Croke Park

Amazing place to have a drink! Forget the stereotypes, friendly regulars and great staff. Don’t get me wrong, the bar is def a stereotype, but it’s an amazing time!

Very nice neighborhood pub. Nice music and vibes, good beer, cheap prices, you can bring/order your own food, pool tables, darts.. I like it.

A group of my friends needed cash to get in to the bar and everyone was over 21+. When using the convenient ATM for a cover, the bouncer held on to my ID and when requesting to retrieve my ID after being denied access, he required me to pay the amount I dispersed from the ATM in order to get my ID back. Will not be returning again. Did not ever get the opportunity to enjoy the opportunity before having to pay to get my OWN real ID back.

A dive bar next to Burger King...... Do I have to say anything else?

Don't go here. You won't like it. They won't like you. I was lucky this time. They liked me. The regulars are appreciated, weiners are not. Don't be a weiner and you'll be fine.

Greatest dive bar in Boston! The atmosphere is laid back and the patrons are friendly and welcoming. Staff is attentive and friendly as well. The free pool is just an added plus! Love this place!

Went here all 3 nights we were in Boston. Walk in and smell the piss. A true dive bar. Laura was an absolute beauty. Free pool, cheep beer. Benny tried to take my wife home. Otha than that. 11/10

America's #1 dive bar. Free pool tables, cheap (and strong) drinks, great juke box, great bar staff, friendly and funny owner, and the world's most handsome door guy. Everything you could ever want in a small dive.

Ok first off the other reviews are correct if you are not from the area they will check you, if you don't have thick skin do not walk through the door. If you can take a joke and give it back a bit they will leave you be. That being said I spent three nights in Boston and will be coming back to Boston to come to this bar. It is what southie used to be, like stepping back in time the ultimate dive bar. The bartender Danny is good craic friendly (eventually) and cares about his job. I didn't have any problems anywhere cheapest Guinness in Boston I found. Great bar! Thank you to all the guys I met and played darts with! Great craic!

This place holds a special spot in my heart, and I desperately miss it. If you're looking for a bar with a rich history and unforgettable people, Whitey's is it. It's a Southie institution in the truest sense of the word. I don't know your crowd, but I could always count on an adventure. On multiple occasions, bringing non-Southie friends here ended with us LITERALLY riding to the hospital in the back of an ambulance or being escorted elsewhere by the BPD. It was wild, unpredictable, and absolutely fantastic. One night, a guy showed me pictures on his phone of Uday Hussein's palace, taken by his brother who served in the army--he himself would've served too, but he was doing time for a 'misunderstanding.' Another time, while I was in the bathroom, a patron paid me the best compliment ever by telling my wife, "You better bang him tonight, he's a cool guy!" That's the kind of place Whitey's is--it's raw, real, and full of characters Hollywood can't make up. It's literally everything that the best damned neighborhood in America is supposed to be. It's gritty, it's fascinating, and it's straight up legit. Whitey's isn't for the faint of heart, but if you can handle it, it's a place you'll never forget. I miss it because it's authentic, non-bougie Southie--it's not vineyard vines and million-dollar condos, it's unpredictable nights and incredible stories. It's not everyone's ideal bar, but for some of us, it absolutely is. Here's hoping it lives on for a thousand years so that Southie never loses its edge.

Our favorite place when in Boston. Back in town again and can't wait to visit. If you like dive bars, this should be on your list!

The ultimate dive bar. Drink some Ice Pick vodka and cheap beer. The place isn't exactly "pristine" , but you'll have a great time.

Great bar focused on drinks and conversation. Definitely a local joint but we felt welcomed. Prices were reasonable. Service was spot on.

It's a bit raw and probably at the extreme end of diviness. It's intimidating at first glance. Everyone was friendly. Cash-only and cheap. A couple of people walked in asking for Moscow Mules. The bartender told them that this is a stereotypical dive bar. She doesn't do those drinks. A couple of locals were watching football and didn't blink at the exchange. The foam is coming out of tears from the stools. It was a Sunday afternoon but the air was stale. It's a bar from another era, stuck in the South Boston past. Worth experiencing

My favorite bar in Boston. Possibly the best dive bar I've ever been to. The locals greeted us with open arms!

Awesome dive bar with a great cast of characters. The Irish bartender was friendly, funny and just awesome. The patrons were hilarious, raucous and friendly. Not an appropriate place for women or the faint of heart. I had an amazing time!!!!

