Editorial Review for The Harp – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Area workers and suburban youngsters head across the street from the Fleet Center to enjoy any one of the Harp's many scenes: quiet lunch spot, popular pre-game watering hole, and raucous late-night dancing destination, just to name a few. Weekend nights usually incorporate a live cover band, while DJs take over the basement dance floor. Lunchtime and early evening crowds sip pints of Guinness and typical pub fare like fish-and-chips.

User Reviews for The Harp

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

My first trip to the Harp was about 10 years ago to see NYC Irish rockers Black47 and have gone back several times over the years to see them there. Over the years I've seen quite a few pubs with live music upstart in a blaze of glory, go into identity crisis mode (when you find the spot it's a rock club, the next time you go it's a Euro bar, etc...) only to then fizzle out with a whimper a couple of years later. I can't say enough about how great it is for this sporadic user to find that what I loved about the place years ago, it's still exactlly the same. Comfortable place, friendly bar service, easy going crowd. Although I'd love to see more Black47 there, it's close enough to home that I may even stop by more often without them.

Pros: un-pretentious, friendly , comfortable

Cons: If game, no parking

Relaxed North Station watering hole by day, rowdy dance spot by night, all with an Irish brogue.  See the full editorial review.
