Editorial Review for Purple Shamrock – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
When the weekend comes, the Purple Shamrock is inundated by college students and bold, young invaders from the suburbs. The bar features live rock and pop music on Friday and Saturday nights, and there's usually a small cover charge. DJs and karaoke (schedules vary) round out the Shamrock's entertainment offerings. The food menu caters to tourists (clam chowder, lobster) and includes the standard sandwiches and apps. Beer aficionados have a dozen-plus taps to choose from.

After walking the Freedom Trail my lady and I looked around for something to eat. We liked what they had on the menu so we decided to try it. It was about 8 or 9 pm and the place was not crowded. There may have been five 6 tables and 5 staff. There was no wait and we were immediately seated. It took a while for them to come and take our order but that was no biggie. Our server, whose name I forget now, took our order and...that's it. He disappeared. We did not see him again until the check. The manager took over while our server was "busy" with other tables. Tables he did not have when we first arrived. For some reason he just stopped serving us...and the manager filled in but it was too late by then. After being ignored for the whole night by a server i could see working the rest of the room got me very angry. The service was horrible, the food marginal, and i did not feel welcome. Being that we were the only black couple in there I can only attribute this to race.
Cons: Seems to be a color issue.
