"The Burren in Somerville. It's got consistently great live music, a fun and colorful open mic on Tuesdays, and a welcoming atmosphere, whether you are there to listen or play. I've met some of my best musician friends there, as well as many other fascinating and talented local artists. Since I had my son in 2006, I have not been there as frequently, but, based on a recent visit, it seems that (fortunately), nothing about that billing needs to be changed!"

"Bukowoski's – cheap burgers and an unbelievable beer list.  Even a lawyer can't argue with that."

Maura Healey – Civil Rights Division, Attorney General's Office
"My favorite watering hole is Die Weisse biergarten located on Rupertgasse across from the monastery in downtown Salzburg. For three years after college, I was playing professional basketball for a team based in Austria. Win or lose, my teammates and I would go there after every practice and home game for the best bratwurst and dumplings around. I don't know that it helped us win more games, but the weissbier hands down beat a Gatorade any day."

Melissa M. D'Alelio – Robinson & Cole
"The Boston Sail Loft! On the ocean, fried seafood, tacky decor and – yes – oreos at the bar. Best place to be after a long day!"
