Bukowski Tavern - Crossing

Atmosphere was great! Unfortunately the bartender was rude : we complimented that we thought it was cool that you only serve beer wine and she snapped that “yeah.. we’re a craft brewery” however, I don’t think that’s true! Being a craft brewery means you brew your own beers in house, which you do not do.

Rarely encounter such lack of welcome from a bartender but the person accomplished it in spades. Asked one question about a seltzer and got a sneer and he walked away. Not the demographic that the establishment was trying to attract is my estimation. Oh well when this happens one just move on to the next place.

I was visiting Boston looking for a local gay bar on a Wednesday night. This place came up on google. I believe I walked in to see a Pride flag, but that was about it. Def not your typical gay bar. Beer wine only, rock music, and seemingly all straight people. And the bartenders weren’t in a rush to get you a drink. I had one beer and continued on with my search.

Can be a bit crowded after fenway. Tight quarters but a decent beer selection.

Bukowski’s is a classic “Dive Bar” in Boston’s Back Bay. 50 Dalton Street, across from the Prudential Center/Hynes Convention Center. Best tasting cheese burgers and fries around for little dinero. So, if you love Rock N’ Roll and other Poets, living or dead? Bukowski’s is a must experience. Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a parking garage in the same building and everything is wheelchair accessible. As it should be.
