The Scene – This single-room bar and restaurant does its best business on weekdays just after people finish working in the nearby Financial District. Even though bustling Quincy Market (and its plethora of bars/clubs) is just a few blocks away, weekends here are particularly quiet. The action heats up on Thursday and Friday evenings when tables are pushed aside and a DJ spins contemporary dance tunes. – – The Draw – Like most Irish-tinged bars in the area, patrons can choose from a decent selection of draught beers, as well as a fully stocked bar and a menu of standard…
Editor's Tips
- Look Good:
- The "No Yankee hats" rule, posted prominently above the bar, is indeed enforced--especially during Sox-Yanks games. Wear at your own risk.

Best Dive Bar!
by Kurtious at Citysearch
Ok let's be serious. I have been reading all these reviews on this place and the only people who really get it are the people on Citysearch. All these losers on Yelp complaing about a dive bar. What do you really expect?! "Oh weh weh weh, the music is too loud, my drink is too small, its only 10 oz miller lite." Please, get with the program people.
Let's start with the basics. I really only order one thing here which is beer. They have $1 Miller Lite Drafts and now for Summer 2k10 they got $2 Bud Lite bottles. Um hello? They also have great steak tips, a great reuben and good fries. I mean what more could a guy possibly ask for. Oh wait, how about bags?
Bags, cornhole, whatever you call it. But every Sunday my buddies and I from the restaurant get together and head down to An Tains for some good ol' bags baby! Just yesterday they had a bags tournament sponsored by Naragansatt and the winner gets a case a month for a year. That rules!
So to all the haters out there, get a life or get a beer...or two... Now go back to your yuppie bars and dress codes because we don't want you!
- Pros: $1 Miller Lite Drafts, $2 BL Bottles, Bags!
- Cons: Bathroom
Sunday Bloody Sunday
by TomOtoole at Citysearch
No better way to kick start the work week by having 4-7 Bloody Marys, which is their signature drink, on Sunday morning, all before 11:30 AM.
Great atmosphere, tons of talent walking by outside, and a great place to take the kids after church.
See you there, GO SOX
- Pros: The bar tenders are really, really, really hot
- Cons: There are a lot of Micks there
can we talk about how hot julia is...

One Stop Shopping
by thelender at Citysearch
Where do I begin...great tasting food, a plethora of adult beverages, staff cannot be beat, and the entertainment at night is so much fun. Friday & Saturday nights, they have DJ's Dave Natola and Sean OToole, etal. They play the BEST dance music - everything you asked them. From - lost 45's, old skool, & todays biggest dance charts, etc. Family owned, there's never a problem in there. Which if you've been in Faneuil Hall clubs, is a rarity. Everybody knows everybody. The bartenders are lightning quick & knowledgeable. Let's talk about the, girls & the guys, on the dance floor, or just sitting at the bar. There are plenty to choose from, and also a great date place too, you don't even need to dress up that much ( smart casual works ). I will make this place a destination spot going forward. I even asked to have an event there, they'll accomodate that too. Obviously I recommend this place to anyone...easy to get to as well.
- Pros: Immediately you tell all your friends about it.
- Cons: 2 am comes way too quick !
