Say hello to the third location of "Tavern In The Square", brought to you by the same people that gave us such establishments as Joshua Tree and Brighton Beer Garden.

So says the Phantom Gourmet yesterday.

they threw us all in a trench and stuck a monument on top

Oh man I went to this Tavern In The Square place up in Salem last weekend. Ridiculously good beer selection, ridiculous crowd.
andeet - 2/8/10, 9:54 am
the ones in Central and Porter are giant norm holes
Fowler - 2/8/10, 9:55 am
The website for the Porter Tavern in the Square has Just Live Heaven playing in the background. Does this mean we're all gonna die?

T.I.T.S wut up
outrageous - 2/8/10, 9:57 am
their tots are good.
anru - 2/8/10, 9:57 am
total norm holes but the food is pretty good, or should i say the one meali had at the one in central was pretty good. Also now where are the norm meat market zombies going to hump each other?

I went into the salem one, sat down at a table, looked at the menu and jumped out the patio window. $13 dollars for a plain burger and fries.

I like the phrase "norm holes." Damn these places must be profitable. If I was a business owner I would target this demographic.
R.Schwarzkogler - 2/8/10, 10:02 am
this place sucks beyond sucks
ryantheterrible - 2/8/10, 10:03 am
Like it or not, it is a vast improvement over the kells.
R.Schwarzkogler - 2/8/10, 10:03 am
if i were a business owner i would target the demo that thinks they aren't norms but really are like at the independent or something. those people have no problem with a 12 dollar mac and cheese.
RippinestTown - 2/8/10, 10:04 am
did the door at the kells 4 nights a week for 2 years

r.i.p. my irish/american/asian/homosexual friend

COMFORT FOOD
RippinestTown - 2/8/10, 10:07 am
i wonder if therell be dancing/slobbering/humping in the back or if theyll put more tables in the back
dalton - 2/8/10, 10:07 am
I will miss the sign that said “Asian Cuisine” next to the Shamrocks. Although I think that was taken down awhile ago anyway.
andeet - 2/8/10, 10:09 am
those signs they put on top are great : "Food Drink Dancing Nightlife"

nah, honestly it's not. it's just another crappy chain. i'd rather have it be a somewhat independent business full of white hats then some place on its way to being the next TGI Fridays.

also, cue a million people saying that allston sucks anyways. and also a million people asking why people should care.
EveryManACritic - 2/8/10, 10:10 am
It makes me wistful whenever a place I never went is replaced by a place I'll never go.
weth - 2/8/10, 10:10 am
It seems like a great time to quote Vagiant...

Sing whoa, fuck the Kells
Whoa-oo-oh, fuck the Kells
Fuck you, fuck your mom
Fuck your whole entire clientele
Singin, whoa-oo-oh, fuck the Kells
arb - 2/8/10, 10:17 am
they should turn it into a beer pong museum, tavern on the square or whatever sux
R.Schwarzkogler - 2/8/10, 10:19 am
what square is that, btw?
ecannon - 2/8/10, 10:21 am
college kids need somewhere to norm out
EveryManACritic - 2/8/10, 10:21 am
The square at the intersection of Harvard and Brighton is called Harvard Square.

(Overrated)
mattlincoln - 2/8/10, 10:22 am
Tavern on the Square is an inoffensive sports/Irish bar, which, while not lighting the world on fire, is light years better than the actively offensive Kells.
ryantheterrible - 2/8/10, 10:22 am
Union Square?
andeet - 2/8/10, 10:24 am
will there be a dancefloor though? if not, where will be the #1 place in Allston to dance to Ke$ha?
not making judgements- I need to know these things
EveryManACritic - 2/8/10, 10:24 am
I prefer a bar that lights the world on fire.
R.Schwarzkogler - 2/8/10, 10:24 am
union square is near the model, ryan

Is it too soon for a Great White joke?
EveryManACritic - 2/8/10, 10:26 am
Great White was a joke from the beginning.
ryantheterrible - 2/8/10, 10:26 am
Eh, to them it might be close enough.

honestly, what is actively offensive about the kells? i mean, do you go there and get offended? I'd rather have a place like the kells there to keep everyone who wants to go to a place like that in one spot.

Good point. It's better to keep THOSE PEOPLE rounded up in a visible location so that they don't disseminate amongst the general population.
R.Schwarzkogler - 2/8/10, 10:29 am
that was a quick turnaround, i will grant you that
capndannn - 2/8/10, 10:32 am
allston: now with 17% less date rape
R.Schwarzkogler - 2/8/10, 10:34 am
nah, it'll just spread to other places
capndannn - 2/8/10, 10:36 am
they're all gonna go to the bahama beach club
Fowler - 2/8/10, 10:37 am
DUDE DID YOU HEAR THERE ARE 80'S AND 90'S DANCE NIGHTS AROUND THE CORNER LET'S SLAY IT BRAH
weth - 2/8/10, 10:40 am
There's more jocks outside than the motherfuckin' NFL
Say, whoa-oo-oh, fuck the Kells
ryantheterrible - 2/8/10, 10:40 am
I mean, isn't a lot of the Kells clientele dudes from the suburbs coming into party? Are they going to want to do that at a Tavern On The Square or are they just gonna go to some place on route 1 or go downtown? We will see.....
R.Schwarzkogler - 2/8/10, 10:43 am
a lot of people go to the kells from the 'burbs or other parts of the city just because of the fact its in allston and that allston is full of college party types.
camilla - 2/8/10, 10:43 am
i'd rather an independent business went there too but the kells does suck a lot.
oklo - 2/8/10, 10:49 am
I thought this was gonna be about DJ Funk
R.Schwarzkogler - 2/8/10, 10:50 am
TOTS would never have DJ Funk.
Fowler - 2/8/10, 10:52 am
The Kells did give us the short-lived "free alcohol night", which certainly led to a lot of great decisions.
Huts - 2/8/10, 11:59 am
TAVERN FULL OF SQUARES AMIRITE?
craigsilva - 2/8/10, 12:05 pm
