This is more of a bar and loud music- if that’s your thing then this is the place for you. We thought it was more of a restaurant- we did not order anything there since we were on there for just 5 minutes.

Coogan is known for its $2.00 Draft Beers, but is also know for good service tasty food and great atmosphere. I make it a point to stop in for a pint whenever I am in the area. Located between the leather and the financial district. Good spot to watch the Game and socialize of just enjoy lunch and be on your way.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level.
I am from out of town and went to Coogan's a few weeks ago on a Saturday. We got there around 12:30 to watch a college football game. At first, there weren't too many people there and our waitress was great! The food was awesome and the $1 draft beers came out quick. Around 2pm, people started flowing in and the place got packed. Service slowed down a little after that, understandably, and it took a little longer for beers, and a while to get our check.Overall we had a great experience and the staff was very friendly! Be aware that at peak times, it can get a little slow for service, but that's to be expected anywhere. Would highly recommend!

I am extremely disappointed at the way I was treated at this bar yesterday evening after only three beers. it was my first bar since moving to the city and it all started with a ridiculous 12$ cover charge at the door for a DJ that was decent and a women's bathroom, with only two stalls, was not up-kept at all throughout the night leaving the majority of the bars customers, females with one stall supplied with toilet paper and not covered in vomit. After 20 min of waiting in the bathroom with 5 other girls, for the one stall, one of my friends had bled through her tampon and I was about to pee my pants. there was a single gender neutral bathroom that also was being occupied as far as we could tell. we approached the men's restroom and asked the two men in there if we could use the stall since no one was and they happily said they would make sure no other men would bother us while we quickly went pee with toliet paper. As I was trying to close and lock the stall door a bouncer slammed into the door and at first I didn't know who it was so I slammed back but as a small female, when he hit it again it opened. He demanded us out of the bathroom and was being very aggressive and rude. luckily the gender neutral bathroom opened and we went in and used the bathroom. On our way out, my friend went to go grab another beer and I approached the bouncer, who's name I'm pretty sure was Sal, and attempted to apologize for anything that seemed wrong, but we simply just needed to pee very badly and the women's restroom was absolutely destroyed. he proceeded to tell me that he didn't care, don't do it again, now get out of the bar now. I expressed my card was on tab, I had just gotten my third beer and I don't understand why this is such a huge deal. he proceeded to shove me towards the door and when I tried to get my card he got closer to me and tried shoving me again. I backed up and told him what I just had said, I need my card. I expressed my situation to a bartender yet they both said talk to the manager outside. he tried getting me to throw away my whole beer because the manager was outside and he told me I couldn't bring it outside, and I said I just bought this I am not throwing it away so he proceeded to tell me to chug it and hurry up. once I was outside the manager, who I believe was named Chris, was even more disrespectful and disgustingly rude. I calmly tried to tell my story and he said oh so you got caught and the other girl didn't? and I simply was like caught doing what peeing? we need toliet paper to wipe ourselves.... and he said I should have asked someone for toliet paper and it is the same as a man walking into a women's restroom. overall, I stood outside and he simply made me feel like I had committed a crime and I was treated as though I was a terrible person. As a women, and as a person who has been to plenty of bars without any issues at all, I think the behavior illustrated by these men is disgusting and I highly do not recommend this bar. not only were the staff terrible, but the older men they had in the bar hitting on 23 year olds and trying to get handsy and in our business after we had told them no was also in front of these bouncers, made this bar the worst I have ever been in. I hope no one else has to deal with men like this.
Worst bar in Boston. Bouncers are thugs. Food terrible. Nothing redeeming about this place. Go to Mr Dooley's

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.

Really disappointed to see the bar shrink the $1 draft to what seems to be a 10oz cup. Corporate greed? Absolute disregard for the community? Maybe both. It’s not as if Bud Light costs anything these days anyways.
