McGreevy's is the Best Bar in Boston!
by tikipunx at Citysearch
So I've been to McGreevy's about a half dozen times, and I have to say it's the best bar in Boston! Number one the Red Sox memorabilia is amazing, and I'm not a huge sports buff. The walls are saturated with some serious Red Sox history, and when I say history I'm not talking a wall full of team photos from day one to 2008. It covers the history of...ahh heck I could go for ever. Trust me if your a sports fan it's a must see just for that alone. Now if you add the food, drink, and service...I hate to sound cliche, but it's a home run. I've had the sheppards pie, chicken sandwich, and potato skins. I'm originally from Chicago and love my food, and McGreevy's is top notch. They've got a great beer selection from Guiness to Pabst which is another score in my book. I personally am a PBR/Schlitz kind of guy that has a fridge full of Guiness at home. (Try to figure that out!) The staff is also great! I have to say the waitresses that waited on our table were on it and made us feel like we've been coming in for years even though it's only been open (in that location) since April. I also have to say I have seen a celebrity or two in there just about everytime I've gone in, and the cool thing about it was that it was like hanging out at my local tavern. It's definitely the coolest bar in Boston without a bunch of scenesters running around. Oh yea, the music selection is pretty good. It's a mixture of all types of rock and roll with a little spice of punk rock. I suggest if you have not been, or plan on traveling to Boston you must go to McGreevy's.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Food, Personality, Location, Easy MBTA access.

Nice change from other sports bars
by bigtyler1 at Citysearch
Mcgreevys did a great job in bringing an old time baseball/sports tavern to the Back Bay. They have the perfect set up if you have a big group of people to watch a ball game. I watched all of the Laker-Celtics games there with all my friends and even when people were in front of you while sitting in one of their many high rise booths, you could still see the game. It is much classier and a better atmosphere than its predecessor the Foggy Goggle. Also a nice substitute from the other dive sports down the street. The place is decorated to look like the Baseball Hall of Fame, Boston style. Also who knows you may get lucky and run into the owner Ken Casey from the Dropkick Murphys.
- Pros: Great atmosphere and food
- Cons: a little pricey but worth the experience for a big game night

Extremely Overpriced
by Lindsay424 at Citysearch
I came here with a group of friends for a birthday, the place wasn't too crowded - now I know why. The drinks are very overpriced, it is impossible to get anywhere close to the bar, terrible layout. I went to order a few shots, they ended up being $7 each and were half sized. Seemingly cool atmosphere but not worth the price one bit.
- Pros: Location, Wall Art
- Cons: Price!
