With today's deal, for $10 you get $20 worth of upscale pub fare and drinks at The Red Hat, nestled in the heart of Beacon Hill.

As one of Boston's oldest establishments, The Red Hat has been appeasing appetites for 107 years with a menu stocked full of upscale pub fare. Patrons can inaugurate a night on the town with a titillating appetizer such as blue-crab toasted ravioli stuffed with Maryland's coolest crustacean, lightly breaded, toasted golden brown, and complemented by a creamy rémoulade ($7.99). For entrees, halt hunger with fish and chips, a flavor-bomb of fried Atlantic haddock pulled from the Boston harbor and served with coleslaw and tartar sauce ($11.99); or step outside of the sea to enjoy a variety of half-pound Angus burgers, like the Alpine burger drenched in a suit of sautéed mushrooms and a scarf of swiss cheese ($8.99).

My wings were freaking awesome. Super hot, perfectly cooked, and the dude even put an extra side of hot sauce on the plate for me. – Alyssa J., Yelp

My favorite low key bar in downtown Boston, best wings. Ever. Aaand [sic] AMAZING sweet potato fries! – laughingoddess, Citysearch

The Red Hat

As you sit down on one of the The Red Hat's green vinyl barstools and lift a mug of lager to your lips, you might be replicating the movements of a patron from more than 100 years ago. Except that he or she would have snuck a nervous glance at the back door between every sip. The historic establishment survived the Prohibition era in Scollay Square—an area known for its bawdy vaudeville theater and risqué entertainment—by functioning as a reputable restaurant by day and a speakeasy by night.

Though the taps now flow freely in the daylight, some things at The Red Hat haven't changed. The menu still provides sailors, dockworkers, and local shoppers with hearty, comforting dishes of wings, fried fish, and other pub snacks. As Mike Dunphy of Beacon Hill Patch put it, "The Red Hat is a rare reminder of Boston's yesteryear, bringing an earthy spice to the more refined palate of Beacon Hill—an unpretentious watering hole to gain some courage for the climb." The exposed brick, wood-paneled walls, and old-timey memorabilia also give the space a turn-of-the-century feel. So do the nostalgic street-scene murals depicting the days when Saturns were Studebakers and people walked their Electrolux vacuums instead of pet dogs.
