"In contrast to the myriad Irish pubs dotting the downtown Boston map, few tourists make it out to the far reaches of Somerville’s Teele Square; here, you’ll instead find a lively group of locals and students from nearby colleges. PJ Ryan’s is a casual neighborhood spot here, where TVs usually show at least one sports game, snacks come in buckets, and fries can be smothered in curry sauce and cheese. The beer selection is solid, with a few harder-to-find craft brews offered in addition to the Irish pub standards." - Molly McDonough
