I'm Not in College, But I'm Still Young: Boston's Guide to Bars for the "In-Betweens"

Viox usually has a pretty good mix of people. It’s a little too nice for college students and the just graduated crew, but still in a good location and down to earth enough for the 20-somethings.

I’ve never seen a fight in Vox and you don’t generally see a lot of overly drunk people. There are a few older men who are always on the prowl for girls, but they definitely don’t make up the general population of Vox.

Generally, Dillon’s is a good place for us “in-betweeners”. Sure, the occasional frat boy comes along in his Abercrombie shirt, but most of the bar patrons have been out of college for quite a while and are more mature than Lir, Pour House, or other places in the area. During the summer, Dillon’s patio is a great place to hang out and watch the game on the big-screen.

There’s also a very good looking bartender at Dillon’s, but unfortunately, he’s married and NOT in the “in between” category.

Oh, and if you go during eating-hours, their food is good!

Clink seems to be the overflow bar for all the late 20-somethings who didn’t plan enough in advance to go to Alibi, the downstairs lounge. While Alibi is a better all-around bar, Clink is normally a slightly younger crowd and a good second choice to Alibi.
