I'm glad I did things like this when I was younger but also so glad those days are behind me now.

Was thinking the exact same thing. I have a picture of me and a couple friends dressed up outside the harp from 15 years ago and you couldn’t catch me dead there now

No bar is worth waiting in line like that for.

You’re not waiting in line because the bar is awesome, you’re waiting in line because you think you have a shot of going home with bodycon dress Tinkerbell (even though you’re just gonna get sloppy, Uber home, and order late night Chinese food)

Oh so happy I'm in my mid 30s and not doing anything like this anymore

Ticketed events is where it’s at.

meltyourtv t1_iudw017 wrote

Wait til you find out that this is probably the line for a ticketed bar crawl

bbqchickenpizzza t1_iuf626r wrote

Those things are all scams anyways, I've rarely seen a bar actually be hosting the event it's usually just some shady company that barely arranges anything.

Yeah I fell for it once. It’s a big racket for sure

devAcc123 t1_iufdx10 wrote

The St Paddy’s one is actually kinda necessary if you plan on hitting the bars all day. Like all the major 20-30 year old bars require the wristband to get in if I remember correctly

Hear you, but if presented with the chance to be 22 again but you HAVE to do stuff like this, are you taking the offer?

AchillesDev t1_iuersk2 wrote

Hell yeah. When I was 22 and didn't have a kid I also wasn't half asleep by 8:30 pm

I can see buddy the elf in line.

unluckyhippo t1_iubwahh wrote

Don’t wait in line and don’t pay cover (unless live band). Life is too short, there’s a bunch of other bars

Idk, when you are in your early 20s on Halloween, a crowded bar is a lot more fun than an empty one

chonkhonkytonk t1_iuddyma wrote

I dunno man. Maybe I’ve just always been an old lady, but me and most of my friends have never given a shit if a bar is crowded or nah. As long as I’m with my friends I’ll do anything. I’ll stand in a dumbass line for an hour and make it fun, but I’d rather actually be chilling inside where it’s warm and I have a drink in my hand

There is no restaurant in the world worth waiting in that line for.

trc_IO t1_iub4i19 wrote

It turns into a club with events, like the Halloween one tonight.

gacdeuce t1_iubpm61 wrote

Still not even close to worth that line.

They have crab rangoons that are good. I know weird seeing it at a bar lol

Dangerous-Hedgehog12 t1_iubjaue wrote

They take frozen ones and fry them just like everyone else

Slibbyibbydingdong t1_iucfyvy wrote

Yeah but have you ever tried to fry something after drinking heavily? That’s how fire starts. Drunk cooking should best be left to the professionals.

bbqchickenpizzza t1_iuf6bjh wrote

TITS in Allston every Thursday night I come home and drive by the line around the fucking block for that goddamn cesspool.

bm96 OP t1_iuaguos wrote

So I was just going to the dispensary lol. had to go to the bank first and cut the line. at first I thought the line was for the bank I was like god please no...

Line for a bank? Smoke after the ATM bro!!!!

Is there a Bills game tonight?

orm518 t1_iuc7m06 wrote

Only good reason to go to the Harp (or pre Beanpot).

real_no_tomatoes t1_iuappqc wrote

What's so great about The Harp? Why not go to some other bar?

I live right near there, and there are bars down the street that don't have any line at all.

It’s big for just turned 21 crowd coming into the city from the burbs for their big night out

Edit: I.e., nothing is great about it

>crowd coming into the city from the burbs

I wish we had a shorthand term for this like NYC's "B&T crowd" (bridge & tunnel).

TedToaster22 t1_iudeebd wrote

Commuter Rail crews?

SkiingAway t1_iuehb22 wrote

Eh, unlike NYC, the commuter rail doesn't run late enough to use for a night out.

At least for the major lines, LIRR's basically 24/7, and NJT/Metro North have the last train of the night after 1AM and resume by around 5AM.

3

devAcc123 t1_iufeim6 wrote

The LIRR is so funny. Last train is usually like 240 or the next one is like 425 right after the bars close. Was always a tough decision, the 430 one is never the correct move lol

bm96 OP t1_iuar2xm wrote

The bar on Friend street where Ascend is had a line down the street too

I have never gone to a ticketed bar event that was worth the money.

taguscove t1_iudm3nn wrote

A whole comment thread of negativity because its not their cup of tea. It makes me smile that people are out and having fun again. 3 years of isolation makes me appreciate these human moments more

12

bm96 OP t1_iudnz98 wrote

Yea I agree most everyone there was laughing and having fun. I posted a comment about seeing a lot of "cuties" and it got literally 8 downvotes. sad world we live in today I guess

startmyheart t1_iue9ofy wrote

Right? Like what's wrong with saying "not my scene, but hope those folks have fun"? Which was my first thought... because I'm an old lady at heart 😅

bm96 OP t1_iueagrp wrote

Here they are again with the downvotes LOL. a bunch of softies that never called someone cute before? what

TheRedGiant77 t1_iud4bgk wrote

Think that’s crazy? Go check it out during a Bills game. That’s where all the Bills fans gather to watch games. It’s total mayhem.

berriesnbball_17 t1_iudfdvs wrote

The Harp is a bills bar? I’ve only ever been there to drink before Celtics games but this is funny news to me

7

TheRedGiant77 t1_iudg06r wrote

It sure is. There’s actually 2 Bills bars, the other is the Bleacher Bar at Fenway. They’ll truck in kegs of Labatt Blue and have Buffalo food events at these games and they’re always packed.

8

berriesnbball_17 t1_iudg76r wrote

Even when the Bills are playing the Pats it’s more Bills fans ? That’s pretty cool maybe I’ll have to check it out when they play each other this year

3

TheRedGiant77 t1_iudgm3k wrote

There will absolutely be more Bills fans there. I think they open about 2 hours before kickoff for a 1pm game and depending on the game there will be lines of people waiting to get in.

devAcc123 t1_iufer2b wrote

Causeway next to it is a ravens bar I believe if that is relevant to you

Dangerous-Hedgehog12 t1_iudt1h3 wrote

I was just home upstate and went to a Halloween party and indeed, the labbatt was lousy on the ground. I forgot it even existed.

Oh yeah, they pack it out….and they’ve been doing so even before they were good

I raged there back in the 90's Glad to see it still popping

thoughtfillednorth t1_iucsayt wrote

Why are so many in line at this spot? Is there a free drink special? What makes this bar something more special than the other billion Boston bars?

How's the food here?

Looks like some lines I've waited in for St Patrick's Day,

CosmoKing2 t1_iuc1hgk wrote

Yikes. This whole club mentality is so strange. Waaay back when...I did it for a very short time (under age) and just quickly realized that it was just a ploy to separate me from my money with a cover charge (for no reason) and expensive drinks.

The fact that there are older (30+) people in line, just makes me think this is just a tourist trap.

There are so many great cheap places to have fun and create good times, there is never a reason to pay cover....unless there is a known band playing a secret show. Otherwise - take a pass. it is never worth it.
