Ups N Downs

If you find this bar scary go to the mall and rediscover the joys of chillis. It's a legitimate dive bar in Dorchester for christ's sake. What it isn't is a bar masquerading as a dive catering to skinny jean wearing hipsters. Granted, bad stuff happens there and Friday and Saturday can get rough but say it with me; dive bar in Dorchester. I lived a half mile from this place and worked 100 yards away for years. Chris the bartender is the man and it was my regular watering hole. Never had a problem. If this place makes you uncomfortable stay away from the real boston and take a cab to Quincy market, you'll fit in nicely at trinity.

Ups n' Rapes

So yeah, everyone knows the reputation of this place and against my better judgement I decied to check it out with some friends since all the bars in Quincy were closing and they got the Boston liquor license. Needless to say it lived up to its reputation.
I love a great dive bar but this place is just plain sketchy. Pure bad vibes as soon as we all got hustled for a cover and walked in the front door. On the plus side I guess we were all lucky that none of us got stabed (which I read in the paper a few months after we had gone). Ehhh so yeah just avoid this place. Its amazing they are still open for business considering all the shit that goes down here on a regular basis.
