Beacon Hill: No. 9 Park

No. 9 Park, 9 Park St., Boston: Free yummy bar snacks including homemade potato chips topped with crème fraîche and caviar and gougères (Wikipedia says a gougère is French cuisine, "a savory choux pastry with cheese.")

I hate to admit this, but I have never been to No. 9 Park. People argue that it's the best restaurant in Boston, but on my small salary I have yet to splurge and go. However now that I am aware of the free bar bites you may see me on a stool with a dirty martini VERY soon!

Beacon Hill: 75 Chestnut

75 Chestnut, 75 Chestnut St., Boston: Free Cookie Night! Tuesday night at 5 pm, the restaurant tests out a new cookie recipe. And you can even bring in your favorite cookie recipe to be shared, and they will prepare it and put it to the test. The best cookie recipe will win dinner for two at 75 Chestnut!

I love the burgers at 75 Chestnut.... so hopefully the cookies are good too!

Beacon Hill: 6 B Lounge

6 B Lounge, 6 Beacon St. Boston: $3 Tapas on Tuesday nights, $6 margaritas on Wednesday nights and $6 mojitos on Thursday nights.

I went her tonight, Tuesday June 30 2009, and the sliders were horrendous! I'm sorry 6B Lounge, but buying mini-burgers at Market Basket (which is what they tasted and looked like) doesn't cut it, not even for $3! The Spring Rolls helped redeem, but the Spanish Meatballs were only so-so. If I had to give advice, I would recommend you go with the intention of drinking copious cheap Sangria (also on special) so you can't taste the tapas!

Beacon Hill: The Hill Tavern

The Hill Tavern, 228 Cambridge St: weekdays, 4pm-6pm, and enjoy half-priced appetizers.

I love this bar. It's great for the over-college but not over going out on a weeknight crowd. The food is awesome, I highly recommend the sweet potato fries and the burgers. This may be one of the best places to get half price appetizers on this blog!
