Cash only and tough to hear yourself think on a game day, but worth it for the tater tots and craft beer list. Get a hot dog with mango salsa and guacamole, or with mac & cheese (really).
Sometimes a weekend greasy spoon is what you need. Bottomless diner coffee, attentive staff. Try a breakfast sandwich on a croissant.
A great Guinness pour, delicious burgers. Go here if you're in the mood for an Irish bar. Bring cash.
Rub elbows with Allston's hipsterati. A great place to see a show -- music or comedy. Bring cash!
Dive definition. Quite small and a little too neon-bright at all times, but it's still a top pick for cheap beers near the Common. Come here after a show, and bring cash.
Lots of $5 pint options, and their $2 Monday burger (add $1 for cheese; $1.50 for fries) is darn tasty.
