"Leave the tourist crowds behind and hop across the Charles River to Charlestown for a more authentic slice of Boston life. The oldest tavern in Massachusetts, Warren Tavern has at different times been a favorite watering hole of George Washignton, Paul Revere, and J.F.K., and today serves as a hangout for the numerous young professionals who call this neighborhood home. Few Boston taverns offer both historic chops and current-day resonance, and Warren Tavern manages to do so. The menu offers a rich selection of beers from Budweiser to local New England microbrews, and the surprisingly good pub food keeps a steady flow of patrons every night of the week. An order of short rib tacos and Thai chicken lettuce wraps, a couple of brews, and you’re all set for an evening of Grade-A Bostonian people watching." - Todd Plummer
