Boston Bachelor Party

[cyclonpediaJoe]

My buddy is getting married and we are going to Boston for his Bachelor Party. Were doing a tour of Fenway, going to a Sox/Sox game (he's from Chicago), and going to the Cheers bar. Planning on doing the Blue Bank Pavilion for a Rebelution concert too.
Anyone have any suggestions to go big in Boston?

If the majority of the guys in the party like craft beer, Trillium Brewing Company is amazing.

Skip Cheers. Overrated.

Harpoon is a good brewery tour.

Legal Seafood.

Ha! That's what I figured. Probably try to sell you a bunch of merch. Our group likes beer so maybe well hit up the suggested breweries.

Agree on Cheers. Just get a picture standing outside. Didn't do the Harpoon tour but the taproom is cool. Legal Seafood is really good. Union Oyster is more historic. If you're into history, the freedom trail is cool.

My wife lived there for a time when we were dating, so we made the trip, but it was basically a quick pass-though, see the "set bar" (which is not the actual bar, but one set up in the basement that looks like the one in the TV show), and get an overpriced mug with the Cheers logo.

Boston is a great city for drinking beer. I believe Sam Adams has a beer that's only available on-tap in Boston and is sold at quite a few places. Think it's called something like Brick Red.

At the end of the tour, you get to spend a few minutes in the tap room with (I think) as many refills as you can get of your souvenir glass. Legal Harborside is like 2 blocks from the Harpoon Brewery, so if the weather's decent, stop there to eat (and drink some more). I would assume you'd be into taking the T if your doing the bachelor party thing.

Drink and stock up on Yuengling.

If you happen to be going this weekend it's Boston Marathon week so everything will be packed.

As people have said make sure to find a seafood place. Oysters and chowder, maybe some striped bass. A good guys trip idea would be a charter fishing. Not exactly bachelor party material but I would love to do a historical tour.

This is not the first time I've heard this. I'll never understand the fascination with Yuengling from midwesterners.

Scarcity. I now live a place where you can get Yuengling. After the first month or so, I don't think I've bought any more of it.

It's a decent beer. But it's from Pennsylvania.

If you like seafood and good beer: Row 34. It's next door to Trillium.
