I've been there couple time to have a drink at the bar. They have very convenient location next to NEU and Symphony. They have mediocre food and drinks, they service is not flattering, so my friends and I avoid that place. One night, couple days ago I was craving for a cheeseburger and  I ordered  it from the Conor's. When I came to pick up my food it was not ready and I came right in time they asked me to come at. When i got my burger and came home I wanted to cry, it was bun and BURNED bun, nothing else, no cheese, no tomato, nothing! fries were soaked in oil and I could not eat it, had to trash it all!!! I will never be back, avoid this place! SUCKS big time
Review Source:You'd never know it from the outside, but Conor's serves up some pretty great burgers and fries. Â I go with the Guinness: a big juicy patty on a fat onion bun with caramelized onions and melty American cheese. Â Legendary. Â Keep it interesting with a seasonal beer and if you come around the noon hour, most of the campus kids are still sleeping and you'll be in and out in an hour.
Review Source:eh.
mediocre at best. sometimes there are bugs. sometimes it's packed with SUPER annoying NEU kids. lots of hot messes.
I'll go here during the day for a quick beer or study break, but not if i can help it. service is either really good or really bad, same with the draft beers.
they do have really interesting honey mustard though.
Visited a friend this past weekend at Northeastern University and we went to Conor Larkin's for a quick bite and for a few drinks.
The Buffalo Chicken nachos were amaaaaaazing and definitely the only reason I would go back to Conor's. The mac and cheese was also spot on. The pitchers of beer were relatively cheap as well.
I am docking 2 stars because even though this place is a typical college bar, the service was awful. We came on a friday around 5pm and even though it wasn't overly crowded we had to flag the waitress down multiple times before we were able to order anything. Took way more effort than was necessary.
All in all, its a good place for some pretty decent food and some beers with friends.
This was my "go to" place for a low key night out while I went to Northeastern. The place can get noisy and packed, especially during sporting events, but its always a good time. Its never loud enough where you can't hear the people at your table -unless the team you're rooting for is winning...or losing.
The bartenders and staff have always been friendly, and the beer selection is extensive. The food is pretty great as well. I've seen Conors more packed on weeknights than weekends on occasion, but its definitely a good pick.
I took the lady here for food before a ballgame, and was not disappointed. Decent beer selection; VERY good food for a bar (burgers were good). So long as you don't mind a little noise (it is very much a college bar), this is a good take.
Having only tried this place once, I do not know how crowded it gets during the school year - so take my Thursday-night-at-5:00-in-June review with a grain of salt.
**3.5**
Conor's is the place all Northeastern students go to drink heavily after any sort of school-related accomplishment. Whether you're here after your Capstone presentation, final lab practical, pointless skill check, or on a Tuesday at noon between classes and work, Conor's will welcome you (with a line down to BHOP and a bouncer manning the door).
This is the daytime version of Our House, which means all of the Northeastern Elite are present, and they're all inappropriately daydrunk. The only difference is that when they finally decide to leave (or get kicked out), they're forced to stumble home in broad daylight rather than in the comfort of an unlit Gainsborough Street at 2am.
The service isn't particularly good. If you want a drink or something to eat, you hafta do all the heavy lifting yourself. Meandering through the crowd to get your next beer can be a pain in the ass, especially when there are a few undesirables amongst them. Prices are cheap, though. Beers range from $2-6, pitchers from $8-14ish and they've got a few tasty IPAs which is OK in my book.
Call it poor judgement but their food is pretty good. Over the past 5 years, I've only had the buffalo chicken nachos, mushroom burger and chicken pesto sandwich, none of which have left me unsatisfied. Then again, it's hard to disappoint a girl who's been awake for 6 hours and has only consumed coffee and beer.
Conor's is pretty solid for what it is - a basement dive bar with no view of the outside world in which it's appropriate to get hammered at any hour of the day. However, I'm absolutely baffled when I see non-Northeasterners in there. I always wonder, "What the hell led you to this place?" Then I usually verbalize my thoughts, to which I'm informed that they attended northeastern back in their day, and all makes sense in the world again.
Other things to note:
-Closes at 1am
-Has a pool table
-Has 3-5 flatscreens that are locked on a game or Sportscenter (word)
-Only 1 bathroom per gender and there's usually a line
I live extremely close to this place, but it took me many years to try it out. Â I guess I had never gone in because of the appearance on the outside. Â I'm not a student, so I didn't know anyone to ask who had been there. Five years after I moved to the neighborhood, I tried this out because I had a Living Social Deal. Â I was sold. Â
I went on a weekend afternoon with a friend and had a fantastic meal. The best part about it was the large portions. Â I got the veggie burger and fries, and my friend got chicken fingers. Â We also shared an order of onion rings.
