    My favorite Irish pub in Boston! Great value for money, good food, quaint ambiance. A group near us was exceptionally loud, which can happen in a pub.

    Great authentic little Irish pub. Best one I’ve been to in Boston! Not American Irish, but actually feels quintessentially Irish. Staff and service were terrific (Ciara was fab!). Artwork and mementos on the walls were great. Watched Six Nations Irish match and it was a very pleasant experience with friends. Would definitely recommend!

    It’s crowded and loud, because it’s got great food and probably great beers. The service is good but they’re sometimes overwhelmed, not unreasonable because of how busy they are! It’s my go-to for dinner before a show because I really love their Caesar salad & ham & cheese toastie!

    Always great food and a good pint of Guinness. We enjoy the friendly staff, live Irish music, hands down one of the best Irish pubs in the US.

    We had fish and chips, a rueben, and the ham and cheese toastie with tomato soup. Everything was absolutely delicious! The host/server was super nice. Loved the Christmas lights; too. We will definitely be back! Thank you

    Was looking to take my wife for a nice breakfast out. Found Emmet's on the web, checked out their menu online and was happy with what they offered. Arrived at Emmet's to find out they only had three (3) breakfast choices. When I mentioned this to our server she said "Oh yes, our website is outdated and needs to be redone." Felt like a bait and switch. Food was ok, servers and staff very good.
