Somerville, City of The Squares. If 2 streets intersect in Somerville, they call it a square, or "squaya" in the local dialect. Some squares are better than others. There's Porter Square, Davis Square, Inman Square, Teele Square, Union Square, Powderhouse Square and Ball Square to name but a few. The more restaurants, bars & public transit around the square, the better it is - and the higher the rent.
Currently, Porter Square's star seems to be falling, while Davis Square's is rising. In Davis, you can start off with a couple of pints at a pub, head to your choice of restaurants serving just about anything imaginable, top off dinner with cappucinos, see a movie or polish off a few strings of bowling and then go see some great live music - all within the same 2 or 3 block radius.
But don't just take my word for it. Here are some links to Somerville cultcha:

Somerville is just a hop on the Red Line from Boston. Porter and Davis are blessed with subway service. The rest of town has to make-do with buses.

Redbones always has great beer on tap and also makes a mean margarita. There is always a wait for a table, but the bar... more travel advice

The Burren is a very good Irish Pub / Restaurant. I can't speak for the food - never ate here, but the beer list is... more travel advice

I spent a night in Somerville a few weeks ago. It was an experience I will not forget any time soon. I stayed with a clown friend in an old warehouse...LOL
Definitely try Tu Y Yo...you won't regret it! Thanks for visiting our Somerville page.
Now I can say I've been to the Burren in County Clare Ireland and the Burren in Somerville all within a week. I miss Redbones too. I miss Boston !!! Waaaaa
Redbones has a very good rep with one of the guys who works for me!
Somerville has changed tremendously since I last saw the motherland in '95.
I am jonesing for some Redbones...
I don't care what the car talk guys say Somerville is the Florence of the north
