Brighton, Massachusetts is a great college city minutes from Boston. The amount of restaurants and bars in Brighton make it a great destination when you are looking for Boston fun, but without having to pay those high Boston prices. Parking is free on the street at night and if you live close it’s about a $10 cab ride, at least from our apartment it is.
The past two Saturdays we’ve found ourselves at The Green Briar located on Washington Street in Brighton. It’s a quaint little Irish pub with good fun and live entertainment on the weekends. I never got the name of the band that played Saturday night, but they were really good. And my friend was pleasantly surprised to find out they served Magner’s Irish Cider.
According to their website http://greenbriarpub.com/greenbriarpub/ there’s traditional Irish Seissun on Mondays, Prime Time Trivia on Tuesdays, and College Quiz night on Wednesdays.
After last call there we all hopped a cab and headed to the Last Drop to finish off our night of drinking then someone mistakenly mentioned IHOP and we all ended up there and ran out of money………………..until next weekend!