I don't generally give high reviews for dives , but this one was definitely dirty . One of the men next to me was mumbling nonsense to himself , while the guy next to him was probably homeless . Carved into the bar are people's life stories , or just their shitty day that was taken out on the bar top . Down at the other end I had 2 trashy girls who may or may not have been on meth . The beer was cheap and the service was fine . Not a bad option if you are in south Boston and want to mix with the locals in the area . Not a good option for first dates.

your yelpers are Incorrect whiteys/croke park is open for business so please change the post about it being closed thank you

What can I say. Laurie behind the bar is awesome. It's no frills. Everyone is super friendly. The townies mix with the yuppies. Me and my crew are gay and everyone is welcoming at this very old school southie establishment. And they serve till 2am!

Southern California boy was lookin' for a great dive, struck gold with this place. Laura the bartender did not disappoint. The tipsy locals were quickly put in check, she gave a quick history of the bar, and her service was great. I will be back on my next trip to Southie. Much love!

I watched a grown man fall off his barstool at 4pm on a Monday because he was so drunk. After I helped him up he hit on my girlfriend and burped on us. Loved every minute of it.

Started off by walking by and a little nervous to go inside. Once u side we were greeted by all drunk townies. What a great welcome! The place is very dim and smelly. Great dive bar! Ordered 2 drinks ($9 total). I wouldn't recommend anything buy bottled drinks (sanitary reasons). I enjoyed my time but wouldn't recommend going unless you have a cop friend with you Also, a local was teaching my friend all his karate moves. Very very funny and memorable time.

Southie dive bar. I wonder if this place is named after the famous Boston mobster Whitey Bulger? This is the kind of bar that you see in the Boston-Irish ruffian movies! It's only cash here, but you don't need to bring much- this place is super cheap. Beers for less than a couple of bucks. This place is a bit of a rough bar- it was all guys when I went, a bunch of them looked like mobsters, thugs, or someone who will break your thumbs if you try to raise a fuss here. If you don't like something around here, it seems that you can just scribble it on the walls- graffiti seems to be encouraged, which is an interesting interior design motif. Many of the things written on the wall are a bit risque, so try not to get offended. There's a few pool tables, and a guy who seemed to be hustling everyone for money while running the table and taking advantage of the lean of the table to perform seemingly impossible shots, while raking in the bucks. There's plenty of televisions here to watch the game, and the beer is so cheap, it's hard to pass this place up, if you don't mind going for a bit of a dive.

2 friends and I walked across town to try out this dive and once we show up at 12am, the bartender is standing out front not paying any attention until we go to walk in then she asks for ID so we hand our ID and she then says to another drunk person next to her "What month is it?" Visibly hammered. We got our IDs, turned around, and went somewhere else.

Love. Dawn E was in da house. Look under the shelf.

So I haven't been to this bar in a couple of years but back in Jan 3, 2009 a Yelper named Johnny Z wrote a review about this place and it was SPOT ON... So I decided to repost it! Enjoy below- "I don't want to say this is the worst bar in the world because I've never been to places like Bangladesh, Rwanda, or Haiti. But I can say with 100% certainty that this place is, by far, the worst bar in Boston. I've been to crackhouses where I've felt safer. Also, that had less crack. Seriously, at no point did I feel like I wasn't about to be stabbed by the locals. Remember the scene in Star Wars when Luke Skywalker walks into the bar and the two aliens attack him before Obie Wan Canobie steps in and cuts the guys arm off? Whitey's makes that place look like Cheers. The clientele was a collection of mobsters, wannabe mobsters, transvestites, addicts, punks, criminals, pimps, and fugitives of the law. And the men there were twice as bad. People in the know tell me this place has gone downhill since the original owner - Whitey McGrail died. And he was shot one day while bartending. So, apparently this place has "gotten much worse" since the days when customers would walk in and shoot the bartender. Good times. I could go on, but I think my review might get kind of negative after this point." -Johnny Z, 1-3-2009

Cheap beer, lots of locals, and my favorite bartender in the world. Plus, one of those awesome internet jukeboxes. Seldom do I end the night anywhere else, and half the time I've already started it there. It's an awesome place. Certainly not for the club crowd, but if you ever wanna go, you should come out with us. We only have, like, the best time ever!

Ask for Laura. This is the most legit dive bar in Boston yet oddly enough the bathrooms are clean. Darts. Pool. Jukebox.

