"The Model Cafe is one of the best bars in Allston. It’s also among the oldest. Harry Anthony, a Greek immigrant, opened the Model in 1932. The Model Cafe was a three-shift bar: It opened at 8 a.m. and closed at 2 a.m. It catered to truck drivers and local factory workers, and it used to be a full-service restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Nowadays, it's known for its cheap beer and hipster clientele." - Terrence Doyle
