Brass Union Boston
Great bar, great area
My favorite thing about the Brass Union is the neighborhood it’s located in, honestly. Tucked away from the traffic in Somerville’s Union Square, this bar offers a great selection of craft beer and fine whiskey with yummy American-style food.
My real love is Union Square. This neighborhood is a little off the beaten track, primarily because Boston’s famous train system, The T, doesn’t have a stop near here. So, unless you’re going to take a bus or a Lyft, it isn’t so easy to get here. But don’t let that stop you!
Union Square is filled with lively shops and restaurants, has a beautiful tree-lined atmosphere, and is just a fun place to go. Brass Union is a great place to start the night. Take a seat at the well appointed old fashioned style bar and help yourself to one of the beers on their very extensive beer list.
For dinner, the last time I was there I got the veggie burger and it was homemade, no frozen patty. Crumbled as I ate it, which I love. My boyfriend got the fish and chips which they managed to make taste light and fresh, not oily and nasty. I highly recommend getting a drink at the Brass Union if you’re making the trip to Union Square.

Old school adventure
"Hilton's Tent City" is where the Boston outdoorsmen of yore picked up their stuff before Goretex and GPS. I like that they have modern and classic brands.
