Came here for a second visit yesterday because we were looking for a fun restaurant in the neighborhood around Aquarium at a reasonable price. Our first visit would have been a 3.5 overall. This visit was in the middle of the afternoon (4pm).
Our first time at this restaurant was a long time ago - about a year. I remembered them having more Irish/Mexican fusion items like Irish Nachos. Seems like they have eliminated most of those items. Also, they have a huge menu for alcohol, but very little selection for non-alcoholic drinks. We were a table of 4 and had 2 burritos, 1 enchilada and 1 fish tacos. My item (fish tacos) were okay, especially considering the price ($9). Service was good - our waitress came by and would refresh our drinks, bring us more salsa, ect. Would be a good place to stop in for cheap alcoholic drinks and simple bar food, but I probably won't come for a full meal again.
After dinner nearby, my friend and I came here late Thursday night. We wanted a place where we could get seats, talk comfortably without being bothered much, and have some good drinks. This fit the bill!
We grabbed some stools in the bar and there were about 3 other people there. One of them was a DJ blasting rap music- it was almost too loud to talk at times, and I wish he had turned it down, especially since none of the 5 people there looked like they wanted to listen to it. We managed to talk anyway, though. We ordered the Original "Corona Mariella Rita". AMAZING. The margarita was strong, and the Corona was a suspiciously tasty addition. I would probably be back just to drink more of these. The male bartender was friendly and nice.
We ordered another drink, and a female bartender made it for us. I ordered one for me and one for my friend that was going to arrive any second. She told me, "I'll need to see her ID before I make it", even though there were literally like, 5 people in the bar, and my friend and I were very clearly nowhere near 21 years old. I didn't understand why she couldn't just make it, and then look at my friend's ID before my friend consumed the drink. If that's the policy, fine, but she was sort of obnoxious about it and then stormed off after saying that. The drink she made was full of sour mix and we couldn't taste any tequila. We had trouble swallowing it because it was so sour, and we passed it person-to-person over the next 30 minutes to try to finish it. The next time the male bartender was nearby, we ordered from him again- and the drinks were glorious again, and he was actually friendly (what a concept!).
The only other annoying thing was that the wait staff all congregated by the side of the bar. The restaurant was empty and there were probably 5-10 waitstaff and bartenders. As a group, they seemed somewhat douchey, and it was a bit distracting to have them there staring at us and gossiping about life.
Overall, I'd be back again on an off-night to consume more of these fabulous margarita Corona concoctions at the bar. If they turned down the rap music by about 25%, didn't let the waitstaff congregate at the bar, and only allowed friendly bartenders with a strong pour, this place would be heaven. However, I'm pretty sure, based off of the area and what I saw, that you do NOT want to go near here on weekends, cause it seems like the crowd and waitstaff would get beyond douchey.
The places isn't really bad that's why i gave 2 out five food was good and the the staff was nice and the dance floor on the second Floor is awesome the main issue there is sanitation the bathrooms got mold on the ceiling and the floor just not a clean place and the toilets are not bolted down right and i heard about mice there i haven't seen any but there are roaches we saw ten of them on 4/ 27/13
Review Source:If you're looking for a fun laid back time then this is the place for you. I always have a good time here. It's nothing special at all that's for sure. Just a bar with a small dance floor. But the music is good and there's decent people there. Not classy at all but a fun dance night place to have fun with the guys and girls
Review Source:I've heard about "Jose Mac's" as a place where people go for a night out in Faneuil Hall. When my best friend chose it as the spot for her birthday night out, I was excited to finally see what it was all about.
First of all, I had to wait in line to get inside, as expected with any bar when you arrive after 10 pm. Then, I bought a beer to wait another half hour just to get upstairs to meet my friends. The lower level was basically empty, just filled with people waiting to get to the next floor. The next floor was filled with sweaty wanna-bes. I can usually make the best of any situation, but this place was just gross.
After I finally was able to find my friends upstairs, the birthday girl was ready to leave. However, the bouncer on the stairs would not let us leave, saying that he needed to "clear the stairs." After a few moments when it became clear thay they were neither letting anyone up the stairs nor letting us leave, I, frustrated, shouted at the bouncer to let us out. He responded by shining his flashlight in my face, so I pushed my way past him (down the empty staircase he had been blocking) until I finally made my way outside.
I can believe that many of these popular spots take time to enter after as certain time, but when a person wishes to leave your establishment, they should be able to leave. Â I could not believe that I was made to feel so trapped in such a well known establishment. I will not be visiting again.
