Welcome back to the BC Interruption Ultimate Boston College Bar Tournament. On tap today is the #3 vs. #6 quarterfinal matchup between Mary Ann's vs.Union Street Bar and Grille. Voting will last for a week and closes next Friday at 5pm.  The complete bracket can be seen here.

#3 Mary Ann's

Even without the #1 seed Mary Ann's predictably had the highest percentage of votes of any bar matchup in the tournament. For our review today, we look to BCI's own BCRaj

"The ultimate BC bar where bartenders seem to never leave. It's the BC version of Cheers. It's a travesty that they didn't get the number 1 seed, but here's the rundown: despite the rumors that they water down the beer, the men's bathroom is not really equipped for a #2, and that questionable things may have been done to the basketballs in the Pop-A-Shot ... I don't think you can find a single bar with a higher percentage of Boston College Eagles day in and day out. Sure, there are lines -- major lines every weekend night Thursday-Sunday -- solely based on the amount of demand for a bar without a single flat screen TV. Still, you have to be amazed. With Buckhunter, Pop-A-Shot, nudie photo hunt, jukebox (dated reference) and a new text message board, there's something for all ages. Remember you are never too old to go to MaryAnn's."

#6 Union Street

In one of the closer matchups of the tournament, Union St. eeked out a win against Irish Pub Belgian Beer Garden The Publick House. To recap her experience at Union St. here is Joanna, BC Class of 2005:

"I believe this was the first place I ever went as a BC student and last for years later. This is also true for my sister, also a BC graduate. Union St. is a great place to take your parents...or should I say they take you, because let's face it college kids can't afford to do this. The food is definitely the best part about Union St, but you can always get a good drink here as well. You can always find your standard beers on tap or in a bottle, or a featured cocktail. This is a great Parents' weekend stop because who wouldn't want a good meal, especially when your parents are footing the bill, and honestly who would want to take their parents to Mary Ann's? Located in Newton Centre this place is a refreshing alternative to your typical bar."