If you're looking for signature cocktails decorated with umbrellas and fruit, sleek furnishings and modern décor, you are in the wrong place. Whitey's gets its stars by being a great dive bar! There's writing all over the walls. Everything looks like it needs to be cleaned. People bring in their own food. Everyone seems to know each other. If you're insecure, you might not feel safe there. You can get shitfaced on $30, though. Inexpensive drinks + a heavy-handed bartender = good time! I'm sure my friend and I stuck out like a sore thumb, but we loved it and would go back in a heartbeat.

The only real dive left in Southie (not counting the VFW). Love the vibe here. That's all.

This bar is not really for anyone who looks up yelp reviews of bars. They have free pool and free darts. Whiteys is one of my favorite bars in southie. Probably the worst bar in the world for a first date.

Believe all the ratings - it's super fun and super low ball. But, as a young female, as some of the reviews try to warn, I will fully endorse this place as being everything I expected. My friend and I moved to Southie and wanted to see some real Southie places, not just the new, bougey Southie and read a hilarious review from a guy who stopped here for a bar crawl. Everything is incredibly cheap and it's cash only. I don't know where else you can drink this cheap in Boston. So, I'm not sure why people seem so appalled at how much of a local, dive bar this place is. Probably because they've never been to a dive bar. If you're going to be offended by locals and people who lived here before you, then stay at Lincoln or something. This place is run down, cheap, filled with loud, obnoxious people, and we'll probably end up back there later tonight.

Funny place. Avoid using the bathroom here. Even though the entire place SMELLS like a bathroom, the ACTUAL bathroom is not a place you want to go. Stick ONLY to bottled beers. They don't clean the beer taps so you don't want the drafts, and you don't want a mixed drink since you shouldn't be touching/drinking out of their glasses either.

My girlfriend and I decided to try this place after we had dinner last night, thinking it would be like the Tam (which we both adore). Instead we felt like we'd just walked into the Southie version of DELIVERANCE. The place was packed with sketchy white dudes (my girlfriend was one of only two women there) eying us like we'd just pooped on the floor. We decided to give the place a chance anyway, so I went to the ATM to get cash for drinks. The machine was so obviously rigged with a scanner it was almost laughable. We left and almost immediately found a better neighborhood bar (William's Tavern). In short, do not trust the positive reviews. This place is for drunk Southie townies only.

I'm sure a place like this could care less about Yelp reviews, so this review is for all you Yelpers who may be fooled by the 4.5 star rating they currently have... I was fooled by the stellar Yelp reviews this place had, and it nearly resulted in a fight. Let me make sure you ALL know what you are getting into when you go here.. A bar with about 10 chairs/stools combined, a pool table and a juke box. Plus lots of writing on the wall. No clue about the bathrooms, but I would suggest squatting to the ladies. I love dive bars. I like 4 oz pours and cheap drinks. Whitey's offers both. What I don't like is feeling like an alien when I walk in, and having a drunk older gentleman kiss my hand 15 times and not leave me alone. Just not my definition of a good time.

Badass bar. One of the best in Southie. Expect a dive bar. If you expect anything more go else where. Cause it ain't for you.

Sometimes I like little dive bars because they have character. This place was a dump. Drinks were horrible and to make matters worse you have sloppy drunks that won't leave you alone. That my friends is not character Don't go here.

A true dive bar! There's no signs for this place and everywhere and anything inside feels like it needs a good cleaning. Where's my antibacterial wipe?! I see a lot of 5-star reviews, which I can understand for their amazing price! You really get the value for this place, but would you really come here just for their cheap strong drinks? Yes? No? It really depends on your style. Unfortunately, Whitey's was not for me. The mixed drink is about a pint with 70% alcohol and 30% mix that comes out to about $5-6. The beer is dirt cheap, under $2. There is three bathrooms available here where you'll be lucky if the toilet flushes. There is also two pool tables at Whitey's that's in decent shape for you to entertain yourself. Our solo bartender, Joe, was cool, but a little intimating because he looks like an addict off the street. I'm sorry, but it's true! My friends were even asking if he should really be behind the bar with all the alcohol. See!!! Would I come back? Probably not, unless my cool Bostonians want to meet up at Whitey's once again. I would be too scared to trek there by myself. Yes, it's true. PS. Cash Only

I sauntered up to the bar, snagged myself a PBR, got manhandled and tossed upside by my rowdy group of friends who fit in seamlessly with the locals. I proceeded to drink my brew and through my arm around a handsome, Celtics-shirt-clad man playing pool who welcomed by gesture and invited me to write on the infamous wall. Brightly lit. Pool table. Scribbled on signature wall. Cheap ass beers. I'm in love.

