Croke Park Whitey's

"No one ever calls it Croke Park. It’s Whitey’s, and no, not that Whitey, either. If you’re envisioning a Southie bar from a movie in which Casey Affleck plays every role, you’re likely envisioning this place. It has the cheapest strongest mixed drinks in the Hub (nay -- the world!?! TIP YOUR BARTENDER!), it has a jukebox just as likely to play the Clancy Brothers' “Patriot Game” as it is to play Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar”, it has free pool you will lose at immediately to the courteous townie hustling in his pool gloves, it has perilous bathrooms abused in ways so incredible as to basically be awesome, it has a g'damn microwave in the corner for people who want to bring their own Pizza Rolls, and it serves booze about an hour and a half after every other bar in Southie, so late nights can feel like Town Hall meetings, except no one is responsible enough to take minutes. So yeah, it’s basically the perfect bar." -Thrillist
