It's definitely one of the least pretentious bars in Back Bay. It probably wouldn't be his first choice, but Chuck B would pick it over Vox Populi -- unless you were buying... Wheel of Beer! ~r </p> http://bostonist.com/2008/09/03/bostonist_back_to_school_guide_firs.php#comment-1452676 http://bostonist.com/2008/09/03/bostonist_back_to_school_guide_firs.php#comment-1452676 Comments Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:10:10 -0500 <p>I always thought Bukowski was wayyyyy too pretentious looking to have any connection to its namesake. In fact I'm surprised it's still around, it seems completely gimmicky and stupid. A proper Bukowski bar would be behind an unmarked steel door in a Southie back alley, not ever sweep the floor or wipe the walls, and have half the tables turned over. Still, the real Bukowski probably wouldn't go there, either.</p>