My food was outstanding. I really like the veggie burgers here, and they're super hearty and large. Â
I've been back a handful of times for take-out, which I prefer. Â The food is always fresh and hot, and they always get it right when I modify. Â One picks up their take-out order from the bartender, who I will tip even when I get my food to-go.
This place is super friendly to vegetarians, I think they have a few items with mushrooms, which don't interest me, but most veggies do.
I just stick with the veggie burger, fries, and onion rings. Â Soooo good. Â The menu has lots of cool goodies on it, I think most people could find something they like here.
Don't be afraid of the outside. Â Sure, it looks a 'lil sketchy, and it's not fancy inside, but it's a cool place. Check it out.
This is a great spot to hang out, watch sports, eat, have a group meeting, catch up with friends, drink, and socialize. Â And everything else.
The atmosphere is very welcoming when you walk in, and you can almost always grab a table during the day. Â It's filled with Boston memorabilia and the service is unintimidating.
Prices are great, you can get a burger, fries, and a huge Boston Lager or two for pretty cheap. Â They also have $8 pitchers, $10 for Bud Light, and a million TV's.
This is a venue that you love to love, and will almost always find people at.
So this place is so convenient to go to while I live near Northeastern. The bartender Matty P always takes care of me and my friends, the beers are reasonable and a decent selection. For watching a game or just chatting with friends this place is great. On St. Patrick's day the line gets ridiculous and sometimes on Tuesday night trivia.
Bonus: Their burgers are awesome also.
Conor Larkin's is a cool place to grab a burger and some beers. It is nothing fancy, a little grimy and absolutely a college bar. They are a browns backers bar on Sundays.
They have mixed drinks but they are really, really strong. Not always a bad thing but it tasted almost like straight vodka. The beers on tap are good and the have $10 Bud pitchers and $8 rolling rock.
On Saturday and Sundays they have a pajama brunch which I have not been to but was intrigued.
We ordered some potato skins and a big boy burger. We shared both and they where delicious.
Read the reviews pretty carefully before you come here.
First, notice most customers are here because of the location, that is, it's right across the street from Northeastern's main campus. Â It's not good enough that anyone from another part of town would make a point of coming here, but it is very convenient for people from NU.
Second, most people are here because the pitcher prices are low. Â Again, that means if you are not interested in cheap pitchers, read carefully to find out if there's any other reason to come here. Â
The food is edible and greasy in a way that would satisfy you if you were drunk. Â That is not my definition of good food.
The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired, a friend killed a roach right on the table where she was eating.
They do not have a full liquor license, but the halfway kind that limits them to selling beer and wine, cordials and liqueurs, which for some reason means they can sell flavored vodka but very few other distilled spirits. Â No gin or whiskey. Â Â
Because they do not have a full bar, they are not knowledgeable cocktail mixers, so even if you do have a drink in mind for which the bar has the ingredients, you would be WELL ADVISED to stick to the beer and wine. Â Avoid challenging the bar with orders for martinis or moscow mules and so forth which you will live to regret. Â There is a pretty extensive menu of beers in bottles and on tap, that's the way to go here. Â
The service is fine and friendly.
Connor Larkin's Grill & Tap is a worn wooden gem stashed away inside the Northeastern campus. With cheap beers and a large open layout, this bar can aim to please nearly any beer drinker.
Ten o'clock the Sunday night I visited, the dregs of bar-goers were hugging the bartop in the back of Connor's. Aside from the cackle of laptop wielding broads in the back corner, the scene was nearly all college bro-dudes (patriot and red sox attire included). My two overly classless pitchers of Sam's Octoberfest were $17.
There is little to complain about. With an atmosphere that one normally associates with Boston bars, without anything really original, Connor's does glassed malt trends a sweet justice.
The bud light pitchers were just upped to $10 :( but I'm pretty sure you can still get rolling rock for $8.
