The Hill Tavern is Beacon Hill's neighborhood bar. Standing proud on bustling Cambridge Street, the Hill Tavern is the perfect spot for a great burger, big brunch, or tasty beer. The house burger contains seven ounces of top-flight ground sirloin, which arrives courtesy of Savenor's (Beacon Hill's top butcher), wood-grilled to juicy perfection and served with hand-cut fries.The clientele is mainly local 20's and 30 somethings that either enjoy the new seated patio, or stand in the crowded bar on a weekend night. Either it be a low key dinner with friends or a place to watch the Red Sox game, the Hill Tavern is the place to be. This is the best bar around!
Tip: Stop by weekdays, 4pm-6pm, and enjoy half-priced appetizers (chips and salsa, wings, chicken tenders). Also, if you're on a date, ask to be seated in the quiet, secluded side dining room which is partially obscured from the bar.
In the midst of Newbury Street's pretension lies a gem of a bar, home to cheap beer ($3-5), shots ($6-7), and cocktails ($6.50), as well as a rowdy, notably un-Newbury St. crowd. Named after the golden girl of The Great Gatsby, Daisy's has managed not only to stand the test of time but also to stay on top. Also known as the Dirty Flower, this cozy, wood-paneled space gets packed almost every night of the week with a mixed college and twenty-something crowd, all on the prowl. Sa nights are jammed, so come on time; expect lines on weekends in the summer and fall. Even Boston's pro athletes stop by from time to time. There's also a kitchen (sandwiches $6-9) with some well priced specials ($5). No cover.