Went on a Tuesday night after work. No wait, not a lot of people in there at all. We got a pitcher of margarita, which was only $20, and gave us 6 margaritas. We also got the buffalo chicken nachos and the seasame wings. All of the food was great. Our waitress was nice too. I like this place for mid week afterwork drinks and good food.
Review Source:A friend mentioned this place to me so I had to give it a try. Irish and Mexican? I couldn't be happier. Cheap eats at great happy hour specials. During my stay in Boston this became a weekly event for me an friends to hit up after work. Yes, Mexican Shepard's Pie, and the Cheeseburger Burrito is a different twist. My absolute favorite there is without a doubt the Irish Nachos.
Review Source:I use to love this place for its cheap miller lite 32 oz pitchers and there 1/2 price apps and happy hour use to go a lot.
They got rid of the 1/2 price apps from 4-7 and now they have roaches and mice I've seen the mice and my friend saw the a mice and roaches on another day. I was also told when I went they have had an exterminator come before oh really? They when and why do you still have the problem? Also you can fix the mice problem but are they trying hard enough? Idk, Plus they waitress didn't comp us on anything not that she had too she did nothing wrong but still it isn't right or fair, we still would of tipped her right. Please don't go here!
As a HUGE fan of your buffalo chicken nachos and your pitches of margaritas, I had the most unpleasant and disappointing experience when I brought co-workers in for a little happy hour action on Monday night.
I've been here enough to expect lackluster service but the hostess/lone waitress on Monday was abominable! She had zero personality and looked put out to have to walk me and my group to the table with our sticky menus (note there were no patrons in the dining room at that point and about 4 people at the bar which were being attended to by the bartender). After sitting us down, she then disappeared for about 15 minutes to flirt with the bartender and had to be flagged over to take our drink order.
We ignored the crappy attitude and began our merrymaking. One of my coworkers had previously declared Jose Mc's "an absolute dump" but was coerced into accompanying us and seemed to be enjoying her margarita.
We were enjoying our drinks and having a good time.. until... a rat, the size of a small house cat, began scampering around the dining room. Over the next 15 minutes, the rat went from table to table, while we (and the booth next to us) shrieked and the waitress neglected to appear. My group confronted the waitress, who was sitting at the bar schmoozing with the bartender and relayed the situation. "There is a rat, the size of a cat, running around the dining room and we'd like to settle up, as soon as possible."
The bored waitress and equally attentive bartender stared back at me blankly and replied, in unison, "ok?" Taken aback by their nonchalant response to this MAJOR healthcode violation, I asked them if this was normal and received some halfass response about how it's been an ongoing problem but it had been "dealt with."
It clearly had not as several other vermin (small mice) crept out of various booths in between this exchange and my group getting the heck out of there.
Listen, I get that rats are the dirty little secret that probably more restaurants than I care to imagine, deal with on a somewhat ongoing basis. I get that restaurants don't exactly book their a team to work Monday night happy hour shifts. But the combination of aloof, bitchy, not my problem there's a ginormous rat in my restaurant, type of attitude and the fact that there is actually a RAT in the dining room, really rubbed me the wrong way. I think our happy hour days at Jose Mc's have come to an end.
Okay....I have been having a craving for tacos (and chips and salsa) recently and thought hey...this is right around the corner from my job so this will be great! Â Boy was I unpleasantly surprised!
First I walk in and it is really nice in there and a bunch of people are sitting at the bar and the bartender doesn't even say "hello" or "welcome to Jose McIntyre's how may I help you". Â I just got a rough..."are you stephenie?" I tell her yes and she hands me my receipt and I pay the bill. Â She hands me my stuff and doesn't even say thank you have a nice day or anything. Â SERIOUSLY????? Â This lady needs some etiquitte classes and STAT! Â Do they even train any type of customer service to the staff there??? Â *Deducts 1 star*
So I leave and I'm walking back to my office and I'm sooooo excited that I'm going to have the crunchy taco that I've been waiting for! Â YES!!!! Â Get to my office and you get three pretty small tacos which that's okay. Â A side of rice that is laughable...I'm gonna post a picture of it. Â They should have just left out the rice because if you can't provide at least a half of cup of rice with this meal then don't even tease people. Â And on top of that the rice wasn't even that great because even I couldn't even eat it. Â Then the ground beef in the taco was not even seasoned??? Â WOW REALLY???? Â They couldn't have gone to Stop & Shop and bought a couple of packages of taco seasoning to go in there? Â I was really disappointed and couldn't even stomach eating all three of the tacos. Â *Deducts 3 stars (one for each taco)*
Now the chips and salsa are pretty good and that is what saved this review because if I could have given this place a zero...I would have. Â So that's why my rating is one star. Â
I will only go here for chips and salsa if I want it bad enough...but I don't see myself going here anytime in the near future. Â Well.....maybe if someone paid me to then I might consider it.
