Need a Boston recommendation

I'm seeking a hotel near a decent bar in Boston. Said decent bar would ideally have finely crafted brews, full-service liquor, a pub fare menu or better, and comfortable atmosphere conducive to conversation.

I suppose I really am looking for the best boston beer bar recommendations, but I need to arrange stumbling/sleeping space more urgently. No rush.

TIA! fr0glet

I would recommend something near Davis Square in Somerville. Maybe find a bed and breakfast. Probably one of the best beer bars is called Redbones and there's a good Irish pub across the street called The Burren. Also near there is Inman square and another great bar called Bukowski's and there's also many other good Irish bars in the area.

There's a lot of great bars downtown boston, but as for beer they can't compare to a Redbones.

What type of beers are you looking for?

No can do. I need a hotel for a number of people to meet, share rooms, and stay up all night talking at. I doubt a B&B would appreciate that kind of behavior.

Stouts, porters, IPAs, barleywines, belgians... I'm happy to drink fine bottled if no local crafts are available on tap. I'm spoiled on PNW beer and imported serious beer.

I posted my query elsewhere and received a suggestion for a pub with $2 PBRs. You'd think I would have learned my lesson and specified my taste in beer in my original post here... :P

I do not live in Boston: in fact I've only been there once. When I was there I visited a pub called The Sunset Grill. Quite a few taps and bottled beers. Good food. It was about 5 blocks from my hotel, a DoubleTree. Each room was a suite. Very nice place to run a small convention or family gathering.

Of course, check the web to make sure both the bar and the hotel are still there.

Don't go to Sunset Grill or Sunset Cantina!! Unless of course you like dirty line slugs in you pint ... awesome selection but the old beer and chipped soapy glasses have turned me off of these places for good.

Anam Cara ... enough said. Cab, T or walk (long freakin walk) ... you'll regret not going.

1648 Beacon St. Brookline, Massachusetts (617) 277-2880

Cheers!!

The Sunset is still there, and so is the hotel.

Stay downtown and drink at Bukowski's.

There are two hotels within 100 yards of the bar. The Sheraton and one cheaper chain hotel. But any hotel in the Back Bay is close, really.
