Named after America’s literary “laureate of the lowlife,” Bukowski Tavern is a traditional tavern and beer aficionado’s paradise with two locations in Boston and Cambridge that has been serving local and international beers and Americana-style cuisine for nearly 20 years.

The sloshy dive bar attracts students, hipsters, and blue-collar types alike and boasts dimly lit interiors, blaring rock music, and walls lined with beer bottles. The impressive beer menu, which features everything from ales and lambics to bacon-flavored German rauchbier and exotic Japanese sake/ale hybrids, is accompanied by a pub-style menu of American fare, including chicken wings, steaks, burgers, and three-bean chili.
