Moogy's Boston

Beer, board games & breakfast

Kristian from Boston

About me Originally from Florida, I’ve been happily exploring Boston since 2011. I love writing, sad music, happy animals, and marine life. Currently saving up to explore the world with my two cats (Sasha and The Cat). Why Boston So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with hitting the back streets?

""Moogy's" in Boston offers beer, board games and breakfast at a comfort level that's right up there with your own living room! Try the veggie hoagie..."

Heaven is a pleasantly buzzed evening accompanied by pancakes and an intense game of Scrabble. You can have nights like this in the privacy of your own home, of course -- it’s hard to come by a place you can do all this publicly without judgement and on the cheap. That’s where Moogy’s comes in. Looking at their tiny storefront, you wouldn’t expect much; just another neighborhood bar. However, the reality is that Moogy’s is one of Brighton’s hidden gems, known among locals as a cozy place to grab a few drinks, some warm food, and gab with friends.

Once you enter, customers will be quickly and pleasantly confronted with a shelf packed full of board games, a fish tank, and the opportunity to order $1 PBR drafts. Once you pick your seats, you’ll go up and order at a walk-up window. You can go for their extensive, all-day breakfast menu or their regular menu; both are hits in my book. While their vegetarian options are limited, you can’t go wrong with their veggie hoagie - fresh, delicious, huge, and the perfect thing to munch on while kicking butt in Candyland.

Veggie Crust

A slice of nice

"Veggie Crust" in Boston is definitely not just another pizza joint; first off it's 100% vegetarian. They even have falafel pizza, and it's actually good!

Hilton's Tent City

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.

Taza Chocolate

Chocolate and nothing but

"Taza Chocolate" Boston - a chocolate factory, but I'll resist the urge to make a Willy Wonka reference. In this shop they make it in the Mexican tradition
