“You of the best pints of Guinness in Boston“

“First time at Olde Magoun's Saloon. Beyond amazing food and service. Our waiter ( didn't catch him name) tall gentleman with a beard was phenomenal! Friendly and efficient!!! The food was savory and fresh. We enjoyed the Irish Chicken Curry and the Besto Pesto sandwich!! First time to Boston and by far our favorite meal here.“

“Taylor was beyond professional tonight. what was a very calm, civil election night turned into chaos for a second because of one patron. Taylor was beyond patient and very professional when this man was being very disruptive and she gave him a fair warning as he had been kicked out before. After he escalated by causing more trouble, Taylor calmly told him to leave and he grabbed another patrons purse and threw it at her, thankfully missing, but having things fly from what he hit. Thankfully he did leave and I cannot express how professional Taylor was with this whole situation. I hope he has a perma ban because nobody-especially an employee-should have to deal with this. I will return because of her professionalism and warmth as a barkeep.“

“Fabulous simple basic delectable food! Wonderful homey and comfortable atmosphere. Excellent friendly waitresses. Amazing prices. I love going there.“

“Went for lunch, last Friday. I have to say it was awesome. Our Waitress was so friendly, she checked on us a few times to make sure we had, or needed anything. My sister, and I am telling everyone to go over to McGonagle's Pub in Dorchester, and give it a try. We will be back there soon. 💚“

“A must visit for Boston tourists and locals alike. You're bound to enjoy upbeat live Irish music, friendly staff, and classic pub grub, but with an Irish flair. The food is okay - I like the clam chowder/soup options but otherwise i find the food is a bit pricey for what it is. However, the music and vibes are always enjoyable and keep me coming back (and bringing visitors!) again and again.“

“The Burren is hands down one of our favorite spots to play in Boston! The energy is always incredible, the crowd brings the best vibes, and the atmosphere is perfect for live music. We love hosting our showcases here and can’t wait for the next one!“

“Great atmosphere,great food,reasonable“

“Such a great welcoming bar!“

“Love this place. Food is really good, they have a huge list of craft beers, the staff is always super nice and attentive.“

“Had dinner here before a Sunday show and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. We started with a cup of chowder—and I can see why it’s award-winning. I ordered the pulled pork special, which was very tasty, and the fries were perfectly crisp on the outside. Finished with a rich chocolate cake for dessert.

Our waiter was attentive but seemed a bit overwhelmed—perhaps they were short-staffed that evening. Noticed quite a few Irish tourists enjoying the weekend, which added some lively energy to the place.

Overall, great food—I’d definitely eat here again.“
