The Third Rail is a bar in Goodneighbor in 2287.

Background
The Third Rail is a bar located in a repurposed subway station. The bar is owned by John Hancock, the mayor of Goodneighbor, but is tended by a Mister Handy with a cockney accent named Whitechapel Charlie.

A singer named Magnolia performs frequently in the Third Rail, making it one of the only places in the entire Commonwealth with live entertainment.

MacCready, a potential follower, can be found here.

Behind the scenes

 * There is in fact a subway station (a.k.a. a "T" stop) below the Old State House in Boston. As the blue tile on the walls indicate it's a stop on the Blue Line (but instead of being named Scollay Square it's actually called simply "State"). In real Boston, the State T Station is a stop on the Blue and Orange Line.
 * The term "Third Rail" is used by railway workers to call the conductor rail found on electrified railway lines such as those found in subways.
