    below in the picture is the bar tender prime time George and the models top hit playing dj aka "DJ DAVID". he tears the friggen club up with his hot fire jams like DMX Rihanna major lazer and the list goes on and on. I can literally not get enough of this dream team George and David, they work so well together it's like they've been friends forever and they totally act like it too!!!! great chemistry!!! I went once on a cool breezy September Saturday night. this bar was packed with hot chicks and good looking dudes. everyone offering to buy everyone else's drinks it was the best time ever!!!! I texted my mom and told her to not wait up cuz I was out partying all fricken night!!!! tore the club up!!!!
    one time I thought that  I might have had one beer too many...but don't fret cuz they have a sweet friggen hot dog cooker in the bar with hot dogs in it!!! at least one night a month you can get yourself a sweet but savory steamed dog! delish!

    George is a prime time bar tender and I would bet on him in a fight with any other bar tenders in the area dude is straight RIPPED. sully the door man is a legend. biceps outta this world! always greats you with a smile and is never in a bad mood (unless the Bruins lose hehe) but the Bruins never lose cuz we're from Boston baby!!! best city in the GD world!!!!!!!

    i would suggest drinking here every night for the rest of your life until you die! it's worth it!!! see you there!!!! buy me a drink!

    DJ DAVID plays only good music too so bring all your hot chick friends and good looking dude friends and come to the dance floor and STEP UP....you'll GET SERVED!!!!!

    I used to attend this club as frequently as of last weekend. I had a friend visiting from states away, and as I tried to enter the bar I was denied entry and she was allowed! Neither of us has any alcohol this evening but I was being told "I had too much" and was denied entry. She (my Caucasian friend) later tried to enter, having been fairly visibly intoxicated and gained entry without question!! I'm begging you to consider the systematic racism that is obviously at work in this business. It's heartbreaking because I truly did enjoy this bar.

    I love the vibe of this place but the DJ plays the same playlist every single time. Have been coming here for 4 years. SWITCH IT UP

    Something Missing

    Sadly this place has all of the makings to be one of the best dive bars in the area.  I have a feeling 20 years ago it probably was.

    Now, it's a bland, dry, and overpriced.  An overpriced "dive" bar.  What a sin.  

    They Model has a great sign outside, the interior is still pretty beat up, and so are the bathrooms.  All of this should lead to a good rating, but the bartender, server, and patrons were just duds.  

    I see no reason to ever go back in this place.  This is a bold statement from a person like myself who truly enjoys a real dive bar.  

    Thanks

    Model is great but Barbara is a gosh dang liar. They've gone up to $2.75. I trusted you, Barbara. Model Café 5/5; Barbara 2/5.
