Three days of cask ale goodness await as the New England Ale Exhibition kicks off tonight at the Tap in Haverhill. Every night will feature new freshly tapped ales, and tonight you'll want to look out for the Allagash Curieux, a Belgian monster with 11 percent alcohol, aged in bourbon barrels.
To celebrate 50 years in business, Boston Bowl is turning back the clock to 1959 prices, meaning you can bowl, fill up on pizza and burgers and drink liters of soda, all for 50 cents a pop.

Top chefs from O Ya, Garden at the Cellar and Tremont 647 join forces Sunday for a one-night, all-you-can-eat tasting of their talents. And after 8pm, head next door to the club for some live music from local rockers. If you time it right, you may even make it home for Mad Men.
