Drink Your Dinner: Get Drunk Cheap at The Pub

It's not easy to drink for cheap in Boston.  Even the "dive bars" in the area will gouge you for $5 pints of Coors Light and make you leave feeling like you've been robbed.  This is not the case at The Pub.When most people just out of college think Somerville, they immediately think of Davis Square.  But the real hidden gems of Somerville are a few miles from Davis in Winter Hill and Ball Square.  Here, in the promised land of cheap beer, you can escape the douchebaggery that encapsulates the Tufts region to a mecca of dive bars.Close your eyes and imagine a land where the foosball table is the center of attention.  Where sweatpants are not only accepted, they're expected.  Where sports are always on, there's room to breathe, and people are just there to enjoy a beer and relax.  A place where you'll get laughed out of the bar for ordering some fancy pants martini.  And most importantly, imagine a land where pitchers of beer go for just six bucks.  Now open your eyes.  You're not dreaming; you're at The Pub.The Pub is a dive bar to rule all other dive bars.  It's the perfect place to go with a group of friends, sit around for a few hours and watch a game, and not feel like your wallet was abused when you leave.  The foosball's free, and you will be challenged to a match by one or more of the regulars.As with any dive bar, a certain mindset is required.  Don't go in expecting an episode of Sex and the City to spontaneously break out, because it most certainly will not.  Don't go in expecting to not socialize with locals, because you will.  Don't go in expecting a gourmet meal, but do indulge in some (also cheap) pub food.You can get a pint for two bucks, a pitcher for six, a pile of chicken fingers for seven, and you can be as loud as you want.  If you want a dive bar, you need The Pub*.*Editor's Note: I'd link to their website, but in typical dive bar fashion, they don't have one.  Well played, Pub.  Also, find Team Phait at trivia at The Pub every Wednesday.  Just look for the team with the most offensive name on the list.  That's us.
