The Scene
Doyle's attracts an unusually diverse and friendly clientele, from neighborhood regulars to political buffs. Photographs and newspaper clippings on the walls provide a surprisingly good lesson in Boston's political history; every mayor since Honey Fitz has dined (and glad-handed) here.
The Food
Stick-to-your-ribs offerings like thick and creamy clam chowder. The burger is a monster; choose among beef, turkey or vegetable. Try the boneless prime rib with superb mashed potatoes. There's also the famous corned beef and cabbage, served every Thursday and on St. Patrick's Day (if you can get in the door). Wash it all down with Irish whiskey or pick a brew from Doyle's large selection of Irish and non-Irish beers. The kitchen makes all its own desserts except for the cheesecake, baked by a relative of the owners.

The Guinness was the best I have ever had in the States. If my eyes were closed I would swear I was in Ireland. The most perfect pour and the best tasting. Glad to see you all know how to clean your lines. The French Dip was very good and excellent for the price. The meat was moist and full of flavor. The bread was fresh also. The bartender and staff went out of their way to make one feel at home. I will be back. GUINES

Doyles has one of the best brunches in town-- especially tasty corn beef hash! Great prices, but the cash-only policy can be a bit of a pain. Staff is friendly and attentive.

I am from New Hampshire visiting the Boston Area and was urged by my colleagues to visit the esteemed Irish Pub in J.P. With the tin ceilings, oak bar, and political memorabilia hanging on the walls it easy to see that Doyle?s is ingrained in its Irish heritage yet very much attuned to today?s popular culture. When I visited, a local Frisbee team was having dinner after a game and people were gathered around the bar watching the Red Sox game. The lively atmosphere, service, food, and tap selection exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend a visit to Jamaica Plains Doyle?s Cafe.