Even with the extra 2 bucks I still love Conor's. It's literally a 4 minute walk from my apartment and I love that no matter when I go there I will see someone I know. It is definitely my favorite close-to-Northeastern spot and I love that I can get my competition on with trivia nights on Tuesdays or playing quarters/card games/flip cup (have I really played flip cup at conor's??). I love that you can get away with wearing your pajamas (I used to come here after working at a gym with my staff shirt on), or you can wear some sort of fancy getup if you're pregaming. The staff is really laid back and the food is surprisingly great! I've pretty much loved all the food I ordered and after one day of especially heavy drinking I ordered a burger that I STILL refer to as "the best burger I ever ate". But I may have had my beer goggles on...
Definitely my favorite Northeastern Bar.
Cheap pitchers. Great place to watch a game or just grab drinks with friends. Pretty decent bar food- love the turkey burger, which is pretty rare to find in general. Â Bomb onion rings. Awesome appetizers. My only complaint is the service- god awful.
Who knew that I would be escorted into Conor's for lunch. (Yes, I said lunch.) That means I did not order beer, it was still daylight outside and the place was pretty much empty. Lunch at Conor's is such a rare occasion, that the owner/manager was even waiting on tables.
Reasons why I will return to Conor's for lunch:
1- Their menu is double sided, huge and has anything you might be craving. I ordered the turkey burger- and it was hella good. (Yes, I said hella good). I was able to replace fries with a tossed salad, and the food came out 10 minutes after we ordered.
2- When ordering water at Conor's, they don't just fill your water glasses- they bring you a pitcher. It may be a strategy so the waiter can ignore our table, but it's a strategy that my fish-like self very much enjoys.
3- My friend, to the manager asks, which sandwich is your favorite? Without thinking- the manager says the Reuben. My friend orders and loves it. Great recommendations earn stars in my book.
4- Beer is available to accompany my lunch. What else do I need to say?
Can't believe that I happily ate a late-lunch at one of the infamous Northeastern bars- but hella glad I did. (Yes, I just misused the word hella so I could say it one more time before the end of my review.)
If Conors was a person, it would be the ex you keep accidentally hooking up with years after you split up who you never really stopped loving, but you grew apart. Â At least that's how it feels to an NU alum who hasn't moved to the burbs yet.
Conors is a great spot - I go back at least every couple months. Â Best feature is the owners/staff - after all, I can drink Bud Light anywhere - but those guys are friendly and down to earth, and I still feel like I belong there even though a good chunk of the patrons were born during the Clinton administration. Â
Wardrobe-wise, you can get away with anything at Conors. Â These days I tend to make it an after-work spot, but when I was in school I'd go in ripped jeans and a hoodie after class, and the next evening I'd be in a club-worthy dress pre-gaming before a night out. Â Anything goes, as long as you have your drinking shoes on.
Location: Across the street from Northeastern University on Huntington Avenue.
I have been coming here since I tuned 21. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere provides for lively patrons. Come in here to play games like quarters or other table drinking games.
It is hard to believe from a little campus bar, but they serve very good food.
-Buffalo Chicken Nachos are as good as they sounds or better
-Definitely give the Guinness burger a shot, you will not regret it
-For a cheap option go with the chili - inexpensive but delicious none the less
Fries come with their burgers and are some of the best i have had in Boston. Consider asking for gravy on them.
I usually frequent Connor's for Tuesday night trivia and the place gets packed. On Tuesday's, you will also find a lot of the fraternity and sorority people around (sometimes a line will form),
Lines are also pretty common on Thursday nights as well.
If you are into pool they have a billiards table that gets frequent use for $1 per game.
Keep in mind that Connor's does not have a full liquor license (limiting their selection of hard alcohol and causing them to close each night at 1AM), but they have a great beer selection ($8 Bud Light pitchers). This is a great place to go grab a drink after class or to start your night but i wouldn't recommend it for an entire night out.
I've been going to Conor Larkin's (or "The Lark" as we call it) since it opened (used to be a place called "Hubbs") back in 2002.
The food is great and the selection of beers is good, bringing in a college-aged clientele (what would you expect from any bar/restaurant basically located in the middle of a college campus).
In any event, I've had countless fun times at the Lark, and I'd recommend it to anyone; they're even our official kick-off bar of the annual Husky Alumni Bar Crawl (<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joerib.com%2Fnu&s=50cb6523314a3d9f5f134a2dfbeaa5a5bda48b56bca323998fc35e440f750a7d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.joerib.com/nu</a>)!
The owners are great guys, and the bar is perfect for a quick bite to eat, a pint before/after class, settling in to watch a game, or pre-gaming before a night out downtown!