Whitey's was definitely the place to be on Saturday. Being greeted by a dozen regulars at Whitey's after a 2 block 3-legged race was the sweetest thing ever. They were cheering for us telling us how awesome we did for coming in last place! Haha. One regular sitting at the bar was truly deeply excited for us, I just remember her telling us all that matters is we made it and we did great. How friggin cute?!! Is this an over the top dive bar? YUPPPP!!! Did someone say cheap beer? YUPPPP!!!! We're people crawling all over the pool table? YUPPP!!!! Was there baby powder on the shelf that said, "Not For Your Ass?" YUPPPP!!!! Was mingling with the regulars awesome as fCuk?! YUPPPP (Even the scary women in the corner wasn't THAT scary, okay maybe she was) lol. Photos on the wall are awesome. I think we all want to be welcomed where ever we go, and Whitey's regulars definitely welcomed us with opened arms and cheers! And yes its true, this bar does not have a sign out front, ... but once your in you'll know where you are.

Listen, this place isn't for everyone. It's a DIVE bar. But once you been here and know the people it's like home. It's not the place for a date or if you like high class bars. But if your a southie local it may be the place for you

I love Whitey's SFM. Why? Because I showed up wasted at 1pm on a Saturday and no one cared. I also was tied to Krys and everyone cheered for us even though we are the worst 3 legged racers ever, we could have literally crawled there and gotten there faster. I think they may have even believed we won?? There is a bottle of baby powder that says "not for your ass" next to the pool table, but i put it on my ass and no one said anything! Sprawling out on the pool table? No problem. The regulars were amazing, but the older woman who was all bejeweled and bedazzled in a beret and copious makeup wins. I want her to be my best friend. It can be just like Sex in the City and I will be Carrie and she will be Samantha!!! And one of the older men without a full set of teeth at the bar will be Mr Big. And we'll do it on the pool table. Eww what? Anyway I really like it here and will be back.

I'm here a at least twice a week. I play on one the of the league pool teams that meets every Monday. They have free tables that I learned the sport on. I have seriously saved over $5,000 in quarters with the dollars I would have paid for countless games of pool. That right there is the reason why they say this place is so busy on Monday nights. The owner is about as nice as they get and regulates the crowd as to keep out the dozing Southie junkies (only after 8 pm when the he comes in) and trouble makers. Its as divey as you're ever gonna get. The regulars are nice and welcoming. Its the "don't start no stuff, won't be no stuff" kinda crowd. Any single night the place can be bumpin and packed to the gills or so empty you can hear the ceiling fan squeak. Its the only bar on the west side of Southie open past 1am. Thats great and all but it brings a volatile crowd between 1 and 2. Everyone gets last call at whatever $7 a beer spot they just came from and pack into Whitey's where they get four beers and better service for the same amount of money. So the already hammered patrons buy up liquor like its going out of style. Now lets talk money, or lack thereof. Domestic drafts are $2, PBRs $1.50, bottles range from $2.50 to $3.50, liquor double shots are $3 or $4 depending what you drink, Guiness draft is $4, mixed drinks come in pints that are 3/4 full of booze with 1/4 mixer and they're $5. You can literally, with tip, drink for a night under $20. The owner and employees never charge for non-alcoholic fountain beverages. The shirts behind the bar were made because of this site, actually. One group of yelpers came in and spent hours drinking and talking to the owner. They said Yelp had the bar rated #1 night life spot in the entirety of Boston (#2 was symphony hall at the time). Of course no one believed them but sure than poo when I pulled it up on my smart phone, they were right! That has since changed, but the reputation sticks. The bar being a dive you have to anticipate a dive. Surfaces aren't pristine, the floor isn't something you would eat off of and the bathrooms look like the one from Trainspotting (sarcasm). There is a Burger King right next door and you can use their facilities until 10pm, if it really bothers you that much. This place gave me faith in bars. I never knew that all those things in my head from when I was younger about what a bar is supposed to be actually existed in Boston. So come on out and have a drink. Good luck playing pool there. We have some of the best shooters in southie. But if you do want to try your luck just sign your name on the white board near the respective table (there's 2).

