The BHP is an institution. Named "Boston's best dive bar" several years in a row, this is a must go to hole in the wall. During the day, the bar boasts an eclectic group of city folk that love to drink and hang out in a dark and musty bar. But at night, you will find the BHP crowded with recent college grads to mid-late 20 somethings looking for cheap drinks (they are here to be found) and a good time. Most crowded on the weekends post 10:30, the BHP, although dirty and crowded, gets into you and leave you coming back for more! Beers: $2-4 and mixed drinks $3-$5. CASH ONLY! Yes, they use plastic pints and cups, the floor can be sticky, and the bathrooms are highly questionable (Guys, there isn't a stall so hold your number two if you gotta go) but its one of the best dive bars in Boston and if you're looking for the snobby "Seen and Be Seen" place, the BHP isn't it. Its a true Boston bar with one goal in mind: gettin' drunk and having a story to tell later on.

However, at night Panificio becomes a little more formal with waiters and table service. Basic Italian and American fare served. Wine and beer only.
