Riverside taphouse opens at 12p everyday. They're good for specialty drinks but no happy hour. It's like the 1500 block of light street.

Mother's opens at 12 as well. More standard bar options drinkwise, but you should be able to catch a special. More of a bar atmosphere than riverside. It's down by the cross street market.

Right across from it is Magerks. Nothing special about it. Pretty average food and drinks. I believe they also open at 12 though.

Back by Riverside is Rowan Tree, on Charles St. It's strictly a bar, it'll be mostly empty except for the regular alcoholics. It's owned by an old gay couple and is gay friendly/ lightly themed, but not actually a gay bar. The best for a "bar atmosphere" option. Reds' (the main bartender) rum punch is great. If Donna is bartending, don't try to order anything special lol. They have a backroom with a free pool table, which is nice. If you're not looking for food, this would be my suggestion. Even if you do get hungry, you can order food in and eat it there. They open at 1pm during the week.