I had a great time at this place, but it comes with a bit of a warning. If I, completely on my own, had walked into this place by myself, I probably would have tried to find a subtle way to walk right back out again, because I would have thought I didn't belong. And honestly, I don't. But that doesn't mean anyone in there would have cared. We came here as part of the Red Scare South Boston bar crawl, and I'm so glad we did. Walking into this dark room on a Saturday afternoon, I saw a few gruff locals, one even gruffer (is gruffer a word? It is now) bartender, Apollo 13 on the TV, and graffiti everywhere. Graffiti is just part of the decor. There's a painting here that's essentially the John Wayne equivalent of a Three Wolf Moon shirt, and a witch marionette thing with a broken nose in the window. The bathrooms are broken in a myriad of fascinating and creative ways. If a Hollywood set designer were creating a bar for a late 90's Sean Astin to walk into wearing a cardigan, it would look just like Whitey's, just with a record player so the needle could scratch off the record when he walked in. And much like its Encino Man equivalent, the most frightening patrons of this bar turned out to be the most welcoming. Everyone here was really awesome, and you will likely never get more alcohol per dollar at a bar than you do here. I ordered a rum and coke here, and it cost $6, came in a pint glass with about two ice cubes, and it had so much rum in it, it was yellow. The only problem with this drink is that it was so strong it was hard to drink. I considered getting a second glass just full of coke so I could sort of make two still pretty strong drinks instead of one insanely strong drink, but I thought the locals would look at me funny. Later, one of the bartenders told me he recommends doing exactly that, because their drinks are so strong. So I guess they wouldn't have made fun of me. So if you're in Southie, looking for a VERY local place to get a drink, stop in, say hi to some of the regulars, get yourself a cheap cocktail and a 2nd glass of mixer, play some pool, and just have a good time. Just leave your ascot at home.

This shouldn't be my kind of place, I know, but the 1.75 liter bottle of Grand Marnier on the back bar just warmed my heart. Not much to say except the pours are beyond generous, the pool tables are in remarkably good shape considering their surroundings, and the regulars are generally polite and chatty. Don't be a yuppie prick, tip the bartender well, and you'll have a home for life.

This IS my favorite dive bar. Doesn't get to crowded and is generally chill, plus the owner is cool and keeps control generally. It's hard to find cheaper beer or mixed drinks even in South Boston. The bartenders are generous with the pour so tip well and they will make sure you will want to come back. Free pool is a huge plus and the Jukebox blasting Bananaphone is always good for a laugh. If you can fit in with the old school OFS crowd you'll have a good time here. It's pretty much everything you can expect from a (the) Southie dive bar, so when you walk in know that's just what you're going to get... unless you are looking for "Big Buck Hunter".

Not too many ladies come in here. You will be noticed and hit on. Do not try to pretend to be a lesbian with your best friend to get them to stop. This will just make them want to love on you even more. Lots of creed on the jukebox.. And lots of people will play the creed songs. However, no one gets mad when you put R&B on! Yay! Drinks are super super super cheap. Totally worth it. Also, pool table? Not for me, but worth noting.

Let's talk about Whitey's. It is my favorite bar in town. The drinks are dirt cheap and very strong. The juke is usually pumping out either 1. old school irish tunes 2. "i love this bar" by toby keith, 3. "come on eileen" by dexys midnight runners or 4. "i want to sex you up" by color me badd. Well, usually not #4, that was just the case last night. The Guiness is $3. The mixed drinks are no more than $4 and worth every penny. Just watch the bartenders make your drink. You're basically drinking alcohol with a splash of a mixer. (Gin and tonic, hold the tonic...basically). Now for the bartenders...best in the city. Danny is probably one of my favorite people on earth and greets me with a big hug everytime I come in. Danny's brother Declan works there too. (He even had limes for me last weekend!) Then there's Gerry who I can't really understand because of his Dulin accent but is hilarious nonetheless...and quite the dancer. Warning: Whitey's is a real dive bar (complete with eccentric locals and regulars) but you should give it a shot. Even if you don't like it the first time, you should give it another try. It takes a little time to get used to this place. Also...Whitey's is open to 2am and gets pretty packed around 12:30 when the other southie bars are at last call. But the bartenders will take care of you first because you've been there all night. Oh and the pool is free!

Who gives 5 stars to a dive bar in Southie? This Irish bar is perfect. First off, I landed a parking spot in front and saw many spots in the vicinity. There is no name on the bar but the number is prominent as is the green facade. Inside a cast of characters enhance the experience. Everyone was warm and friendly despite the fact we were newbies. Cheap draught Guinness carefully poured by lovely Gerry. Free pool and bathrooms with toilet paper for the girls (important stuff not always present in a dive). This was a date with an amazing guy and man, I loved it. Ya, I picked it too Memories are made in different ways and for me, this date will be ingrained in my mind for years to come. Fun spot!!

