Blue Ruin:
Owners Kal Narvilas and Michelle Gascoine have mastered the grunge bar formula, with a long track-record of partying and popping Coronas at Hogs & Heifers. Put simply: this place is full of girls, grit, and cheap happy hour prices. Expect bras to be flung across the room while the jukebox cranks out tunes to drive customers wild. Shoot some pool while you wait for the action to start. A few other things to look forward to when you hit the bar is a stuffed lion’s head and a secret door that opens to a porn shop. If watery $2 Pabst Blue Ribbon beers are your thing, this is your new hangout.
I really like the look of this bar. It has exposed brick and old wood, a tin ceiling, and decor that makes me think of old mobster movies. The jukebox has classics by the Stones and new stuff too. It really seems like comfortable place in the shadow of Port Authority. I have been several times with friends and we all agree that it seems to be a combination of the cool bartenders and cheap beers that keep us coming back. I also think the regulars were pretty friendly, from the Union guys (and a couple of female construction workers, who were hot!) to the neighborhood types. A good place to check out.

The place is great! Happy hour is awesome (2 for 1). The bartenders are all fantastic and gorgeous. If they didn't close, I'd never leave!

I went here for happy hour last week, and was totally disappointed. Ridiculous prices for something which you can tell has artificially been created to resemble a dive bar with the most limited selection I have seen. And the bartender was a total eye sore. Don't go.
