Massachusetts

Pick a city to see bars, breweries, and nightlife nearby.

Massachusetts has one of the more pub-heavy bar scenes in the country, and BarFinder lists over 3,600 venues statewide, led by classic bars and sports bars with an unusually large pub and gastropub presence behind them. Boston's Irish pub tradition goes back to 19th-century immigration waves, and J.J. Foley's Cafe, continuously open since 1909, is still considered the city's oldest Irish pub. Boston is also home to the real bar that inspired Cheers - the Bull & Finch Pub, open since 1969, had its exterior used for the show starting in 1982 and remains a Beacon Hill landmark. From a century-old Irish pub to the real-life Cheers, Massachusetts's listings capture a drinking culture shaped as much by community as by history.
