"Generations of regulars have found a home at the bar at J.J. Foley’s, which has maintained its status as a cornerstone of the South End for over 100 years. Squeeze in and pair a pint of Guinness with Mr. Foley’s favorite — a juicy sirloin burger layered with bacon, caramelized onions, mushrooms, cheddar cheese, and topped with a fried egg." - Erika Adams
