We were very pleased.
We were in Boston on the 4th of July whilst our ship was docked. We only had a few hours for a quick tour and we ended up at Quincy market--lovely place! We were hot & tired & in need of a rest &
food, so we stopped at Ned Devine's. We had a Cubano sandwich was was absolutely brilliant! And our waitress was so sweet. She saw that we had an empty water bottle with us & offered to fill it up before we left.
We're old folks & believe you get what you give. Maybe she was nice to us because we were polite to her. Regardless, it was a wonderful stop on an exciting day.…
Biggest place in Gov't Center. Ned Devine is probably the biggest bar/club in Gov't Center and gets pretty popular on the weekends. Though I don't really know what the deal with the music is, one time they had on a live rock band and one other time they played hip-hop dance music. I dont see them listed with the InstantNightlife website which is a shame... that way at least you could check what music is playing before heading out.…
college crowd, loud, hot and noisy. i've been here several times and it seems to get worse each time! the crowd is younger, and as a result obnoxious and annoying. you will always have to pay a cover - $10 - which is ridiculous to me. the drinks are tiny and in little plastic cups. you'll wait forever to check your coat, and if you get there later, you'll wait forever to even get inside. they have live music which can be mediocre. if you like dressing up and meeting professional, good looking people - ned devine's is NOT the place to go.…
Do Not Go Here, Go Elsewhere. This place loves to hire the rudest, most illiterate people. It's always a disappointing time and you're always treated like you've done something wrong whenever you approach the staff. Even just asking where the bathrooms are yields crass, curt answers. Here's one brief example for you - As I was nearing the bar, a belligerent girl (who looked underage) cut me off to stand at an open spot at the bar. I joked with her that she owed me a drink for cutting me. She turned around and yelled "I work here, I can do whatever I want!" Aside from the fact that being an employee she should never get in the way of paying customers, she then proceeded to engage in conversation with another employee, completely ignoring me and blocking me from the bar. As I tried to go by her to order my drink, she yelled "What's your problem? Just tell me what you want and I'll have the bartender get it for you." Still not understanding the need for the hostility, I told her the drink I wanted because she asked me. The bartender gave her the drink and she told him it was for me. The bartender proceeded to yell at me, saying that I must be too good to wait in line for a drink like everyone else and instead ask employees to order drinks for me. As I tried to explain how that was not the case at all (and that I had actually waited longer than everyone else), a bouncer came up from behind me and told me to take my drink and get lost. For the record, this was my second drink, so I was not drunk and this story is not exaggerated. What a horrible bar. Why pay exorbitant amounts of money at a place that always makes you feel like a low-life? It is a horrible establishment that does not deserve one penny of your hard-earned money.…
Faneuil Hall Irish bar serves straightforward pub fare and a solid beer selection, both indoors and outdoors..
In Short
In a part of town that's chock full of stuffy Irish bars, Ned Devine's stands out because of its sunny sidewalk patio. The interior's quaint, rustic touches--exposed brick walls,
dark wood furniture and wrought iron railings--yield a designer tavern atmosphere. Tourists and college students sample from the bar's varied selection of draught beers, and those looking to nosh enjoy hearty pub fare like Guinness beef stew and fish-and-chips.…
