Come on down to boy town! Boston’s latest and greatest eatery offers a dining experience unlike any other. At most restaurants, food for your party is served separately on different plates and platters, and needless to say, this is incredibly wasteful. At Boys Bucket, it’s all served up together in one convenient, big ol’ bucket! Eat it with a round of spoons, or do it the old-fashioned way, because at Boys Bucket, there’s nobody there to judge you for going down sloppy style!

The system may be a bit of a shock to newcomers, but once you get the gist, it’s not much different than chains like Subway or Chipotle. You walk in, pick a bucket size, and fill her up with whatever the boys are hungry for. Chicken wings? Pizza? Quesadillas? Toss ‘em in the bucket, and add a few scoops of ice cream for dessert! And don’t forget the drinks! Soda, water, beer, they got it all at Boys Bucket! And if you don’t love the idea of your solid food being sloshed together in a bucket with sticky liquids, then I might need to re-examine your boy card.

With vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available, there’s something for all the boys. Try the “Boys Will be Boys Jackfruit Mash-up,” or the classic “Sam’s Salad,” a hearty mix of fresh greens and veggies tossed up and soaked soggy in that delicious lager Boston was built on. Just make sure you inform your server if any of the boys in your party have a food allergy, as there have been some minor issues in the past. While the boys down at Boys Bucket will certainly do their best, believe it or not, there’s only so much you can do to separate food when you smash it up together in a giant, metal bucket.

And speaking of buckets, there are sizes for every occasion. If you’re having a bromantic evening with your best bud, grab yourself a BFF Bucket, or if you’re getting all the boys together for a night on the town, try the Five-Gallon Party Boy Bucket. Even if you’re just stopping for a quick hang after work, take a big gulp of Boston with the Big Gulp Bucket. And if you’ve got a huge group of boys, put in an order for the legendary Big Boy Bucket, an option that has become increasingly popular amongst little league coaches saddled with the monumental task of feeding an entire team of hungry little scamps after the big game. 

“You know, sometimes I feel like parents sign their kids up for these things just to pawn their responsibilities off on someone else for an afternoon,” said one coach I had the chance to chat with while visiting the restaurant. “I mean, Boys Bucket is a lifesaver! Everyone can get what they want, and I don’t gotta worry about placing a million orders. Get a few pizzas, toss ‘em in. Get a dairy-free one for James. He’s lactose intolerant and will literally die if he eats cheese. Dump in a couple jugs of Gatorade, and throw in a few brewskis for myself, and we dig in. One team. One bucket. Everyone wins! Well, not them. They lost. They always lose.” 

And while every night at Boys Bucket is one the boys are sure to remember, you can also pop in for special events like this weekend’s Easter Feature egg hunt, or the upcoming Cinco De Mayo Margarita-thon where you can have your burrito and drink it too!       

Enjoy a fun and modern lounge area or sit at the boy bar, where all the boys will be treated to one big communal bucket. And the great thing about Boys Bucket is that here, boys can truly be boys. If you’d rather be watching “The Real Housewives of Timbuktu,” no judgment! If you’re more interested in the outcome of Darth Sidious vs full potential Anakin over the Sox vs the Yankees, you’re welcome here! If you want to look your boys in the eye and tell them wholeheartedly that you love them, go for it! 

At Boys Bucket, there’s no girls allowed so you don’t have to pretend to be an asshole with the emotional intelligence of a brick anymore. Now, if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t need an isolated environment without women to be secure in who you are, then I’m sorry to tell you, but you won’t be allowed to eat at Boys Bucket, for you are not a boy. You, my friend, are a man.
