Hi there!

Welcome to our blog!

Take some time to weigh in and vote on the bars ABC Club has hit in Boston so far. Comment on great times had, make suggestions for future bars, and take a trip down memory lane (necessary because you may not really remember every bar so clearly!).

Check back often for more A, B, C themed reviews, guest bloggers, and ABC Club news from all the chapters!

Bases Loaded

Baseball Tavern – May 28, 2009
Group Size ~ 75

Ambience – If the Red Sox are at home, this Fenway-side bar is crawling with fans. When they aren’t in town, Baseball Tavern remains a great place to watch a game, meet up with friends, and enjoy the evening on the roof deck. Lots of space, bars on four levels, and friendly staff are bonuses!

Bottom Line – Reasonably priced drinks with a kick. You get your money’s worth with a strong mixed drink and there are plenty of yummy beers to choose from.

Cheers to – ABC taking over. The WI Alum Club joining to celebrate their love for all things B…including Bucky Badger. The many, many free apps and the strong drinks.

Overall Rating


Ashley says…They gave us a ton of free delicious food and were very nice. The roof deck is awesome, especially on a nice day! Definitely worth going to on a game day or non-game day!

Leslie says… Despite the rain, BBall tavern was a hoot! Plenty of free apps to keep our bellies full and plenty of random dance parties. The jukebox was great and having a Dominos next door for the late night snack is superb!

Jessica says…B marked my first time to miss ABC Club. Travel plans got in the way!

A Rainy Night

Atlantic Beer Garden – May 14, 2009
Group Size ~ 30

Ambience – Like its brother Brighton Beer Garden, ABG packs tons of brews, tvs, and bar grub under one roof. On a nice day, enjoy a great patio overlooking the Harbor. The full square bar provides plenty of seats with access to a big beer list.

Bottom Line – Typical beer prices with a nice variety of taps. Food choices are traditional but with a nice mix of seafood to represent the waterfront location.

Cheers to – Starting a new season in a new location! Jeers to – Crappy weather raining on our parade, and a power-hungry doorman that didn’t sympathize with those standing in line to get in. All three teams losing!

Overall Rating


Ashley says….The deck out back was awesome. Food was good and service was fast. The place was pretty crowded but that’s because it’s a great place to watch game since there are TVs and huge screens everywhere you look!

Leslie says…While I love the location on the water and the plentiful TV screens, it’s not worth battling the crowds that roll in on Thursday nights. Pick another night and you may thoroughly enjoy yourself, and the mounds of fries they serve!

Jessica says…I was pretty disappointed with our outing to this Beer Garden. No Young’s Chocolate Stout available as advertised? Over-busy servers that couldn’t handle the crowd? L I did enjoy my chili and abundant supply of French fries, and of course the company of fellow ABCers!
