Our first stop in Boston! It's dark, lots of posters & old. The food was great, we all enjoyed it. I had the Sheppards pie & was so full afterward. There was a great selection of drinks, with their own specialties.
October 2025
I’d say that the food was not good enough to go out of your way for. The real attraction is the live music in the back, but be warned it’s very loud and if you aren’t expecting that it can but a damper on the meal.
September 2025
Great bar in the heart of David square with two music areas, one being a dedicated back room. The food was solid, won’t blow your mind but is satisfying and the prices are fair. Service was attentive. Outdoor seating is nice if the weather cooperates and importantly is on the sidewalk- not the street. Different bands are playing here nightly. I’ll be back!

Thank you!
