Dooley's

Best. Guinness. In. Boston. Period.

This is the quintessential Boston Irish Pub. Great Beer, with amazing draft pours, live Irish jam sessions make it feel like a party you were intimately invited to, and traditional and delicious irish fair (the beef stew/shepherd pie/fish and chips-all amazing).

A bartender at another famous Boston bar (I won't divulge where) actually recommended this bar to my husband and I as the best in Boston...so yeah...if other bartenders say it is the best that means it IS the best.

Lovely. Liked it so much the first time, we went back two nights later.  Good food, cozy, friendly.

This was our first stop on our first night in Boston.  What a great pub, exactly what I expected for an old Irish Pub.  Was pleasantly surprised with the meal, I think it was a few steps up from typical pub food.  We had the lobster mac & cheese that was so tasty & the fish & chips was the best I've ever had, huge portion & not greasy.  We a few drinks with our meal while enjoying some live Irish music.  The wait staff was great & I can't wait to return the next time I find myself in Boston!