Jose Mac's is a run of the mill Faneuil Hall bar that is on the cheaper side of the spectrum. On the bright side they have personal pitchers are pretty clutch and very inexpensive however they only have a few of them so it is a constant struggle to find empty ones to use. If you happen to find an empty one make sure to grab it with a tight kung-foo grip and never let go...EVER.
I would say leave this place as your last option to Faneuil Hall as you can find many better bars in the area. Downstairs is a good place to chill but upstairs is a sweatbox of iffy-21 year olds from the suburbs that are absolutely not worth your while.
I'm so not a fan. Â The crowd is the young, college type (no surprise, given the location). Â Lots of drunk dancing and spilled drinks. Â Usually very crowded. Â The typical $5 cover is usually in play, and this place is not worth any type of cover. Â
One time, someone I was with ordered food, but I didn't try it, so I can't speak to that. Â Drinks are actually decent - mine was strong, so that was appreciate. Â But I say skip.
So before I ever knew I was coming to Boston, I wanted to come here, since this joint was named after Joey McIntyre (80's kids - you hear me?). Â
We stopped in for a shot of tequila ($10 a pop!!! - holy shit), a beer and to watch some Olympics coverage; no food though. Â
Typical bar - nothing special.
Nothing special. Went there for dinner on a Monday night and the service was terrible. I know Mondays are usually not busy so they probably had their new guy on, but it was appalling how long it took to get a glass of water. (I'm equal parts understanding and very harsh with servers since I am one and I know how long things should take).
The food was mediocre. I guess I shouldn't have expected much since it is basically a pub, but with the Irish-Mexican theme, I expected something original and tasty, but not so much.
There was an awesome beer deal but the margaritas were small and over-priced. Cool location between the financial district and the harbor, but there are a lot better places in the same area. Not worth it, in my opinion.
I've also gone to this place and walked out with an empty wallet. Â Usually a good place for dancing upstairs while getting hammered. Â Bathrooms look like someone walked in to do some remodeling and left halfway thru. Â Although I've never gone to this place and regretted it. Â Place is usually crawling with college girls dancing and guys spitting game at them. Â I'm not kidding. Â The upstairs is the place to be if you plan on going here. Â Downstairs kind of sucks and doesn't look right with the rest of the place.
There's a hidden bar around the corner on the first floor. Â Although, I'm not a fan of asking for a White Russian and having the bartender explain to me he has none of the ingredient for one of those, except for the vodka. Â Thanks guy.
This is exactly the kind of place I love. It is one of those place you love to get intoxicated at and hang out with young college girls. Â The type of place where the girl you talking to at the bar is related to the old man next her and the bartender. Â
"People making out, d-bags everywhere, girls wearing things that are clearly too small for them." Â It does smells like pee, puke and cheap purfume. Â It is like a high school party, but everyone is 5 years older.
Upstairs is full of tension which usually ends up with a bunch of people grinding on each other or fights. Â You have to love Jose Mac's for what it is and what it doesn't pretend to be.
Many great college memories were made here... my BFF from England spinning around one of my American BFFs on the dance floor 'til she puked, grinding up against random dudes, getting busted in the boys toilets (that actually happened only a month ago).
I LOVED Jose Macs when I was in college. I also loved Jose Macs last night when some frat boys started hitting on me because they thought I was still in college (I've been out for 10 years).
In short, Jose Macs is a great night out for college kids, and for those who want to pretend they're still in college (i.e. me). Cheap drinks, loud music, and lots of people to thrust up against on the dancefloor. What more could a bright eyed bushy tailed 21 year old want? If you want to have a conversation, this probably isn't the place to spend your Friday or Saturday night. But if you want to get tipsy, dance, and make out with a stranger, you've found your spiritual home.
Pros: Cheap food, cheap beer, decent location, decent service.
Cons: Average food, small beer selection, and weird "ambiance".
If a college sports bar, Mexican restaurant, and dance club had a baby, it would be this place. Â The "bouncers" can be a bit weird as well.
I'm always up for going here for a few pre-party beers, but it's never my final destination.
I'm THAT girl, in the nice dress, awkwardly holding a crappy beer, wondering...why did I end up here? Who talked me into this?
