Where the bears are! The Alley is where burly and beefy gents congregate. Best nights to go are after work on Fridays, Bear Nights on Saturday, and Beareoke (karaoke) Sunday nights.

When they say it's a bear bar, they really mean it's a bear bar. Was a little out of place for me.

Friendly (least attitude in Boston) bar welcoming all, but especially big/burly/bearish and buddies.

Saturday nights, lack of feminine twinks, bears, real men, friendly bartenders.

Strong drinks, but a noticeable lack of bears on bear night. Lots of straight couples and ladies hanging out. Was hoping for more of a bear bar :/

Great gay hang-out/cruise bar between Downtown Cross & Gov't Center. Home bar to the Bears. Regularly hosts special events, team nights, etc. Karaoke on Sunday night is a surreal hoot. Read more

This place was a huge bummer. Bartenders were rude two nights in a row. Well not rude, just ignored us. Not our cup of "tea!"

Not impressed. Patrons were unfriendly and unwelcoming. Cash only is a joke. What is this, 1972?

Late night booze.

Ambiente muy relajado. Mucho oso y cazadores guapos. Debe ser el lugar mas "liberal" de Boston.
