Weekend Getway: Boston Edition

When I went to Law School back in 2012 I never expected to have such a connection to the City of Boston. Living in Rhode Island I had been to the city a few times for Red Sox games and day trips but nothing more than that. But after living in the city for four years I was genuinely sad to leave and move back to RI. I had not been back to Boston since 2018 so when my girlfriend pitched a weekend in Boston as a birthday present, I was very happy.















We visited a few breweries, Dorchester Brewing was absolutely amazing and deserves (and will be getting) its own post. We also visited Cheeky Monkey Brewing and Brato Brewhouse which were both very good as well. Saturday we spent walking around Beacon Hill and stopped at Beantown Pub, a bar I became VERY familiar with during my time at Suffolk to get lunch. While Beantown does not have an extensive tap list, they do have an old reliable go to, and my gateway beer, Harpoon IPA. They also have great food with awesome service. However, the highlight of the trip was our dinner at The Publick House on Saturday night.

Now, I have had a long love affair with this Brookline institution. Easily one of the top craft beer bars in the area with an awe-inspiring tap list and some of the best food you will ever have. I started the night with a trappist beer from Chimnay and ended with a kettle sour from Banded Brewing. Both were amazing and with dinner being a short rib sandwich I was in absolute heaven. Also, for the first time since the pandemic started, I was able to sit at a bar and have a beer which was something I did not think I would miss as much as I did.


























We left on Sunday but not before stopping at Anna’s for lunch, I always go with the super quesadilla and it never disappoints. Overall, we had a amazing weekend and I really cannot wait to get back to Boston… Mainly just so I can get back to Publick House.