The Lady is a very big fan of the Cleveland Browns, and this is the home of the Boston area "Browns Backers". Â All season we've planned to go and check it out, so we finally did when the Steelers played the Browns on December 6th. Â
The good news was that we met up with the other Browns backers at the bar and the Lady got to discuss the finer parts of being from Ohio. Â The bad news was that this was a bar nearby Northeastern on a Thursday night. Â From the moment I walked in last Thursday night I felt like Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon - "I'm getting too old for this shit." Â Seating was every man for himself and all the larger groups pulled extra chairs to their tables, leaving several tables without any chairs. Â We ended up sitting at the bar, which was closer to the game anyway. Â An A.J. Soprano look alike started giving the Cleveland fans trouble, like the trouble he will likely encounter within his own liver later in life. Â I've never seen someone thrown out of a bar for being drunk before 7:30 pm before this night. Â
The food was good and the beer was cheap. Â The cheese fries were the best thing we ordered - large sized order and bonus points for being hand cut. Â One of the bartenders was a little over zealous, constantly coming to our and saying "You good? Â You good?" while making a Hawaiian hang-loose type hand gesture.
Weather permitting we're heading there on Sunday to check out the Browns game. Â The other fans said there is not one other person in the bar other than them on Sundays, so it will likely be a more pleasant experience.
Conor's is ok. Â I like going there because it's close. Â It's full of Northeastern students (which I am one of) since it's right on campus.Good for a night when you don't feel like doing anything too exciting. Â Or it's below zero and you don't feel like walking to Boylston. Â Â Cheap pitchers for $8, and the food is decent. Â They stop serving food at 10:30 and for some reason they close at 1. Â If you get there any later than 12:30 you won't be let in.
Go here if you're close and there's nothing else to do, but otherwise I wouldn't make the trip. Â Once I move away from Northeastern I probably won't return.
Meh! Let me put it this way. I currently live about two minutes from Conors and I have been there twice in the past year. Once, when I was lured under false pretenses of trivia, the second time when it was my friend's birthday.
Two stars for cheap beer and being able to stumble home quickly. Negative three stars for the northeastern athlete/athlete hangers-on crowd-- but if that's how you roll, you'll be in good company. I see them enough in class.
Arguably the best on campus bar at NU, Conors has a couple things going for it. They serve food which is shockingly good, they're happy to put on Northeastern sports in the rare event that a game is televised, and the beer is massively underpriced when compared to the rest of the city.
Sure, you're basically in a tiny basement with low ceilings and, inexplicably, a pool table in the middle of everything, but at least there's nobody from BU, and you can actually play games at the tables without getting harassed.
Service is usually pretty good, although it gets a little slow if the place is full. The bartenders aren't outward jerks, which is nice, but they tend to miss you if you're behind the taps or other patrons. Try jumping up and down to distract them while they're making their 54th SoCo and lime of the night.
Really, all you can ask from a college bar, particularly one so close to central campus. They do, however, close at 1, which can be annoying, but it's also nice that you can drop by between classes for a hamburger and a Bud.
"ZOMG TEH CONORS IS ON ZE NORTHEASTERN CAMPUS AND ITZ FILLED WILL COLLEGE STUDENTS"
(I think that is what Conors was trying to get at)
In a city that lacks cheep beer, the place delivers. As a Northeastern Student I have spent many after exam binges at Conors. My favorite being when 15 of us opened the place after a Concrete Design Exam that we wanted to forget in the worst way. We drank some pitchers of Bud, ate some food, and watch the Sand Lot with the bartenders.
Back to the food. This is seriously underrated. They have great hand cut fires and their grilled chicken sandwich and ruben are my go to dishes on the menu.
Minus one start for a Guinness tap that has a little too much pressure and for the feeling of drinking in someones basement.
Average is as average does, and this is below average even for a college bar.
Conor's is brighter and cleaner than Punters but that's not saying much.
The beer selection is unimpressive and overpriced.
The college clientele is unsavory at best. Â Disenfranchised alumni and obnoxious undergrads. Â If this is your scene, go for it.
2 stars for location.
Maybe I fell in love with the $15 Sam Adams pitcher, or maybe I wasn't in the mood for dressing up and going to a nice place, but I liked it here. It's not fancy by any means... Super college-y, but I liked that, because I haven't had that experience at my school, and I usually go to bars less frequented by people my age. The music was good, and the bartenders were friendly. The bathroom was pretty clean, too. Oh, and for the girls, this place was swarming with guys! It honestly was like a 5:1 guy-to-girl ratio, and it stayed like that pretty much all night. And they weren't gross, "fuck yeah let's get wasted" frat dudes, either-- or maybe they didn't seem it.
