Editorial Review for AN TAIN – by Citysearch Staff
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 bar foods (think burgers and nachos). Prices are reasonable across the board. Colorfully named house drinks include the "Green Cape Codder" (Smirnoff Sour Apple Twist and cranberry juice) and the "One Legged Duck" (Bacardi Limon, cranberry juice, and soda water).

Insider Tips
Look GoodThe "No Yankee hats" rule, posted prominently above the bar, is indeed enforced--especially during Sox-Yanks games. Wear at your own risk.

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 !
