Boston's Allston-Brighton neighborhood is the equivalent of Chicago's Lincoln Park - a neighborhood for fresh twenty-somethings with restaurants and bars as delicious and wild as the imagination can conjure up.

Sunset Bar and Grill has the nation's second largest selection of beer in the fine United States of America with 130 taps and brewery specials every month. A full menu is served until late night if you'd like to enjoy your cold drink with a hearty plate of eats.

There is a bit of a waiting period if you decide to go during the weekend that averages 30-45 minutes. If you're like me, you'll pass the waiting time at Sunset's combination pool hall and smaller bar-Big City-which is just next door. The prompt bartenders and the casual crowd will make you second guess returning to Sunset when your Panera-esque buzzer goes off to let you know that they're ready to seat you at your table and right before you remember that there is a free beer card and 20 beer samplers with your name on them on the other end of the buzzer.

The combination of 'Allston's Finest' provides for a night out in a bustling city whenever you need it. Sometimes you need a break from school and your regular hangouts. Head to Boston because the city will re-energize you in a way that only Boston can.