There is a very good reason why it took me 3 years of living in Boston to even begin to go out of Faneuil Hall Area. I've so far been twice, and each time I leave wondering why I even tried. Why! Oh Why! Oh Why!
Basically, if you can look past the douche-y guys, the incredibly sticky pee smelling floor and the people making out in the corner, this may be your place.
How did a place like Jose's even win two stars in my book? Well, two things, one, NO cover on a Saturday night. (If they did I would really wonder!) And secondly...
Ja Rule "Always On Time" and Snoop Dogg "Gin and Juice" circa 2001-2002 came on WITH the music videos. Really, WHERE else could you hear those beats? We all went crazy and danced to awesome throwbacks while ignoring our horrible environment. Maybe you should try and dance with your eyes closed.
Been here a lot. Had a portion of my job interview that eventually brought me to Boston here at Jose's. My boss and coworkers want to go here every day. And really, I'm cool with that.
If you know Mexican food and are looking for Mexican food because the Jose of Jose McIntyre's sounds Mexican-foodish, you might be disappointed.
On the other hand, if you like the thought of Mexican food and don't mind a somewhat bastardized rendition of the classics and don't balk at the thought of burgers, fries, sandwiches and wraps being prepared along side your burrito or chimichanga, then this is the place for you.
I think I basically just described Chili's. Yeah, I think that's pretty much what Jose's is like. So there you go, it's like an Irish owned Chili's...but kinda better I guess.
I love Jose's! Though it can be hit or miss it terms of action. Some nights it's empty, but most of the time it's packed (though never overcrowded!). Usually on busy nights there's a $5 cover, but not always. Either way, it's a great place to go with a big group of friends.
It's a huge bar, there's 2 floors: I never usually hang on the first floor, but I think it plays your typical top-40 bar music. There's a good amount of seating, and it's wicked easy to get a drink. The top floor is amazing. It's separated into 2 rooms. The room to the right side has a good size bar with some stools, and cushioned couches lining the walls. Yes, sometimes you'll see some not-so-classy folk humping each other on those couches, but it's all in good fun =P
The room to the left is the main reason I love this place. It's a giant hardwood dance floor, and there's usually a sick live DJ who plays everything you wanna hear--from old school hip-hop/dance (including salt n peppa! I mean come on! Yes!) to top-40 to deadmau5. I love it.
So if you're with a big crew, some of which love to dance but don't feel like hitting the "clubs," and some of which just like to chill at the bar, then this is the perfect place! Enjoy.
*3.5 Stars*
Jose's is always a fun time. it is very similar to their sister locations (Purple Shamrock. Hurricane O'Reilly's) in terms of price, drinks, and menu. I find the crowd here to be a little more trashy but it is still a fun time. Sometimes it gets a little crowded, when this happens they wil cut the flow from the upstairs to downstairs. The staff here is very friendly!
I went here Saturday Night for a friend's fundraising party. Â We had the entire left room to ourselves. (My friend also said they were very friendly,easy to book a room with, and there was no deposit necessary). Â The food was delicious, we had chicken fingers with honey mustard sauce, sweet potato fries, fried jalapenos, nachos, and southwest spring rolls which were the best. Â There were so many salsas and sour creams to dip it all in.
The music started to play a little louder around 9:30. Â The DJ is upstairs and he doesn't look quite like a typical DJ, but he is pretty hip and played all the new Top 40 songs. Â He took request as well. Â I left early, but I'm sure everything go even more lively. Â I really like that this place is so spacious, besides the room we had at the farthest left of the building, there was a central room for dining and upstairs there was a side room for the bar and a large dance floor. It might get cramped later on, but this place is great o start the night off.
Usually when my friends invite me to a bar in the North End I cringe and suggest somewhere else, but I have to say this place wasn't that bad. Â The beer selection was little more than Budweiser and Coors Light and the music consisted of bass driven pop remixes, but the crowd was actually pretty fun! Â It was the first time I went to a bar in the North End where I wasn't lost in a sea of blow-outs and bad cologne. Â I would actually consider going back to this place.
The inside had a sort of cozy pub feel with antique looking wood floors and exposed brick walls. Â The upstairs also had a nice open floor plan for easy mingling and a large bar section with attentive bartenders. Â I should probably stop being so skeptic about this place and just say it was a good time.
Jose Macs is as close to hell you can get on earth... and if you dont like it "FUCK YOU*" Â they will just kick you out... just shut up and enjoy whatever bullshit they feed you... its like prison rape, complaining won't do any good, Â just sob to yourself and wait for it to be over.....
