The B-Line Crawl
Four consecutive B Line stops through the heart of Allston, each with a bar worth ducking into.
Four consecutive B Line stops through Allston and BU, each with a place to raise a glass. Start at Harvard Ave for The Avenue — Allston's classic dive. One stop to Packards Corner for Hopewell Bar & Kitchen. At Babcock Street the crawl goes global: Gopchang Story's rowdy Korean BBQ and soju is right across from the platform (doors at 5pm). Finish at Amory Street with a giant margarita at Sunset Cantina, opposite Agganis Arena. Nobody drives to a bar crawl. The B Line was made for this.
Numbered pins are the roam's stops; gold rings are bonus stops. Check in at each stop in the Shift app to complete the roam.
