“ The rating for this pub should be way higher than it is. We recently stayed in the Financial district for 5 days. The first night we went there and fell in love the place. Went back a second time. The atomosphere is cozy and comfortbale. Trivia was a blast. The staff were all super friendly and fun and provided great service. The food was outstanding! And everything was so reasonably priced! Special shout out to John, Jalen, Daniel, and Cornina for great service and camaraderie. Thanks Guys and gal!!! We'll be back!! ”
“ My last dinner in Boston before moving mid June . I stayed at the Dagny and this was around the corner. It's a typical Irish pub. Plastic cups , cheap , plentiful , greasy food. Loud. Lots of people there - it's a great after work drinks meet up type of place. I just got the onion soup and a quesadilla. Nothing fancy but it was good. The quesadilla lasted was 2 meals for me. Dinner and Bfast the early next morning. It was a fun place to take in the last full day of my 17 years living there. Watching all the friends out for drinks and remembering my days of after work fun before adulting and having a kid cut out of me. A Celtics game was on and they won. Everyone was happy. Boston was a fun place to live and I'm glad I had my greasy historic Irish pub meal and a very watery tequila sunrise to say "cheers to 17 years!" You'll definitely enjoy your meal and you'll definitely enjoy the Boston vibe. Drinks may be hit or miss but they aren't that expensive so there's that! If I wasn't alone I would have gotten a second watery tequila sunrise. :) Miss you Boston! ”
“ Hard to judge overall, because we were there on an exceptionally busy day and we are probably not the demographic that they serve, but I want to compliment our server ( and apparently the only waitress scheduled for 5pm on a Saturday) Brittney, who while serving an entire very busy 2 rooms with what appeared to be hundreds of beers & meals, kept her composure and sense of humor. A very hard job, well done. my question is, why 2 bouncers and one waitress? The food was great and the prices were reasonable for the area. I would go back again but would hoped that I didn't have to spend my time feeling sorry for the server. ”
“ Fish and chips was great. Buffalo chicken Rangoon was good but could have used more filling. Cold drinks, friendly bartender. Understaffed but we sat at bar so we had good service. Bartender running the whole joint. ”
“ It pays to ask locals where the best deals are. We came her after hearing about their 20 lobster dinner. It did NOT disappoint. We had a lovely and skilled Irish waiter who served us warmly and fast. Our meals were done quickly and the lobster was perfect as was the serving size of the French fries and coleslaw. Sadly the bartender wasn't up to cranking out any cocktails so we settled for a coca cola. But everything else was great. I did want to buy one of their t shirts but was told the person with the keys wasn't present. Oh well. Will we go back. Yes. Will we recommend people. Yes. Will we tell them to order cocktails?No. But the beer menu did look great. ”
“ The service and food here were really good. Food was hot and cooked perfectly. Ambiance for a day lunch spot very good ”
“ Despite the reviews, I had a nice trivia night here. It is definitely loud, so be ready to yell to your friends, but other than that it's a nice vibe, beers are only $1 and I was pleasantly surprised with how quick service was. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and let me tell you, it was so fresh and so well seasoned, it tasted like something I would have gotten at a higher end spot or fried chicken- specialized restaurant. Would definitely come back for it ”
“ I don't understand the bad reviews- $1 beer is amazing, the bar tender was friendly and the environment was nice for happy hour. I was only in Boston for a day and was recommended to stop by and it didn't disappoint! ”
“ I'd give six out of five if I could. 1. If you're getting food here you're wrong. 2. Dollar beers, excellent music and a Saturday full of DANCE. Maybe one of the best stream of songs I've heard on a Saturday night in too long. Bartenders were working and strutting with how many humans were at this place on a weekend night. I will be back, and I will wear sneakers next time to avoid the 21 beers on my feet. ”