*actual quote from both bartender and "manager"
Jose's is kind of like....that cool older guy you dated when you were 16 who you and all your friends thought was awesome but your older sister knows he's a sleaze and tells you not to hang out with him, but you get all dressed up in your Wet Seal finest and slap on some cherry lipsmacker anyway and wait for him to come pick you up in his Honda Accord with the windows smoked out. Only he never shows and you feel like a fool.
I get this exact feeling every time I go to Jose's, all dressed up with nothing to do. I somehow end up here everytime I'm in Fanueil, at least for 30 minutes or more. It's usually kind of empty, save for the boyfriends who were dragged along on 'girls night' and the spiky haired creepahs waiting to grind on you on the dance floor. I'll save my dollars and take my Wet Seal outfit somewhere else for more action and a bathroom that ISN'T consistently flooded.
Bonus though, bartenders are very cool, especially Dan with the dark hair. Love that dude.
(Only reviewed the bar)
Remember the girl from high school who wasn't sure if she wanted to go to cosmetology school or go to Cornell...but then just ended up living with her parents for 6 years while she parties every night? She's in the middle of the dance floor grinding on camera. Â Oh yeah - that guy you know...the one who watches International Fight League before breakfast and was going to be an phenomenon in the kickboxing world before he sprained his wrist bagging groceries...he's over at the bar talking to his buddy who just got another tattoo of his favorite dirt bike manufacturer.
I mean it's not necessarily a terrible place - and I'm probably being harsh on judging the crowd.... It is what you make of it. You can let the crowd bother you, or just rock out after a few brews and put a smile on your face while sweaty people slosh alcohol on your feet. I did swipe a roll of TP from the guys bathroom and our group of girls passed it around all night (the bathrooms get serviced annually).
The dress code actually worked in my favor. I was informed (after a softball game at 10pm on a Friday) that our group was gathering there for a birthday....it's probably the only place in downtown where I could have gotten in wearing a sweaty t shirt, athletic shorts, and flipflops....and actually fit in.
We did see a pretty good fight on the street after closing hours..2 big guys doing slow-mo punches.....the cops pounced on them in about 45 seconds....must be a common occurrence.
I guess you do need a place like this to maintain order in downtown's universe of superficialness. The equation is balanced.
#6 on my "Top Ten Places to Loot and Burn in Boston When the Revolution Comes".
It doesn't get much worse than Jose Mac's, but I suppose you could really find a shittier pub if you tried. So damn crowded. Such an awful space for a club. The dance floor is packed with 750 of your closest friends, all looking to get shit faced, laid, or both. And if that doesn't work, it's always fun to puke in the alley afterward. Before I swore off JM's forever, I must have seen 30 stupid fights here, frat boys with too much beer in them taking swings for no reason. The pools tables suck, the music is worse, the bathrooms are indescribably vile. The only redeeming feature is the booze, lots of it, and mixed by decent bartenders who seem to (slightly) give a shit. Â
Maybe the place is nicer during daylight. I wouldn't know and somehow I doubt it.
Yeah, no thanks. Â I went once for a date and it was cavernous and empty on one side of the bar and cozy - but still empty - on the other. Â The music was so loud I couldn't hear a word my date was saying (umm, there's no one here, why so loud??). Â
A friend of mine and I went back out of desperation on St. Patrick's Day to see if we could find a bar WITHOUT a $40 cover. Â Yep, not here. Â NEVER will I go to the Fanueil Hall area on St. Patty's again (silly newbie mistake). Â We probably would have had a crap time and paid some absurd amount of money, but we bailed and paid 10 bucks in Southie instead and had a fantastic time.
NO NKOTB?
Nope
Just a bunch of punk ass kids wanting to fight or have sex with each other all while the best of 108 is being played. NOT my scene.
One of the places you have to go to once or you have already been to because you grew up around here.
I only went because I thought it was JOEY McIntyre's and I Â heart NKOTB 4-EVA!
No Joey.....No Donnie........Jordan, Danny OR John.........sigh......I did get my ass grabbed twice so it makes up for it.
***3.5 STARS***
OK, there are 2 things going on here:
1) I actually kind of hate this place
2)I pretty much go here every time I go out in Fanuiel Hall
The food is actually really good and really cheap and will give you a heart attack, but that's okay, you're out drinking anyway. Â The nachos are superb, at least 4 star Michelin. Â The burgers and salads are good, too.
