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.

The former drunk tank of the Charles Street jail, Alibi is a dark, sexy lounge at The Liberty Hotel in the Beacon Hill area. The original structure gives the place a mischievously eerie feel & is softened by yellow leather couches & charming staff. Alibi is strictly a bar, but you can order in lite bites from Clink upstairs. Drinks in this cool location come at a price with beers around $6-8, glasses of wine starting at $9 and mixed drinks around $8-10. Alibi offers bottle service as well. Dress code ranges from suits to cocktail dresses to dressy jeans.

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.

Located a hop, skip and a jump from the original Cheers, The Sevens is a place where everybody really knows your name, at least when you wear your old monogrammed high school letter jacket. Cultivating neighborhood pub atmosphere, proprietor John Kiley has crafted a bar where Frasier would feel at home and Niles would nervously wipe his brow. The crowd, mostly Beacon Hill locals loyal to their “town pub”, enjoy good company and chummy conversation (read: if you're looking for that crazy bar scene, head elsewhere). Tasty and inexpensive pub grub, highlighted by knockwurst steamed in beer ($5), French dip sandwiches ($6), and The Kiley (turkey, roast beef, and pastrami dripping with Russian dressing, $6.50), is served until 11pm. Though its name comes from its street address, The Sevens is also well known for its 7 beers on tap (mug $3.25-3.50, pint $4-4.25, pitcher $10-10.50). Entrees $5-6.50. Cash and credit cards now accepted! This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard. Not that there's much competition, but this Beacon Hill institution is considered by most to be the neighborhood's top bar. The Sevens is still there! It's the kind of place you don't forget, because in a "concept" restaurant world where bars tend to feel like airport terminals (all alike, that is), the Sevens has a distinct personality. Tip: Meters along Charles Street are notoriously hard to find. Consider taking the T (Red Line--Charles/MGH).

Harvard Gardens is many things. For one, it is a local Beacon Hill haunt. During the day, a place where nearby MGH folk enjoy lunch. On the weekends, there is a brunch crowd.

However, the real Harvard Gardens is mostly known for it's great bar scene appreciated mostly by Beacon Hillers. Crammed into the long and narrow bar you will find a plethora of preppily clad 20 and 30 somethings looking for fun and someone fun. The bar is crowded, but the drinks are not that expensive. There is something here for everyone, just remember that unless you get there really early thursday - saturday- it is standing room only!
