The Green Briar (Rating: 36%)
Tuesdays
Pros
- You can hear the guy
- Better beer selection than Joe's
Cons
- Not a lot of veggie food (no vegan meals at all)
- They don't use a computer to calculate the score
- Small tables that aren't easily adjustable make it tricky with large groups (I don't know if this is really a downside of this place.. The tables are pretty damn big --JohnSullivan)
- It's a ridiculously long commute for just about everyone.
- No pitchers
- Beer is expensive ($4.50/pint).
Tonic Bar / The Met Lounge (Rating: 66%)
Tuesdays
They have a couple of pool tables, which would be a big bonus (at least JohnSullivan would like to hang out and play a game or two of pool after trivia), but for the fact that they seem poorly maintained. Balls didn't drop, then cue ball didn't drop, then the table proved to be unlevel enough to really ruin the game. Meh.
Pros
- Good beer selection, good price on pitchers
- Better beer selection than Joe's
- Good food
- Good atmosphere / lounge feel
Cons
- Parking
- Not a lot of people
- They don't use a computer to calculate the score
The Six House
Thursday
Pros
- Across the street from the T
- Good stella
- Pretty good food
Cons
- Southie
- They won't let us win because we bring the hammer with too many people
- No spinach
- No UFO (this might have been as temporal as the Stella)
