$3.50 Budweiser during the Twins!Shaw's Bar & Grill is the perfect Nordeast neighborhood dive bar! A welcoming group of regulars, live music, karaoke, or jam sessions nightly (keep your guitar in the car, the owner might get up and jam with you) make it happening. Like most bars in the area, you don't have to worry about a dress code and drinks are low-cost, even if its not happy hour, which it almost always is anyways at Shaw's.

Shaw's Bar also offers arcade games, golden tee, and darts, as well as a large, fenced-in patio. Music is always a mix of classic rock, blues, or indie rock and the crowd is as varied as you can get.

BTW, Shaw's is also a "sports bar" so you can expect to watch the game; 9 Big-Screen T.V.'s are almost always on.

This bar reserves the right to refuse service to GLBT folks. I went there on a Sunday evening recently with my girlfriend and we sat there for a very long time while the bartender completely ignored us and my $20 bill waiving in the air and just tried to make conversation with the maybe 6 other patrons there in order to keep his attention averted. When we finally gave up and decided we didn't want to be in a place like that, we were sarcastically heckled by a loud mouth patron on our way out the door after not being served. I wouldn't recommend this bar to anyone.

tried to go here the other night at 1. the lights were on, there were about 7 or 8 regulars in the place with full drinks, the bartender told us they were closed. didn't really look like they were doing any closing down work/cleaning. take that as you will.

The Best BarBuger and good nightly food specials. Ribs, tacos and steaks are great. Good music. Changes to the interior coming along good!

Another boring bar in northeast. I gave them a 2 because they are at least trying to make a comfortable atmostphere. They had a band playing but the pictures and instruments screwed into the wall makes me think of a cheap applebees. Unlike the Vegas Lounge and the Knight Cap I wasn't depressed upon leaving. I say depressed because if you go to 3 out of 5 bars in NE the population is generally 40-60 year olds drinking themselves into oblivion. Also the taplines need to be cleaned because my beer tasted like hell.
