Edison's Pub

The Scene
At first glance, it's fairly obvious that this cozy, European-style pub is decorated to honor Thomas Alva Edison, with odd artifacts from the turn of the 20th century adorning the bar's tiny front section. It's also fairly obvious that if Edison hung out much at his namesake, he wouldn't have invented a damn thing.

That's because he would have had more than 100 types of beer to drink up, several of which are typically hard to find. Sandy, the manager, recommends the St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout on tap, the Hoegaarden Belgium White and the Leifman Fraumbozien Bier (a raspberry wine-style ale). The bartenders are well-educated on the line-up, and if you still need help choosing, expert Sandy's usually there. Despite the fancy brews, Edison's is an unpretentious hangout built in a converted house. Up a few stairs, the bar's second level stretches out with booths, a pool table and a summer patio.

Edison's Next Door Deli is but a few steps away--serving up great sandwiches to all Tremont night owls.
