The February Tuck Tails is taking a new twist this month and we hope you can join us. We realize it is late notice but would love to see anyone and everyone who can come.
Given that many folks are new to the Boston area, we thought it only appropriate to combine Boston history with a favorite Tuck activity - drinking. It would be great to know how many we'll have at Warren Tavern so indicate in your reply if you'll be joining us later. We'll also email the schedule out to folks once we know who's attending.
4:30 PM - PREGAME - Warren Tavern - BURGERS & BEERS http://www.warrentavern.com/index.htm
2 Pleasant St., Charlestown, MA
T Access: Orange Line - Community College
Historical Note: Warren Tavern is probably the first building erected in Charlestown after the British razed the town during the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. It was founded by Captain Eliphelet Newell in 1780. Newell had been believed to have been a participant at the famous Boston Tea Party and as an ardent patriot and admirer of Dr.(general) Joseph Warren, it is natural that he named his tavern after the fallen hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill.
6:00 PM - 21st Amendment
http://21stboston.com/html/home.html
150 Bowdoin St, Boston
T Access: Red or Green Line to Park St, Blue Line to Gov't Ctr
Historical Note: The site of the 21st Amendment was originally designed in 1899 as Boston's most luxurious hotel complete with electricity, running water, a roof garden and the city's first "passenger lift". Its elegant furnishings and amenities attracted the areas most famous guests and visitors including Louisa May Alcott, Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Lindbergh. In fact, John F.

Walk to remaining Pubs
7:00 PM - The Red Hat Café
9 Bowdoin St, Boston
T Access: Red or Green Line to Park St, Blue Line to Gov't Ctr
Historical note: The Red Hat is located in historic Scollay Square in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. The Red Hat Café is one of only six businesses left from Ole Scollay Square and to this day remains one of the oldest bars in Boston. Painted murals adorn the walls as a reminder of a place most patrons are too young to remember.
8:00 - Sullivan's Tap 168 Canal St, Boston
T access: Orange or Green Line to North Station
Historical Note: It's not a date place. It's not a swinging nightclub. It's a bar. Located near the FleetCenter, Sullivan's Tap has become a legendary place to get your spirits up before a game and then celebrate, or drown your sorrows, afterward. But you won't find the hip party crowd shuffling into this place -- it's blue collar through and through. Pool, Pop-A-Shot and Big Buck Hunter attractions abound.
9:00 PM - Green Dragon Tavern
http://www.somerspubs.com/web/
10 Marshall St., Boston
T access: Orange Line to Haymarket or Blue or Green Line to Gov't Ctr
Historical Note: There is a well known pub in Boston, which goes all the way back to Colonial times. As most colonists did not read, the pub was marked by a copper sculpture of a dragon above the door. It did not take very long for the Boston climate to corrode the dragon a bright shade of green, so quickly that the pub's owners did not waste the effort to keep the dragon sculpture polished. The pub came to be popularly known as the "Green Dragon".
10:00 PM - Union Oyster House - http://www.unionoysterhouse.com/
41 Union St, Boston
T access: Orange Line to Haymarket, Blue or Green Line to Gov't Ctr
Historical Note: The Union Oyster House is the oldest restaurant in Boston and the oldest restaurant in continuous service in the U.S. At the very spot where diners today enjoy their favorite New England specialties, Federal troops received their "war wages" in the official pay-station. During the revolution the Adams, Hancock, and Quincy wives, as well as their neighbors, often sat in their stalls of the Capen House sewing and mending clothes for the colonists. Since 1826, the Union Oyster House has known only three owners.
10:45 PM - Hennessy's - DJ & Dancing
there may be a cover
http://www.somerspubs.com/web/
25 Union St, Boston
T access: Orange Line to Haymarket or Blue Line to Aquarium
Historical Note: If it's one thing Boston is well known for, it's the Irish pubs and Hennessy's lives up to the reputation by giving Faneuil Hall tourists and weekend revelers an authentic taste of the Emerald Isle.