This place is nowhere as sketchy looking as people make it out to be...that or I am just used to sketchy from traveling all over and seeing my fair share of dive-y establishments. The pints of Guinness really are superb though i definitely get the feeling the price you pay (I paid $3 per) depends on who you are/who is serving. PBR pints for $1.50 are really the only way I can justify drinking said beverage. A guy I met from Iceland got beaten at pool super quickly by the locals so I had no inclination to step up to that challenge. Some of the players even had the billards gloves haha. It started filling up quite a bit once it got to be about midnight but before that people were enjoying their early Saturday night somewhere else. All in all a good place to go with some friends if you want to swill some cheap domestic drafts (or a Guinness) with some charming and entertaining regulars.

My first interaction in Whiteys went like this Me: "hey how's it going? I'll have a captain and coke please" Bartender :"what size? " Me (internally) : size? That's a thing?? (to bartender) uh.... Big? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Bartender takes a pint glass, fills it with ice, pours captain almost to the rim, adds about an ounce of coke and hands it to me " six dollars" Me, tears of joy welling up in my eyes: "... I'm home!" The next thing I knew, I was home. Like actually at home.

This is my favorite bar in America. Moving from Ireland to Boston in 2008, Whitey's was one of the first bars I ventured into when I turned 21, and was an instant favorite. The staff and the locals are all wild characters, you'll get hustled in pool and get nice and drunk on super cheap drinks. The Christmas lights in the corner are up all year, and everyone seems to know everyone in there. Danny Kelly, the boss, is an absolute legend and a gent. I was even involved in shooting a short movie there over a weekend in Dec 2009, which, needless to say, was a riot. I recommend this bar to every person I know travelling to Boston, telling them it's my favorite bar in the country, and I've lived in 4 states, and visited 26, so you know I've done some research!

Out of the Southie bars we went to, Whitey's wins on several counts. No1: Rocking Music No 2: A happy welcome upon entering No 3: Busy barman would not let me pay him for my ginger ales. Yes, I tipped. No 4: Cheap drinks for the peeps. Heavy pours, too. Best bar.

How could I give Whitey's anything but a 5 star! So there is a lot of yelp hype behind this spot. I knew I had to venture out and check it out for myself being the type of guy who loves dingy dive bars. Its tough to find being there is no sign but sure enough there it was in all its glory on west broadway. Just the type of place I was hoping for. I walk in, its a slow afternoon. The setting is nice and dim as a proper dive should be. A scene straight out of a Bukowski novel. A few people occupy the bar, there is a drunk old man talking jive. I order up a jack n coke, its just perfect..... all jack. I head over to the jukebox and throw on a bunch of tracks from Exile on Main Street. All is right with the world. So this is like the pinnacle of dives for me. I have to say the locals seem to be very accepting of the new comers and its certainly not the type of place where you would feel unsafe as long as your not a total jackass. That said its a dive and if you cant handle that environment there are hundreds of other overpriced places that can accommodate your needs. Seriously though check out Whitey's. I am glad I did....I will be back.

I'm not sure I can give this place five stars. You sorta hafta save those for really, really great experiences. That said, going to Whitey's--and this is usually later in the night, and after a couple--is awesome. Southie gets such a rep for being parochial and not accepting the locals. I've never felt that way here. People on both sides of the bar are cool people. I always have fun here.

Whitey's...you had me at "that'll be a buck fifty". Great space. Pool tables that they let the lovely ladies of our pub crawl lay across to pose for pictures. Pictures that the bar regulars took with a million of our cameras as the whole crew posed. Definitely place to get your drink on for 6 quarters a glass. Freindly, tolerant and just plain cool.

South Boston dive bar par excellence. Would make a killing if they'd only accept EBT cards! Whitey's at 5pm features the die-hard regulars. The kind without jobs and with a little ailment we in the business call Wernicke's. Look it up. $3 Guinness drafts, which are likely the best in the city simply due to the frequency of tap pours. Rum and cokes are are served in pint glasses, heavily poured with the coke being added as an afterthought, for flavor. Best bet is to hit Burger King next door for the BK Stackers, which are essentially the dollar-a-patty Western Cheeseburger (minus onion rings) before heading over. Nobody minds the food (no kitchen!) and cheap beer complements fast food burgers surprisingly well.
