Scene:A trio of male sophomores garbed in baggy khaki shorts, baseball caps, and polo shirts huddle around a golf arcade machine in a bustling bar with loud music.
The song Sunglasses at Night by Corey Hart comes on and they chuckle maniacally. The words "dude" and "pissah" are exchanged frequently and homophobic insults seem to arise from nowhere.
Lacking female companionship and retreating to their cavernous dorms for slumber. Each bro reclines in their respective beds and sheds a single desolate tear in mourning of their arrogant facade . . .
End scene.
That said, the Pour House is a great bar. I enjoy it thoroughly: cheap food and drinks in large portions--all is well. Venture to it on a weeknight and find that cheap food is even cheaper with Mexican night accordingly offering half off all burrito, tacos, and tortilla blanketed meat items of all sorts. I bet you can't guess what Chicken Sandwich Night entails. The beer mugs are very tall and frosted so you get your money's worth and then some. Service is quite fast and the constant blaring of 80s and 90s hits guarantee that you or one of your comrades will be acknowledging the music selection at some point.
This place continually surprises me. I got a hot dog meal that consists of two hot dogs, baked beans, and potato salad. I expected mediocre fare since the meal was only around $7. Yet the dogs were quite good with toasted buns and a slight buttery taste. The potato salad was impressive with a proportionate amount of mayonnaise--amazing considering most restaurants take this as an opportunity to skimp. Last of all, the baked beans were great. I am a baked bean connoisseur of sorts and I do declare that the amount of bacon and caramelized onions in the baked beans completed the meal dutifully.
I strongly suggest all to take part in the Pour House's delights. A night of good drinking is to be had here with cheap h'ourderves--$8 for 26 hot wings, or a mountain of nachos for a similar price. Drink merrily with friends and munch on these treats! I command it. Do beware of cold weather though--the constant opening and closing of the door on Boylston makes for a draft that some may not deem bearable. The music downstairs is really loud too. So if you have delicate sensibilities you may have to confront some peeves.
