An after-work crowd de-stresses over beers and quesadillas in this financial district hangout. Come weekend nights, however, Boston's only Irish-Mexican cantina morphs into a crowded but unpretentious spot for college students and professionals alike to dance and drink to their hearts' content. Even the bathroom sign, “Women/Damas/Lassies” adds a trilingual touch. With 2 floors, 3 bars, a pool table, and a DJ F-Sa churning out Top 40 tunes, what more could you ask for? Traditional bar food with a Mexican twist ($5-9) served 11am-9pm. Cover Th-Sa $5 after 9pm. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.

Originally on Province Street in Downtown Crossing with origins dating back to the 1940s, The Littlest Bar has reopened in a new--and slightly larger--location on Broad Street in the Financial District. Proprietor Paddy Grace closed the infamous original locale two years ago after issues with a high-rise condo development in Downtown Crossing. The new spot, covered with old-school memorabilia including photos and a letter from former Boston mayor Ray Flynn, also shares a kitchen with The Times Irish Pub & Restaurant. Small-size order of fish and chips, anyone?

Trivia night at Dockside occurs on Wednesdays and offers trivia to the 21 and over crowd. Guaranteed the trickiest trivia night in the city!

J.A. Stat's has one aim, and that is to bring an upscale restaurant and bar to the Financial District not only for the thousands of after work suits roaming the streets in search of a cocktail, but for the new denizens of downtown that are cropping up as quickly as their luxury condo buildings. The food is basic and upscale comfort. The cocktails are a'plenty.

This Faneuil Hall haunt is a dive, but that’s OK if you’re looking for a no-frills alternative to the swanky eateries and nightspots littering this tourist friendly area. With a good selection of brews and a decent offering of pub grub, the Ames Plow Tavern is a throwback to the old-time bars of Boston’s past.

Sissy K's is one of the few places in Boston where you will find a $1 Bud draft all day, 2 floors with live music and DJ, and never a cover. Listen to the warbling local singers on stage during weeknight karaoke, however, and you'll realize why. Still, for rock-bottom prices and an always entertaining cross-section of college Greek life, Sissy K's is the place to be. 2-for-1 apps after 10pm. Next door to the classier, but pricier, Black Rose. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard. Expect Sissy's to be crowded enough to give you a good chance of making conversation with a stranger. Cheap drinks make this a favorite of large groups and bachelorette parties. Tip: They have $1 beers during happy hour! However ~ Drafts of Bud cost $1, all day and every day.

“Everybody knows your name,” but nobody knows how to tell the tourists that this overpriced restaurant-cum-souvenir-shop is a waste of their time and money. Savor the cheesy atmosphere, because the food leaves a bit to be desired—unless you're searching for your average, greasy bar food at slightly inflated prices (burgers and sandwiches $9-13; Giant Norm Burger $15). Extensive beer (12 drafts, pints $5) and mixed drink selection. Entrees $7-18. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.
