One of the best Irish Pubs I’ve been to and trust me that’s a lot. The service was great, staff were pleasant, and it was nice to hear the accents from back home.
Great food, and the Irish Coffee was one of the better ones I’ve ever had, loved the brown sugar on top.Need to try that the next time I make my own. Other items on the menu looked great, but the Lobster Roll was on special so we tried that and it didn’t disappoint. The accompanying coleslaw was great.
Will definitely have to make a trip back there before we leave Boston.

Cozy little Irish pub with a warm, welcoming vibe and traditional Irish music playing in the background—it definitely adds to the charm.

The food was solid overall. The chicken curry was delicious and full of flavor, and the fish and chips had a great batter-to-fish ratio—crispy without being too heavy. The kids thought the mac and cheese was just okay, nothing special.

It’s a smaller space, so it can feel a bit tight, but the atmosphere was relaxed and authentic. A good spot if you’re craving classic Irish comfort food in the heart of Boston.

I’m visiting from Texas, and I can honestly say I would come back to Boston just for this pub! The food was absolutely amazing, the drinks were on point, and the atmosphere was perfect. I seriously cannot think of a single negative thing to say, everything was top-notch. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. If you're in Boston, do not miss it!
I got the Ham and Cheese Toastie (pic below) and that has been the best tomato soup I’ve ever had!!

I almost didn't go to dinner here because we needed a reservation and had to wait a while, but I can see why you need that reservation. There was a live band that played great music, the staff were very pleasant and the food... Sometimes you have a meal that you remember for the rest of your life. This was one of them. Everything was delicious. My girlfriend, who for years had a favorite restaurant that she talked about frequently, now has a new favorite restaurant. I will weep some days thinking about this place, as I live so very far away from it, but rest assured I will return not for the city of Boston, not for the red sox, but for emmets and their food.

We really enjoyed the food, the music and the service. It was just what expected from an Irish Pub. Definitely recommend.

Started off great, after providing our entire order upfront, including desert. The app came out quickly with no time to enjoy our cocktail. Then a few minutes in our entree came and it was like we were being squeezed out. I told the server to hold the desert until ready. She Said they need to turn the tables in 90min. I responded we have only been there 25min. Mind you, the restaurant was not full. So then the desert shows up without asking for it. We sent it back. Then we ordered desert and it took a long time. When we left, most of the tables were empty. Change how you treat your customers and provide an experience.

Classic Guniess and good food. Off the main streets but very close to the T and walkable. Perfect Irish Pub ambiance. Will definitely go back again

This was our first time visiting and we had a great experience. Food was DELICIOUS! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Seating was a little tight, as we were literally back to back with people at another table. But we didn't mind too much. The waitress and manager were kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
