- JHJ H2 days ago5.0Awesome spot! The fish and chips was fantastic (there's no shellfish in the restaurant, so it was also safe to eat if you have a shellfish allergy). The Sunday roast was also delicious, and the horseradish aoli delightful. Aisling was our waitress, and she was fantastic. Prices are very reasonable. We will be back.
- SGShavaughn G.Dec 31, 20255.0Im a large fan of trying new foods so I specifically looked for this type of place, they had everything I was looking for, i challenged the bartender to make me whatever he wanted and he rose to the challenge, he was really nice and fun to be around, . I had the scotch egg, the wee pie flight and the bread pudding, the scotch egg was really good. The wee pie flight had some good flavors the shepherd pie was a bit dry but still flavorful, pur server was really awesome great service really fun personality ( most Irish people are 😀) the whole experience was fantastic will be returning again definitely.
- ZKZara KhanDec 27, 20255.0Such a beautiful atmosphere here, cozy, inviting, and just the right vibe to relax in. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly executed every time.
- JBJim BowkerDec 25, 20255.0Just make sure to make reservations if you go at a busy time. The place was pretty packed by the time we ordered. Everything was good, and everyone enjoyed theireals. If you haven't been in a while, it's time to go back and remember why you liked it.
- DDDonDec 18, 20255.0Good value! The family went here as our first stop in Boston after being in Vermont for three days. So happy to finally have some good food 🤭. I would recommend the old fashioned all day. The pretzel bites were on point and the cheese was great. You will have cheese left over, pro tip, save it for your fires which were awesome. The wife and boy got chicken fingers and they were cooked perfectly. Crispy outside and juicy on the inside. The atmosphere is what you want from an Irish Pub in Boston.
