Barbes in park slope..world music every night, all ranges of ages, $5 red stripe, the only place in my neighborhood I feel like I could run into someone I know
Canal Bar in gowanus..I’m from chicago so of course I love the chicago bar. But it really is a good dive with big backyard and lots of regulars (also there’s malort)
Sunny’s..if you know the charm of Sunny’s you know. also music every night, I’m always down to go to red hook because of this bar

Grateful to be able to call one of the coolest queer spaces in NYC one of my many neighborhood bars! I don’t even drink, I just meet friends there.

There are so many, but here are my faves:
Cambridge:
Grendel's Den - Right in Harvard Square. It's been there for 50+ years and the vibe is it's a bar that has been there for 50+ years. Something about that is very charming to me. A plus is that Pinocchio's Pizza is pretty much across the street, so you can get a late night slice or three after drinks.
Plough & Stars - A favorite of many. A very cozy vibe and great live music.
State Park - 70s basement vibes. Wood paneling, a bunch of cool/weird neon signs and vintage lamps, and great food. Also pool and I think shuffleboard
Daedalus - Maybe more of a restaurant, but I love it. Also in Harvard Square
Somerville:
Highland Kitchen - Incredible food and a small bar. Mostly a sit-down place, but they have good drinks too.
The Burren - One of the best places in the Boston area and maybe my favorite. The best live music around. There are usually some Irish/folk/instrumental bands playing in the front room and some larger acts in the back room.
Saloon - A speakeasy, so to speak. Great drinks.
Olde Magoun's Saloon - Great spot for food/drink if you're near Magoun Square
Bronwyn - German bierhall with great food

I can’t tell you how many people I’ve come to recognize from them walking past the window of where I work every day. Some of them I have a rapport with. Some wave. Some don’t even know they’re in my life. Sometimes I see them in other places in the city. It’s kind of sweet, it makes the city feel small
