BostonNOW Ran my Pub Review

[cemeterygates.livejournal.com]

I've been submitting to the local BostonNOW paper these last few months and they ran my little review of Sligo Pub in this morning's edition. Here's the original submission, before the editors censored my gritty description of the townies:

Get Your Dive On: Sligo Pub

You’ll either love Sligo or you’ll hate it. It’s somewhat creepy that this old-school bar exists in the middle of Davis Square, arguably the most yuppie place on earth, and perhaps that’s why it seems like such a refuge. This is not a hip rockabilly pretending-to-be-a-dive-bar, it’s the real deal. You’ll find a handful of aging townies drinking themselves to death between their insulin shots, and they’ll get the first service from the bartend, but they’ve earned it. If you want to go in solo, frontload the juke with Johnny Cash, and sigh into your three buck beer on a Monday afternoon, I highly recommend Sligo Pub, 237 Elm Street in Davis Square.

I love The Tam. I miss the pennies.
