A great bar can be made of so many things. It can be a spot to finally wind down and have a drink after a long week or a place to blow off steam and party with your girlies.

Whether you're looking to try something new or visit an old favorite, a bar is the heart of the social scene.

But when it comes to finding, “the best” in New England, USA Today says that one place stands out.

Ladies and gents, welcome to the L Street Tavern in Boston. It’s a legendary Massachusetts landmark, located on the corner of L and East Eighth Streets in South Boston.

According to USA Today, L Street Tavern is the Best Bar in New England.

According to the site, it was 30 years ago when it was chosen as a top location for the Academy Award-winning movie, "Good Will Hunting."

So if you thought it was familiar, you were right!

The iconic Irish pub became famous all around the world, thanks to the building starring in scenes with Robin Williams, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Minnie Driver.

It’s that one scene at the high-top table that we all remember. The table is still a favorite for visitors travelling from far away just to sit in the spot those celebs sat in. The table is now like a shrine with movie photos and Oscar night memorabilia all around.

Watch the scene from YouTube, below! 

But this spot is not just a famous landmark, it’s also a local favorite.

As per the report, co-owner Mark Medico says that people from all walks of life make their way to the tavern, especially for the fun sports atmosphere.

The bar itself has 7 wide-screen TVs for perfect views from every seat. That is perfect for Red Sox fans to pile in and scream for a home run.
