My experience in the Boston pub scene, which is quite extensive, is that 
under-21 folks will not be getting into any pubs on a Friday.  The pubs 
will be too busy, the carding will be done at the door.

The last time I had an under-21 friend in town, a couple of years ago, 
the only place that worked out was Jillians.  It's a bit flashy, but a 
side benefit for all attendees from out of town is that they can walk by 
Fenway Park, which is right across the street.
