Guidebook for Boston
Restaurants and Cafes
In South Boston
When guests arrive from a long day of travel, they're typically ready for a good beer or cocktail and something to eat. I always recommend Local 149 which is conveniently located right around the corner from my house. It has a friendly and urban atmosphere while being nestled into a residential neighborhood. It's a great intro to Southie and start to your getaway.
