This spot deserves way more attention. I know the location, tucked on a tricky corner near the intersection, might make it easy to overlook, but it’s honestly a hidden gem. The interior is beautiful, the food is consistently impressive, and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, whether you’re dining in or grabbing a seat at the bar.
The owner truly stands out. She’s warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the place, always present, chatting with guests, and making sure everything is just right.
I’ve sampled a few items from the menu, and everything has been excellent. Some might say the portions are on the smaller side, but in my opinion, they’re just right, satisfying without being over the top. Tonight, I had the burger with spinach and artichoke dip. The burger was juicy and packed with flavor, and the wedges were perfectly crisp.
If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. This place deserves the love!

Strong drinks and comfort food was like a warm fire on a foggy, rainy day with Sinatra and angry Quincy drivers out the window for ambiance in this beautiful little pub. Its about time Quincy had more Irish fusion to mix up the American fusion.
I ate the food too quickly for a photo so you'll have to come try it yourself.

The atmosphere was soothing and friendly. The service was spectacular. The food was even better than the atmosphere and the service. We will return often.

Tokenfire is like taking a step into a memory. Live piano on Friday nights, attentive service and incredible care to drinks and food. Be prepared for a Ratatouille moment dining or drinking here. I would recommend this place to all of my loved ones. 😭

Took a friend to Tokenfire for his birthday dinner on a Wednesday night and the food and service couldn't have been nicer. Breda and Tim were welcoming and attentive, and we had a wonderful evening. The pork shank was excellent, my wife's cod was prefecture cooked, my daughter scarfed her mussels, and my friend's burger and fries gave us all fomo. We'll be back!!!

We had an amazing dinner at Tokenfire tonight! This cozy Irish pub is truly a hidden gem—welcoming, unpretentious, and serving up an inventive menu that goes beyond the usual pub fare. While the cod and shepherd’s pie were both delicious and generously portioned, the real star of the night was the Bolognese—absolutely incredible! The friendly service and relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a low-key yet delicious family dinner. Even on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn’t too crowded, and the prices (especially for drinks) were surprisingly affordable for Quincy. We’re so glad we found this place and will definitely be back!

The absolute worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I ordered a cheeseburger, which was raw in the middle and a kid’s chicken tenders that came out 30 minutes after I got the cheeseburger. The owner made me feel very uncomfortable with the way she was speaking to her staff . She also deletes all of her bad reviews . This is the second time I’ve posted about this place because the owner keeps having HONEST and TRUTHFUl reviews taken down.

The food is always delicious and the ambiance is great!
Tried this place for the first time tonight and loved it! 18 beers on tap! I had the chicken parm and it was delicious. Great sauce, huge portion - I ate the whole thing! My husband had Shepards pie and it was also delicious with ground lamb. The owner Rita was sweet and the bartender Aaron was welcoming, fun and kind! We will definitely be back!

This place is absolutely lovely. Feels like a real Irish bar, but with a menu for everyone. Atmosphere may be the best in Quincy Center. Service was great, loved my food and drinks. Piano is a great touch. Highly recommend!

My nonprofit group enjoyed a private party at Tokenfire. The hot appetizers were a great start to the party, with meatballs, pork dumplings, the best brussel sprouts and savory flatbreads. We enjoyed the authentic Shepherds Pie, perfectly grilled salmon, and a vegetarian pasta dish. Dessert, including a fig bread pudding with salted caramel gelato and tiramisu was fabulous. The service was excellent and the ambiance was delightful. I hope to return when they have live music.

This was unfortunately one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. It's possible this was an off night, but I won't be coming back to see. There were three total people working on a busy Saturday - one in the kitchen, one at the bar, and one waiting tables. We were a party of two that arrived at 6:45pm.
It took the staff around 15 minutes to give us menus and another 10 or so to take our drink orders. We also tried to put an appetizer in at that time. We had to flag down staff to put our entrees in around 40 minutes in, before our drinks arrived, when we learned that our appetizer hadn't been put in either. At around an hour into our visit, we finally got our drinks (two Pepsi, not cocktails or alcohol), and had no update on when our food would be arriving. The Pepsis arrived with limes that looked like they had been cut multiple days ago - they were shriveled and discolored.
When my wife tried to pay for what had arrived and cancel our order, the staff refused to cancel it, saying you can't leave, we've already put the order in and it'll be out in a minute. It did come out within the time my wife was trying to pay, but the appetizer was raw in places and undercooked in others, and my entree was burnt. My wife's entree never arrived. When I went up to pay for what we'd gotten, staff seemed to ignore my request until I said you can either ring me up right now, or I'll walk out.
I understand being understaffed, but the rudeness we were treated with when all we wanted was to pay for what we were given and go was something I've never experienced. I've purposely put zero stars in Food, Service, and Atmosphere.
