A dive in the best sense. Long, crowded , good beer on tap and good music . I used the wheel of indecision to help me pick my second beer . Lends a slight carnival aspect to the night. Recommended!

Stepan Mazurov

Awesome small bar that will probably have a beer that will satisfy your desires. Come prepared to sit at a bar . Has some simple bar food if you feel inclined to snack while you enjoy a local brew .

Katie Pritchard

Only in Boston a few times a year but make a point to go here, it's just that damn good. Awesome beers and delicious food. And hooks for purses at the bar . Do it!

Sarah Yim

All burgers and hot dogs are available veggie style at no extra cost! I got the Bukowski Mad Dog veggie style and it was delicious. Overall a solid bar . Won't find drunken college types here.

Jake Smith

You might feel like a sardine, but this is one of the hidden spots if you are a craft beer fan. Order something off of the list that you wouldn't normally and enjoy the atmosphere.

Sonia Q.

Cheap and cheerful. Great selection of beers , and some of the food is pretty good. A little hipster dive bar , bar location is fun but make sure you bring cash! #CashOnly #Boston

Rue La La

Intimate atmosphere for brews and bites, including $2 burgers before 8PM, Monday-Friday. Can't decide on a beer ? Have the bartender spin the wheel and choose it for you. Take note: it's cash only .

James Allen

Fantastic range of local, regional, national and international craft beers . Comfortable , friendly diveyness. Great tater tots .

thoughtbot

A tiny spot crammed into the side of a parking garage and perched precariously over the Mass Pike, the bar is two-people wide. Music 's usually rocking. Huge craft beer list . Cash-only.

Brew York

Our favorite beer bar when we're in Boston. Pleasantly divey with great bar food and a staff that knows their craft beer better than anyone. Can't decide on a beer ? Spin the wheel!

Jason Coleman

This place is great. Bartender found out we were from out of town and without asking made a whole list of places to try. Awesome. Definitely a must.

Charu Devgun

Great collection of beer . Good food. All in all an amazing dive bar . Ask for their secret menu of a $2 burger and $1 fries . ;)

Men's Health Mag

The White Trash Cheese Dip , named for the trailer-park-raised employee who invented it, is a warm blend of American cheese and chilies. Order one for the table to soak up the beer you'll be downing.

Adam Miller

Cash only , but excellent draft beer selection . Nice cozy atmosphere as well .

Cole Kennedy

The hot dogs are better than dive bar hot dogs have any business being.

Al S

Drink a beer you've never had before--like the house BUK pale ale--while staring out at cars flying by on the Mass Pike, beneath one of the glowing blue-neon Bukowski signs in the window.

Tessa Nichols

Get the MOJO IPA - Delicious. Incredibly beer selection , vegetarian food and always good authentic tunes . They only serve wine and beer . No liquor .

I went to bed and didn't see how every night turns out to be a little bit more like Bukowski and yeah I know he's a pretty good read (but! God who'd want to be such an asshole)?!

Daniel Tewfik

Tucked away and cash only . Spin the wheel if you're hesitating!

Boston.com

Not sure what you want? Spin the beer wheel, cross your fingers, and hope that you land on Port Brewing’s Shark Attack or Ommegang’s Duvel Rustico, rather than Coors Light. You’re stuck with it. Read more

Abi Panicker

Dive or not, it had an atmosphere that most people can appreciate, cash only , atm inside, worth going.

Courtney Costa

Come in for their specials! Great beer selection and their food is awesome! Great service also!

BostonTweet

Every Monday through Friday Bukowski Tavern on Dalton Street flips $1.99 burgers and hot dogs from 11:30am until 8pm. Bukowski also has one of the best craft beer selections in the Back Bay .

CJ Bare

Don't come here looking for cheap beer .... $14 pitchers of PBR . Otherwise a neat establishment, reminds me of something out of Star Wars. Lots of good beer selection !

Kyle Frenette

Cash only . Great beers . Great bartenders . Don’t be an asshole. Leave a tip.

IFC

Good overall dive bar--good food, service, and bartender as well as a wide beer selection . What more could you ask for?

Simon

So many beer choices !! Best beer selection I've ever seen. Beware very pricey and CASH ONLY though!! Great bar food too (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Brendan Sullivan

Vegetarians : I recommend the veggie "meatball sub ": fried balls of eggplant with marinara and cheese .

Untappd

A dive bar with a killer beer selection . Belly up to the bar and spin the wheel of beer if you dare. You drink what beer it lands on. :)

Tim Rothfuss

Cozy place, cash only , good food and beer selection !

Todd White

Cash only ! But great food and huge beer selection that is top of the line .

Jim Rowan

Awesome beer bar and good food. A must stop when in Boston.

Cole Kennedy

I dare you to find a bar with as much character. Quirky and irreverent vibe with a stellar draught beer list and good burgers and hot dogs .

Avin Narasimhan

dive-y and awesome. tons of good beers on tap . surprisingly good food. get the $1 burger + fries .

Eddie W.

The beer , the food, the staff . Everything is good here.

Mark Himmelsbach

Have the burger with bacon and peanut butter on it (I prefer the crunchy kind). Trust me, it's delicious.

Remo Malarik

Great dive bar . And decent prices (for Boston)

Andrew Green

Spin the wheel if your unsure what you want, the largest beer menu in the city .

Around Town Shopper ATLANTA

This is a hidden treasure ! Best beer list I've ever seen. Bartenders know their stuff. Just ask.

Liz Preston

Amazing beer list ! But if you can decide then spin the wheel.

Michael Bruyette

Exactly my type of bar . Great craft beers , solid bar food , no douchiness.

Jeremy Barker

A fine specimen of a dive bar . Pro tip: Beware, you could get the undrinkable $15 pumpkin beer if the spin the Wheel of Beer . Read more

Landon Howell

If the deep fried banana peppers are on the daily specials , get 'em.

Tim Snyder

Try the White Trash Poutine Tots . They are truly as addictive as the menu claims.

Adam Besvinick

Peanut butter burger is strange but best thing on the menu by far. Get crunchy PB!

G Watkins

Pretty good beer selection , but it's definitely a dive bar ... Pretty boring atmosphere IMO.

Gary Morrill

Great little bar , make sure you bring cash!
