These are the top 10 bars in Boston, according to check-in data
Making weekend plans just got easier.
When it comes to picking a bar in Boston, there’s a few ways to go about it: you can take suggestions from friends, who will likely recommend the same places they always do. You can sift through online reviews. Or, you can rely on cold-hard data to show you where people are going.
Thanks to data from check-in app Swarm, we were able to find out which bars people were checking into the most last weekend. Swarm is an app from Foursquare lets users check in when they visit locations like restaurants, bars, and museums. The app also offers users recommendations based on those check-ins
