some greasy bar food.
The place gets plenty rowdy on weekends, though, when hordes of trendy Berklee music students and hip twenty-somethings turn the narrow space into a drunken mess as they throw back more than a few unusual brews and scream over the music, while patrons overwhelmed by the selection of suds usually just spin the brightly-colored “beer wheel” and let chance decide their poison.
A grungy take on the gastropub, Bukowski Tavern is a great option for both weekday beer samplers and weekend partiers into elbow-to-elbow action.
Bukowski Tavern Review By Jason B. : Cambridge, MA
This place has gone out of its way to make me revise my opinion of it. In the last six months, every bartender has seen fit to smile, say hello, and be super awesome. The servers have done the same. The beer lines have been immaculate. The food has been high quality.
Also: in one fantastic evening, the staff looked with favor upon my decision to inappropriately dance to George Michael at the suggestion of Nicole V., who promised me free beer upon the completion of said inappropriateness.
When the entire bar erupted in an impromptu dance off, I knew that my opinion of Bukowski had changed forever. I can no longer be the grumpy old bastard that hates on this place. I'm a fan.
