"The beautiful wood-paneled bar at Emmets fits right into its location in picture-perfect Beacon Hill. The claim to fame here, as indicated in the giant painted sign above the door, is Irish coffee, made with dark roast coffee, raw sugar, and fresh cream. Emmets is a great place to fuel up for a walk on the Freedom Trail, which starts around the corner — or to kick off St. Patrick’s Eve festivities, which are likely to include traditional Irish musicians in a cozy corner by the window." - Molly McDonough
