Just a heads-up, Tuesdays are trivia night at jm Curleys, so they're usually pretty packed. But, if you get there early, it's doable, plus trivia would be a fun activity, too (but it would definitely run late). Still, it may be tough for a large group, since jm Curleys doesn't have the largest space.
Okay, I'm gonna list a few places I have experience with (that also have good and/or reasonably priced alcohol, haha). There's Stoddard's nearby (which is pretty pricey -- but everything is really good). There's also SideBar... not nearly as classy as Stoddard's of jm Curleys, but it's cheap and good, in my experience. Fajitas and Ritas is also a cheap option with lots of space!
Also, I tend to get out of work late, but I was planning to head to JJ Foley's anyway, so I'd definitely want to stop by for this, if I have time! Tentative +2

In.
Just let me know what the definitive time is so I can get out of the office early.

Stoddard's sounds really good to me. How big's the location?
Not huge, but big enough. Fills a bit with the after-work Happy Hour crowd, but there should still be plenty of tables.
Either way, you'd want to make a res a few days in advance.
Also, you've significantly increased my chances of skipping out of work early and joining you all by choosing Stoddard's, haha. They always have excellent beer on tap, and they make a damned good cocktail.
Increase my chances to a "Probable +2."
me + Baka Al and we are intending to head to the JJ Foley's later on so it makes perfect sense to grab some dinner and some beers here. Landing around 13.30 so unless crazily delayed flying out of UK might as well count us as definite.
Go ahead and add me. I'm going to PAX solo this year so I'd love to meet all of you!

That's right on the way home from dropping the kids off at school, and it's spring break so there are no classes to teach. I've got no reason not to come!
There's a very good chance we're going to overflow the space set aside for us (and I can't revise the reservation higher) so if you're there on the earlier side, I'd suggest grabbing a seat at the bar first just in case.
Okay, I'm working out my schedule now and the venue isn't far away from where I'm going to be though I might be later than 6:30. We'll see what kind of day I have.
There's a few places around and there's a great store somewhat nearby. Was debating asking you guys a favor there's a ton of whisky one can't get stateside

If you don't ask you don't get! So ask away (I am assuming it is bring over a bottle of something in particular?)
Not been checking the forums as much as I should have been this time around. I would like to throw my hat in the ring since I am spending a few extra days in Boston.

Also, would anyone be willing to hang out with me today? I am at a loss at what to do.
(Sorry for double post)
I might be able to show up to Stoddard's a little early if you're interested.

See you all there!

The UK eh? Whereabouts? Are you whisky fans perchance?
We are coming from Nottingham (flying in from Heathrow though of course) - Baka Al? I think he drinks whisky on occasion.
Myself? I aspired to love it, but that didn't happen unfortunately!
Well, I am partial to a wee dram of good whisky on occasion
You know of any place in Boston with a good selection?
If you don't ask you don't get! So ask away (I am assuming it is bring over a bottle of something in particular?)
3.30am? See this is why I am going the day before!
Since I am a born and breed Scot, it is a given I am a whisky fan.

That is on the 19th March though - so plenty of time before actual PAX starts!

If I remember right, there aren't a ton of whisky bars (or rather, bars with a good selection of whisky) nearby Foleys. @arsonisfun may know.
No worries. I know I am not too far away from Whisky places when I am home.

I'm incredibly jealous
So we land at like 4.30pm. So hopefully be there but late so prob just as u are leaving for foleys. Is the reservation under a particular name?
My flight was also delayed but we made up an hour or so in the air, so we landed on time. Maybe you'll get in about 3:30?
