I’ve been going to this pub for years, and I thought it was a safe haven. Turns out it isn’t. I heard a bartender make an antisemitic joke to some patrons. I’m Jewish. When I calmly and politely asked him to repeat the joke to me, he refused—because, of course, he knew it was virulently antisemitic. When I told him I was a victim of antisemitic violence—again, in a calm and polite manner—he refused to repeat his “joke.” If you’ve ever been a part of a minority group, you know what this means—“joke” is a dog whistle for overt bigotry, and the refusal to acknowledge it to the person or party is a form of gaslighting. He made it seem like I was out of line for—again, calmly and politely—asking him to repeat this “joke” to my face.
I plan on going back and reporting this to the manager and/or owner of Eire; if no one takes it seriously there, I’m sure local media will be highly interested.
Oh, and the bartender is the older gentleman with the excellent curlicued mustache I’ve complimented many times. I never thought a person who I’d had many pleasant exchanges with since I moved to this neighborhood could be such a bigot.

Traditional Irish pub. Fresh Guinness, attentive bartenders, variety of clientele from Brogue-sounding gentlemen to newly-minted Dorchester locals. Conversation, not dance or trivia. Bar like they used to make them.

The chicken wings? Crispy & delicious. The beer? A proper draft of Guinness in a proper etched bottom glass. The pricing? Very decent, even competitive.
The vibes? There are none. It's like sitting alone in your grandparents' parlor—comfortable enough, but dull. The exception for that is coming on Paddy's Day after the Southie Parade, then the place is lively. However, note on that day that they'll only have one or two items that the kitchen will offer.

Good local pub with Irish flavor. Plenty of seating at the bar and several tables on each side. Prices are EXCELLENT on food & food quality good - great , quick “cheap-eats” place. Street parking can be tough but there’s a parking lot across the street.
To-go orders hard to beat anywhere else around. Steak & cheese, freshly made, delicious and $13!!! This pub has been doing it right 60 years now, here’s to 60 more ??☘️
