Fodor's Expert Review The Sevens Ale House

This classic dive bar has been serving beer and wine (no liquor) since 1933. Today, it's pleasantly untrendy and an easygoing alternative to Beacon Hill's tony stuffiness, with its battered dark wood bar and booths, simple setup, dartboard, perfectly poured pints, and great pub food. On a weekday afternoon, you might see a few regulars fraternizing at the bar and with the slightly salty, well seasoned bartender; evenings and weekends tend to be much busier.
