What People Are Saying About Emmet's Pub and Restaurant

The Scene – Hidden away on a quiet stretch of Beacon Street, just off Beacon Hill, this Irish bar and restaurant exists just off the periphery of the city's social scene. In other words, you'll rarely have to fight for a seat at the bar or in the front and back seating areas. Emmet's does its best business during happy hour, when government workers (the State House is steps away) stop in with colleagues for a pint. – – The Draw – Due to its relative obscurity, this is a good place to come with friends and have a chat over some drinks and respectable bar food.

i met up with a bunch of friends on a friday night after work in the summer. we ordered a bunch of apps but i will still a little hungry and wanted a ceasar salad. they had a shrimp special and i asked if i could have a few pieces of shrimp on my salad for a few extra bucks and they said no. i didnt think it was that outrageous of a request but apparently it was a big deal. i didnt order anything else b/c i thought we were leaving. about an hour later we were still there and i was still hungry, so i ordered a veggie burger. 45 minutes after that, i hadn't gotten it and when i asked about it, the waitress said she forgot to put in the order. oops. anyways, we asked for the bill (which was about $300 for our group) and she didnt offer to comp anything for the forgotten veggie burger. it just seemed that since we spent so much on food and drinks they could have made up for the burger. oh well. it's the little things like that that let you know what kind of business it is. probably won't go back again.
- Pros: good location, not that crowded
- Cons: bad service, food was just ok

Just down the street from the State House, easy waslking distance from the Common, this place is a standard Irish Pub, but with more than the standard fare! Beer selection was decent, and prices good for the city. Menu had all the Irish basics--fish n chips, clam chowder etc. (which btw was very good!) plus several burger choices, and buffalo chicken nachos!!! They were extremely good, and extremely spicy! If I ordered them again, i'd ask for less sauce on the nachos, and to bring it on the side instead b/c the bottom was completely drenched. The majority of the waitstaff were Irish in birth and accent, which of course automatically makes for good pub atmosphere in Boston! I would certainly go back here again!
- Pros: Atmosphere, location, and food
- Cons: The draft by the door
The Details on Emmet's Pub and Restaurant
When to Go:
Avoid the rowdy atmosphere of most sports bars to catch a game at Emmet's. With plenty of seating and a big screen TV in back, sports fans won't have to stand on chairs to see through a crowd.
