These Boston Restaurants and Bars Are Open During Today’s Snow Storm

Despite the atypical weather Boston has experienced so far this winter, you didn’t really think we’d go unscathed, did you? Winter Storm Mars, it’s apparently called, is dumping 6-10 inches of snow today, shuttering schools and many workplaces.

But likely, not your local watering hole: the ever-resilient restaurant and bar scene is ready to serve with half-price burgers, breakfast-for-dinner, the ultimate comfort food; fondue; and plenty more warming cocktails and specials.

Updated for Monday, February 8, here is a neighborhood guide to combatting stir-craziness. We’ll continue to update this list as the day progresses, but please confirm with the restaurants and bars before heading out in case circumstances have changed.
