The Tam

One of Boston's greatest dive bars . A real classic that remains unchanged over time. $3 tall boys, arcade games and questionable bathrooms .

This bar is a great place to watch a game and chill out ! cash no cards! owners are lovely people and make you feel like a local after couple of minutes! barman Ryan is v sweet!

CASH ONLY dive bar . No food served(there’s a vending machine). Laid back , relaxed & a great place to watch Sports w/out it being a “scene”. They have Trivia Night on Tuesdays.

Dive definition. Quite small and a little too neon-bright at all times, but it's still a top pick for cheap beers near the Common. Come here after a show, and bring cash.

I love the fact that on a hot, sunny day you can pop in there, wet your whistle & cool off. They blast the A/C in there! Two thumbs up!!

I love this bar . Bartenders are awesome, cheap drinks . No food sold there but you can bring in food from anywhere.

This is the perfect little dive bar tucked away in a convenient location with great cheap beer

Cash only here ...... Great little dive bar - love Pat the bartender - over the top liquor pours if you like mixed drinks

Great place! The drinks are cheap and the bartender gives great suggestions for mixed drinks :)

Cheap , strong drinks . Great spot for killing time before seeing a movie or show.

Ok, so apparently the Tam is a fringe society knitting bar , so if you're not sure how to tie off a loop stitch with a 12mm needle, be prepared for confrontation.

Awesome place for a chill night and people watching . Oh and great bartenders !

Excellent establishment and owner. A must stop and visit whenever in Boston.

A Boston institution, The Tam continues to draw in both locals and tourists with their $3 tallboys and cheap arcade games . Read more

Trivia on Tuesdays. If you like cheap drinks you've come to the right place.

Best mixed drinks in boston

Your standard dive bar near the Theater District/Chinatown. The male/female ratio was about 5:1.

Probably the cheapest place around, generous drinks for cash.
