Model Cafe

7 N Beacon St
Allston, MA 02134
Remember when there was a cold war on for who could be the punkiest, the most metal, the hardest hardcore kid around? Well the winners of that cold war have grown up to be sad examples of people who went so far to live up to an imaginary self-image [...]

The Avenue Bar and Grille

1249 Commonwealth Ave
Allston, MA 02134
I love cheap beer. I’d almost say I love it more than the woman who tore my heart out and destroyed my naive, innocence and optimistic world view, the family that disowned me, the college I went to four years that taught me to hate pointless sports affiliations, the God I [...]

they have a photo booth inside and [...]

3 Harvard Ave
Allston, MA 02134

If you think it looks shitty on the outside I promise it looks equally shitty on the inside. The acoustics suck but when you bring in regular boston metal [...]
