Back In Action with Culture and “Class”

What better way to dive back into Hungry?City action after a holiday hiatus than by injecting some class into my Hungry repertoire with The Squealing Pig in Mission Hill. After a few hours at the Museum of Fine Arts my date and I were looking to unwind and this local watering hole was the perfect solution.

We started the night with some Belgian white ales from The Squealing Pig’s vast beer selection of well over 60 beers. Between gulps we munched on veggie quesadillas filled with sizzling black beans, sour cream, fresh spinach and spicy picante sauce. Four beers later we were ready for our main course, a loaded Mission Burger, and a finely stacked veggie sandwich both paired with crispy satisfying French fries.

By and away though, the most memorable part of the evening occurred around our fifth round of exotic brews when Michael Barret, the famed folk singer of the Squeaky Pig took the stage. His outrageous Irish medleys had the entire bar in stitches and left some with bruised thighs as the intense knee slapping nature of his music made it easy to get carried away by the beat. Moral of the story, get to The Squealing Pig on Thursday nights, you might not remember all of the evening but if Michael Barret is there you’ll know it was epic.