The bartenders are also really nice and I like the big blue margarita in the massive fishbowl-y thing.
NEVER go upstairs to the "dance floor." Â Think the sketchy people downstairs grinding all up on each other. Â You'll hurl your nachos.
Uh, Jose's? Â Thank-you for gaining the dubious destinction of being the only bar I've ever been kicked out of. Â That I remember anyways. Â Why? Not really sure, I think I was slurring my speach at hte bar. I tried to expalin it was because I had had some dental work done earlier that day (and it had nothing to do with the fact that this was hte last stop on an all day pub crawl, I swear) but they weren't buying it. Â So I was escorted out, and sent on my merry way! Â Thanks for the memories!
That aside, this is a great High School hang out- bring your fake id's and start boozing it up. Â That's hte only time I frequented this place! :)
I mean come  on, an Irish Mexican Bar?  Who doesn't like that bizzare combo.  Oh wait, you don't , OK,, me niether.
Things Not to do When You Become a "Grownup" .
1. Wait on line for more than 2 minutes to go to a bar. Unless the drinks have diamonds at the bottom of every glass.
2. Wait on line behind tourists, under 21's, entry level employees and people who are there to bump into you and spill your drink.
3. Listen or care about "rules" at a bar. Like, no buying more than one drink unless they can see who you are buying it for  or "You can't stand there."
4. You don't go anywhere where you can't sit if you want to or move if you want, or order a drink if you want to. Why the crowd? There aren't any other Mexican Irish bars in Boston? No Julio McTavish's? No Jesus O'Malley's? How about Patrick Rodriguez'z?
God I hope Not.
You really only want to go here if you are in a particular mood. My friends and I usually end up here once every 4 or 5 months when we've decided to go "cheesy dancing". Â The DJ plays basically whatever is popular at the time on KISS or JAM'N with a few stereotypical "house" tracks thrown in.
The drinks are fairly priced, and though I haven't been in a while, every so often they have $1 margaritas or $1 whatever-generic-beer. Â If you attempt to go to the first bar in the front, good luck, you'll be waiting for anywhere up to 30 minutes. Â When I go there I bee line for the bar in the very back room, Â usually in the beginning of the night few people know its back there and you can get right up to the bar.
Downfalls of going there? They use coffee grounds to cover puke/overflowing toilets. I'm not sure who came up with this solution, but it DOES NOT work. Â I was there one night when there must've been a veritable puke fest going on, and walked out with a wet coffee ground sludge type of thing going on with the bottom of my pants. Oh, and of course there are the token dumb sluts and the morons who chase them, but if you go with a big enough group you can always push them out of the way on the dance floor and make it yours.
Prior to this Thanksgiving, the few times I had been to Jose Mac's turned into disaster - too crowded, meh music, grimey feel/smell, and typical FH crowd. Â So I was none too excited to go here on Wed night.
I have to say I was surprised - not that Jose's has turned into some swanky establishment (it has not, no way), but that the atmosphere was much more bearable and conducive to fun. Â I think they expanded the first floor b/c I don't remember there being a bar towards the left side past the dance floor. Either way, this area definitely helped people to spread out....although the upstairs bar area was as cramped as ever and there was a constant line right by the front door (nice planning) to get up there. Â
Anyway, my group stayed in the dance area of the first floor and actually had a good time. Â The music is loud top 40 so it is very danceworthy. There was no cover, and no one stole our coats.
Who knew shuffleboard wasn't just for old people on cruise ships?There's a smaller version of this upstairs at this bar/restaurant that my friends seemed to enjoy playing.
Bad margaritas for a place with "Jose's" in the name. Friendly and efficient bartenders. Very eclectic music, at least upstairs where I was.
I always used to go to Jose's after work, and tried my best to get the hell out of there before the pick-up bar scene showed up, so it was nice enough (read: closest bar to work) for a few drinks with coworkers before hopping on the train home. Occasional appetizer specials make for cheap eats - they put shredded cabbage on the nachos; get it? it's Irish-Mexican! Ouch.
Bonus tip: If you and the waitstaff both see the same mouse as it scampers through the dining room, you don't even have to ask for the complimentary round of drinks - they'll just bring it right out.
I'm not quite sure who came up with the idea for a Mexican/Irish blend, or why, as I couldn't spot anything particularly Mexican or Irish about this place.
I like the fact that they have pool tables as well as my favourite bar sport: shuffleboard. But foreigners beware: you will not get in here without a passport. When there are so many other good places to go to in Boston, why bother with the hassle?
