Bukowski Tavern

Bukowski Tavern is a beer bar on Dalton Street with pub food and a selection drawn from local, regional, and international breweries. It has been serving Boston since 1998, and beer remains a reason to visit: the website keeps separate draft and bottle lists for planning what to try. The food menu gives you a way to make an evening of it rather than stopping at one drink.

Weekend service begins at lunch, while weekdays start in the afternoon. The kitchen closes before the bar, so keep that distinction in mind if you’re coming late and hungry. Cash, Mastercard, and Visa are accepted. You’ll find the tavern at 50 Dalton Street, a short walk from the Prudential Center end of Back Bay.
