Very nice Irish pub. The waiter recommended us a very nice red beer because we didn’t knew what to order.

I actually went there for sushi making class. The class had nothing to do w the bar except for the fact that it rented a space to do the class. I did however have a drink and dinner there before the class. The drink and dinner were great and so was the service.

Tall skinny loser bouncer has to go. Absolute control freak. The loser who couldn't be a cop so he's now a bouncer (on weekdays only), didn't like that one of our guests was dozing off at the table, told him to stop it. Then, when the same gentleman started to move something across the table, he was told to not do so by the same loser who couldn't bounce anybody if he tried. Seriously?!We left. Won't be back.

The food was delicious and the attention was outstanding, we hardly spoke English, they had a cook come out and they served us perfectly in Spanish, the truth is that they treated us very wellDietary restrictions: They told us to report if we had any problems or allergiesWheelchair accessibility: It is accessible

Really fun and surprisingly large interior. Lots of little touches to make it very unique and authentic. Friendly staff, good food. A little Jewel that's easy to miss, for sure.

We stopped in on a freezing Saturday night and grabbed a couple seats at the bar. Terrific line of craft beers including Guinness and Smithwicks on tap, and a low-key unpretentious atmosphere that is getting rare to find in Boston. My Old Fashioned was really tasty and service was attentive even though the place got slammed with a mob of boisterous friendly bros downing shots and pints. I think they have live music almost every night so we'll be back!

My husband and I stopped into Hennessy's this past Saturday (2/24) evening for drinks and something to eat. I started off with a dirty martini, which was awesome. The only downside was no olives....which of course makes a dirty martini extra special. We ordered the Curry Cheese Fries as an app and they were outstanding.To cap off the evening, we ordered Hot Toddy's which were made by Mark (bartender) and these were excellent. Definitely a cool vibe and atmosphere at Hennessy's. A little something for anyone looking for a cool evening out with friends or family.We'll definitely be back!

Hennessy's is an old bar with so much charm. The bartender was very accommodating and friendly which made the experience a lot of fun. We just drank so no opinions on the food.

I love the atmosphere of this place, especially at this time of year. The rueben sandwich was really tasty, and we all loved their fries.
