Whether ramping up for a Celtics showdown or closing out a concert night, boisterous crowds crow nightly over brews at genial chef Brian Poe’s gastropub on the backside of Beacon Hill. The titular taps, all 36 of them, flow with a rotating assortment of craft beers, while uniquely dressed meat tips—from standards like steak to occasional wild game specials like elk and antelope—anchor a menu of inventive tavern fare. Tip Tap booms.
