Old Sully's
Neighborhood: Charlestown56 Union St. (the only phone line is a phone booth)
This is "pretty much the Platonic ideal of a dive bar, with old Formica diner style booths, cramped quarters, and decades of detritus on the wall, not to mention guys at the bar who've been there watching it accumulate the entire time," O'Neil says via email. Oh, and Old Sully's has a Hollywood connection: Ben Affleck filmed scenes here inside and out for "The Town."
