Craft Beer Cellar has one of the best beer selections in the Boston area, and it's also a great place to get glassware, beer-related books and magazines, sauces made with beer and even apparel.
Top-notch craft beer bar in a city that doesn't have too many. Great selection of sour ales, often including vintage Russian River "tion" beers. And Pliny the Elder bottles. Pliny.
This place is conveniently located a block from Russian River Brewing. Pack up a bunch of Pliny and some "Tion" beers and ship 'em home.
The best thing about This place is obviously the world-class beer but their prices are a close second. Very reasonably-priced pints and pours. Oh, and eat some Pliny Bites. Yesss.
Conventional wisdom suggests avoiding chicken dishes at steakhouses, but the Brick Pressed Chicken here is fantastic. The Valrhona Chocolate Layer Cake is also obscenely delicious.
Food = fantastic. Service = abysmal. Bring cash so you don't have to worry about them messing with your card when you leave a terrible tip.
Order your coffee at the bar before paying, and avoid standing there for 10 mins like a dumbass waiting for coffee they aren't making. Like me. You order the coffee first then move on to pay.
Great little beer-garden-esque spot with an impressive and informed craft beer list and lots of varying sausage types, including vegan and vegetarian options. Get a Russian River brew. Yes.
Best bagels in the Boston area, hands down. (Salt is my favorite.) Also a great selection of tofu cream cheeses for you vegan types. BONG.
