"One of the most reliable spots for a beer under $10 (yes, it’s come to that) in Boston, Bukowski’s also serves wine, but they don’t have the hard stuff. It’s usually crowded with interesting people, they won’t take Amex (cash is preferred, but they do take Mastercard) and it’s appropriately shabby. What they do have is a kitchen that turns out surprisingly good bar food, like chili cheese dogs, poutine tater tots and big, messy burgers." - Nathan Tavares, Tanya Edwards
