"At some point, a friend from another school is going to visit you and want to see some “real Boston drinking spots in Southie.” After you break the news that Southie is now filled with dog-groomers and pretty much impossible to get to anyway, you can take them to the Sil. This is an old school dive with cheap beer, Buck Hunter, and an interior that hasn’t been touched since 1972. There’s often a line of students out the door on Friday and Saturday night, so it’s not like it’s completely a townie watering hole, but it’s close enough to get the feeling." - dan secatore
