Came in on a Sunday afternoon for Trad Music and lunch and was not disappointed. Beef stew was a huge portion which I couldn’t finish, but it was delicious. Nice neighborhood vibe. I will be back.

This is an excellent pub with outdoor seating, so far as to let our dog sit outside with us. Waitress was incredibly friendly, even bringing out dog water. Food was great, but nothing too spectacular. Extensive menu and solid ambiance.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brett Fitzpatrick · Aug 2025

Nice Irish pub for drinks but mixed review for the food. The wings were decent and the chicken tortilla soup was delicious however, I got a Reuben served on white bread and it was small chopped up pieces of corned beef. Could have been an off night and they ran out of sliced corned beef and rye?

Three days in Boston, this was one of our favorite spots. Clean, cozy atmosphere, authentic but unassuming. Our lovely waitress was attentive and informative, giving us great recommendations from the menu. The shepherds pie was so so tasty with large chunks of tender lamb, and the fish and chips were hot, salty, delicious!! The wings were also some of the best we've ever had!

Wicked cool, authentic Irish pub. Customer service, atmosphere, food were 10 out of 10. Top quality beer and whiskey selection. As a cook the Beef stew will have you chasing what the secret extra seasoning is, shepards pie was made with braised lamb and it melted in my mouth along with the mashed potatoes that are clearly handmade and the baked cod was plentiful, tender with mothwatering mustard/caper sauce. My family had the opportunity of chatting with owner which made our experience even more personal. I highly recommend supporting this pub. That made my family feel like we were locals. Bonus they had Flogging Molly music on.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As an out of towner my only suggestion would be to sell Doolins Pub beer kozies as a collector they are fun and people always ask about them.
