Sligo Pub

Davis Square condos may now go for a million bucks a pop, but at least we still have the Sligo. One of the last bastions of the square’s blue-collar traditions, the bar is small, dimly-lit, plays classic rock on the jukebox, and slings PBRs for a few bucks. Although it’s been infiltrated by Tufts students, the bar still serves generous shots of the hard stuff to guys who look like they’ve been regulars since Eisenhower was president. Take some time to read the messages carved into every inch of the wooden bar top.
