Mike Ball puts his liver on the line, so you don't have to, as he and a friend sample some of Jamaica Plain's bars that aren't named Doyle's. They started with the Drinking Fountain and continued on through Griffin's and J.J. Foley's Fireside, all within an easy stagger of the Forest Hills T stop.
None calls out or even whispers, "Enter, yuppies!" Of course, that's a major point, eh? From external, and as we found, internal, appearance, this are purposeful potable places. Drinkers welcome.

What happened to the place I used to love?
Went in recently and it was sub par.
Has it changed ownership?

Go a smidge farther the other way and you'll come across The Old Stag Tavern - another of the originals tied to the old breweries. I swear it has the absolute *coldest* beer in all of Boston, the pool is cheap and the folks are friendly.
