What People Are Saying About Green Dragon Tavern

The Scene
The original location of this popular Irish pub once served as a meeting place during the American Revolution; it's since relocated to a cozy side street off Faneuil Hall. Creaky floors, brass rails and dark wood paneling, softened by toile curtains and cushions, bring to mind a bar decorated by your grandmother. No matter how packed the tavern becomes, the staff remains friendly and polite.
The Draw
The Green Dragon is a step above most nearby Irish pubs, avoiding the pickup-joint vibe of other establishments in favor of a relaxed, comfortable environment perfect for sharing a pint with friends. A steady after-work crowd dines on Irish favorites like shepherd's pie and beef stew in the early evening hours, while the usual mixed bag of Faneuil Hall revelers rolls in after dark. The beer selection boasts a whopping 35 labels to choose from.

Very cool Irish pub. The location is great, right near Fanieul Hall. They have professional bartenders that are very good. Highly recommended.

I've been a couple times, once Monday for lunch, and once Friday for drinks. For lunch the food was good, not great, but the service was helpful. On Friday they were charging way too much for a mediocore band and the service was poor at best. There are Irish places, places with more histroy historiy, and bars with better music.
