"The Model Cafe is one of Allston’s great dive bars. Musicians and artists and skateboarders and locals occupy the space in sublime concert, sucking back very strong drinks and very cheap beers. The line on weekend nights gets long, so get there early. There’s a bit of food available, including bar pizza and hot dogs." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Erika Adams
