What People Are Saying About Mr Dooley's Boston Tavern
Featured Review

The Scene – Mr. Dooley's sports the same lived-in feeling as a favorite pair of beat-up shoes. Down to the floorboards, the pub shows its age, but the tattered vibe is comfortable rather than disturbing. Portraits of notable Irishmen (including Mr. Dooley) peer down from dark green walls, onto patrons crammed into tiny tables and high-backed wooden booths. The mostly Irish staff greets customers warmly. – – The Draw – This cozy, triangle-shaped tavern's atmosphere is unmatched by larger Irish pubs in the vicinity. A lack of gimmicks--and the absence of the seedy…

- Save Money:
- There's no cover before 9pm, and you're more likely to score a good table to hear the band.

A Great Place To Chill
by petergv at Citysearch
With good pub food, a relaxed and friendly vibe, and great waitstaff and bartenders Mr. Dooley's is a great place for an after-work pint, a chat with friends, or a late-nite bite.
A particular treat is traditional Irish seisiún, which is presently held from 4-7 on Sundays.
While the place can get crowded at times, and there's live music on weekends, this isn't a packed, noisy, "do you come here often", boozy kind of place -- Rather, it's more like an authentic local pub in Ireland.
Definitely recommended.

One of the best in an Irish town
by greg at Citysearch
r. Dooley's is probably the best Irish pub in town. The Guinness pour is strong and the lunch and dinner menus dont disappoint. This is the kind of bar you go to relax with some friends and a drink, so dont expect your usual sardine can, loud Irish pub. Moreover, the live music makes Mr. Dooley's feel authentic. A good watering hole during lunchtime or happy hour.
