As the title says, I’m looking for a fun place for a birthday dinner in allston. It’ll be on a Saturday and will be a group of about 10. Preferably somewhere good for a younger group and a fun atmosphere and good drinks. I’ve been to lulus but since the patio isn’t open in the winter I’m looking for somewhere else! Please and thank you!

Honestly, your number one priority for a party that large in Allston on a Saturday evening should be a place that takes reservations, ESPECIALLY if there are shows that night. If there’s a Roadrunner event, good luck trying to waltz in anywhere in that neighborhood with 10 people.

Yeah I understand. That’s why I’m asking in advance so we can plan and reserve!

I'd start with places that have reservations available for 10 on a Saturday

No problem, I did the best with what I had to work with

Bro. Restaurant with good food and drinks, and an entertaining atmosphere for 20 something year olds, that could also accommodate larger groups.

Bro. No budget, no food preferences, no idea what your idea of "entertaining" is. McDonald's has room for 10 and the one in Allston attracts plenty of entertaining characters as the night goes on. Bring some nips and you got yourself a party

My fault for understanding it’ll be difficult to fit a group that large on a Saturday night and not being picky/being willing to go to any place with decent food and drinks

Article 24! I think technically is Brighton but very close and good

Came here to recommend this, they have a basement you can rent out (I think) with a full bar, but may be too big for a group of 10.

Lone Star Taco Bar followed by the Model.

They don’t take reservations and they said it’s gonna be hard to get us in most likely. Place looks great tho! Thanks

Gots to use less subjective adjectives than "good", "younger", and "fun".

Hey, he came here for recommendations not for pointers on how to write a highly detailed essay about what he’s looking for. He gave you enough detail for you to give recommendations. If you want more detail, then simply ask.

Mid 20s, and maybe plays music. I’m not too picky I just want a place with good food and drinks and where people will enjoy themselves! I like the atmosphere of lulus a lot but I know the patio is closed and the inside isn’t too big. Plus I’d like somewhere new preferably!

Yeah my point is that the more vague your descriptions are of what you're looking for, the worse suggestions you'll get.

Rather than "I want a place with good food", say something like "I enjoy tapas, Indian, and dim sum".

Rather than "I'd like somewhere new", say "I've been to restaurants A, B, and C, are there any others you'd suggest?"

Garbage in garbage out, get it?

justinator5 OP t1_j9dqqae wrote

I’m very open to any suggestions. I enjoy all cuisines and I believe I’ve only been to lulus and some Asian spot in allston, so I did list the only place I’ve been! I understand what you’re saying but I also understand I’m not in a position to be super picky

justin. your question stinks. but hopewell takes res and is good for what you want (based on your snarky comments.) Come on Justin....

justinator5 OP t1_j9dr20x wrote

I’ve been made aware b__Malz, if that’s even your real name 🤨 It’s also clear that finding a place to accommodate will be hard so my vagueness represents my openness to suggestions. Hopewell does look great. It’ll be my first time if I can get in

I have no idea why this person is being a douche about this or why your question is supposed to suck. It’s a good question IMO as a very longtime Allston resident. You might try Rail Stop. It’s spacious and nice, with good food and drinks. Do you need a place with a patio, though?

Actually: your comment stinks, and there’s no where in this post where he’s being snarky.

The only place i can think of that could accommodate that large of a party in Allston would be Tavern in the Square

Hopewell, they have a big table in the back that seats 10. Plus pool, shuffleboard, and a pinball/video game room

Personally I always enjoyed Sunset Cantina. Love their margaritas and tacos.

The Stockyard can handle the size of your party. Very decent steakhouse. Not particularly geared to a younger crowd. You'll find people of all ages there, including families. Not sure if you're looking for a certain vibe.

Bisuteki on Mem Drive just over the river. free birthday meal with ID, you can probably seat 10 at a single grill top.

tavern in the square is really fun for younger people on weekends!! they turn it into a club with a dj and a dance floor after dinner on saturdays. lots of students in allston so it tends to be a younger crowd
