It’s 4:30 in the afternoon, your boss left at 3 for another “dentist appointment,” and you’re sitting around twiddling your thumbs while your stomach growls angrily, reminding you that all you had for lunch was a Hot Pocket. Time to pack it in for the day and relax with a cold beer and quality pub grub on one of the biggest and best patios in Boston. That’s right, we’re talking about 4.5-star Citysearch fave, The Grand Canal, in the North End.

That’s right, we’re talking about 4.5-star Citysearch fave, The Grand Canal, in the North End.

Today’s deal gets you $20 for $40-60 towards food and drinks at The Grand Canal. To help stretch your happy hour/Sunday Funday dollar, the kind folks at The Grand Canal are offering $20 for $60 towards food and drinks if seated during these specific times: Mon-Sat from 3pm-6pm and all day Sunday (11am-2am). At all other times (they’re open 7 days a week 11am-2am), the voucher’s value is $40 - still double the bang for your buck.

This lively, atmospheric Irish pub is tucked between the North Station, the Garden and Haymarket Station- which means it’s easily accessible by T. Plus, they’re known for having something for everyone: great bands on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights (make sure to check out Chris Mathison and Bearfight – our personal faves); an impressive selection of upscale pub fare and drinks for those looking to stop by after work or after an event at the Garden; and flat screens and free WiFi so you can watch the big game or manage your fantasy team.

This is the time to stock up, since you can buy unlimited vouchers (limit one per person per table per visit). We’ve already purchased a boatload, cancelled our lease, and pitched a tent on The Grand Canal’s deck. Please excuse us; it looks like the manager wants to have a friendly chat.
