Boston Drink of your choice Night

[Bobby]

It's about time for a Boston Drink of your choice Night. Thursday, May 24 is looking good. There's alot to celebrate, new births, engagements and the beginning of the spring/summer hiking season.

The date is flexible.If we end up with decent weather, an outdoor location would be great. Inclement weather location at the Beer Works. Any ideas?

 

[sli74]

I know suggestions of places not downtown aren't too popular but I am gonna shoot this idea out there. How about Sunset Grill ??? They have a Commenwealth Ave location, lots of different types of beer and a really yummy Root Beer that MichaelJ, bunchberry and I discovered we loved while skiing at Attitash last year.

That date should work for me. Call me a tentative "in"!

BTW, Seema, Whole Foods sells Maine Root and it's as yummy as ever.

I believe this link has details on the Sunset Grill and it sounds really good: http://www.allstonsfinest.com/allstonsfinest/sunsetgrillandtap/sunsetgrill&tap.swf

This would be very convenient to my work location...seems green line T accessible too.

on vacation that week, but I will try...

I just happen to be returning from my annual SoxFest with my buddy Froggie. This year it's an extended one:
5/17: Tigers
5/18: Braves
5/19: Braves
5/20: Mets/Y*nkees (hey, just because the Sox have a day off, no reason not to root against the Y*nkees!)
5/21: Y*nkees

I'll be ready for a beer on 5/24. Not that I'll need one, but I can probably be coaxed into one or ten. I'll be there.

As always, No Station vicinity is my preference, but we could always do something in Woburn also???

 

[giggy]

likely in

sunset is great, but its a royal pain in the humprump for us commuters. that adds a another 30 min to a 50 min commute (for me) - this all equals less time for drinking - and we can't have that.

If a change of pace is in order - what about back bay -

I know a place called cleary's that is good and a 2 min walk from back bay station.

Redbones

Mmmmm... Redbones.
Just got a craving.

 

[amstony]

I'm up for it....but I'd rather be near North Station so I can stumble back to the Lowell line...........

It's my wedding anniversary, but its #26 and I doubt Chanelgirl will miss me!!!!!

It's my wedding anniversary, but its #26 and I doubt Chanelgirl will miss me!!!!!

Wow, Tony! 26 years? That's huge!! Now I recall why I told you that you're my role model! Bring Channelgirl along and we'll all celebrate together!!

Yeah Tony, bring her along! A true "role model" cetainly would do that. I'll buy her drinks

That being said, I am likely in as well. Like Giggy and Tony, I would prefer a downtown location, for commuter reasons.

Regards,
Marty

I'm working an evening shift on the 24th, but lets have a redbones night before too many months pass. Not the best BBQ in the area, but the best combo for BBQ, Beer and atmosphere.

 

[LarryD]

I hope to be there. Like Marty, Tony and Giggy, would prefer a North Station or downtown location for travel purposes. However I always enjoy good beer and good company so I would be willing to be a little flexible on this, if the consensus is for a different location. If the weather is remotely like it is today, an outdoor venue would be great.

 

[pedxing]

Well then, we definitely need a Redbones night maybe a month or so after this one.

For those who mentioned Sunset Grille, restaurant.com has certificates that amount to 15 dollars off on 35 dollars of food. Maybe not useful for a VFTT outing unless a bunch of people are splitting a tab:

26 years? Bring her along, we can celebrate your anniversary. Mrs. Bobby and I are at 18 years, 4 kids....I need to get out for a night!

AMSTony...wrong kind of bottles for little Katie. Although it may help her sleep throught the night!

How about Sunset Grill ??? They have a Commenwealth Ave location

How about the North Station area for this time? Next time we can head out to Brighton or the Somerville area.

 

[roadtripper]

Another vote for Sunset Grill! Love that place, it's worth the extra effort to get there.

Back Bay also works. A good suggestion already made was Clerys.

Hey, no worries
I never hold my breath for Brighton options but always give it one good try.
I just find downtown never ends up working for me so I keep suggesting the Brighton options cause that is closer to work and home. I will look forward to pictures so take a lot . . .

I'm toying around with a semi-regularly scheduled VFTT Wednesday Evening Regatta on a local river (Concord comes to mind for a start) or lake/pond. If anyone is interested, eMail me. Beer has already indicated his interest.

 

[KayakDan]

Concord River is a good choice,as is the Nashua in Groton/Pepperell.
Mrs KD and I would be up for that.

 

[amstony]

I could be in for that.........I need a rental kayak from a local spot, though, since I don't own one!

Salem, MA, was nice, where Alpinista intro'd me to kayaking last year, or the Charles River, which would be pleasant!

For the adventurous types who can stay overnight , there is also St. Lucia in the Carribean, for those who can travel for a few days-now that was pleasant kayaking!!