I'd give it four stars, but they don't have a full bar. I'm a beer kind of gal, but I also appreciate a full bar. Oh well, at least they have Jager!
Shut up, Conors. Seriously. This place is way too crowded, and I just don't get it. They close at like, 1230, their food isn't any good, and you can't even hear the guy at Trivia. The pool table gets in the way of everything, and the bathrooms are gross.
Now I'm seeing a lot of reviews that say they have good food, so I'll explain why I think they don't (it's actually also a reflection on the service). I was in there on like, a Sunday night with a couple of friends, and I ordered the steak tips with teriyaki (as opposed to the house sauce or something). I tried one of them, and decided that I definitely didn't like the sauce, so I pointed out the mistake to the waitress. She huffed and puffed all the way back to the bar, where they apparently just dumped teriyaki sauce on top of what was already there and dropped it back in front of me. Really?
Oh, also: please explain to me how they get away with their weekly beer pong tournaments. I thought those were illegal in MA...
You don't go to a college bar and then complain about the college kids and cheap beer on Yelp. Â Maybe those complaining should stick to TGI Fridays and Applebees... they have a full bar there.
Conor's is a great basement bar if you're looking for good food and cheap beer. Â The owners are great guys, and I used to be there at least 3-4 times a week when I was an undergrad. Â I can honestly say that their Guinness Burger is the best burger you'll find in the area. Â Thick and juicy, fresh roll, lots of toppings, great fries... classic and tasty. Â Their Chili-Cheese Fries (not on the menu) are very good, and cheap if you're only looking for a snack with a few friends. Â Chris' Chicken Dinner is also a very good option if you're looking for a whole meal of food. Â The veggies are fresh, and match the dish well. Â Their steak tips (and steak tip sub, and steak tip wrap) are either hit or miss (95% of the time, HIT) so I assume they just get bad cuts once in a while. Â Good sized portions.
Drinking - Obviously this is a college bar. Â Don't be 'that guy' and order a bud light bottle. Â Stick to the pitchers. Â They have 6 (?) beers on tap, with a solid selection of bottles (Stella, Sam, Harpoon, Seasonals, etc...) and enough of a bar to take a shot or two (jager, so-co, etc...).
If you're there before the evening rush, avoid Bud Heavy on draught. Â They don't clean the lines consistently, and more than once I've had some funky tasting Bud pitchers... stick with Bud Light if you're drinking light beer on tap.
If you're a non-NU student and don't like it don't come.
If you're Eurotrash and don't enjoy beer don't come.
If you want a bar, that has cheap pitchers of beer, a good juke box, and really good food this is a great place to go and the best NU bar in my opinion. Â I give it 5 stars because it's "As good as it gets" when you are near Northeastern University.
Used to go here all the time as a student and always try to go back when i'm in town for a basketball or hockey game. Â Staff has always been friendly.
Complaints:
Bring back $6 Busch Light pitchers. Â Bud is too high class.
Bring back Rajin Fries (from the old Hubbs)
Given the proximity to Northeastern campus and university apartments you'll find plenty of students here. The place can get pretty crowded so you have to like to stand with little room to do much else than well, stand. It is cheaper nearby places like our house. And when it comes to their food, the waitress always seems to get my order wrong.
Unless you go to Northeastern and really want to go some place right after class or is uber close to your apartment, find a better joint.
Four Stars for the burgers! Â Really, really good. Â The last time I was there, I could not believe how juicy my burger was. Â I ordered it medium, but it was closer to well done (oops), but it didn't matter because somehow it was incredibly juicy. Â I'm not talking about greasy. Â Juicy. Â Like how a burger off your grill is when you've properly seared the outside with some flames to start so the juices are trapped inside while it's cooking. Â Really tasty. Â Okay, I need to stop.
Yeah, it's a college bar...we were surrounded by the rugby team and a sorority last time. Â But whatever...the burgers....
Spent many days here before becoming a legal drinker, throwing down $6 pitchers in rapid succession before they closed at 1 AM. Well, just as I have grown up, so has "Conor's" - as it is refered to by regulars. They decor has been cleaned up, with all sorts of Irish related pictures, as well as the addition of a hardwood floor - they tore up the nasty old carpet.
Only downside - they raised the price of pitchers to $7.
