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…

Excellent Brunch & Pizza

by HSP11 at Citysearch

The brunch and pizza are excellent and the beer selection is good. I would definitely recommend the eggs bellange, which is eggs benedict with hash instead of ham or Canadian bacon. I used to go to Doyle's all the time but have stopped going as often because the service is consistently terrible. The servers are slow, even when the place is not crowded. It can be tough to get a refill on water or order another beer.

  • Pros: Good food
  • Cons: Terrible, slow service
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great Head and Bread

by reh9989 at Citysearch

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

  • Pros: The Guinness was the best ever.
  • Cons: Should be more Pubs

Highly Recommend a Visit

by pubcritic1 at Citysearch

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.

  • Pros: everything
