J.J. Foley's Cafe

On the Grid : J. J. Foley's

"When you walk into J.J. Foley’s you not only feel that you are in an authentic Irish pub, but you get a real sense of the history of post-modern Boston. Family-owned and operated since 1909, this place has had it's share of stories. While you can certainly grab good pub-style food in the dining room, the real attraction here is the classic, barstool-free pre-prohibition bar serving pints and mixed drinks until 2am daily. It's an intentionally old-fashioned place run on "a lot of hard work and prayers." Certainly not fussy, it's a refreshing throwback to a time before the neighborhood was overrun by luxury condos and organic grocery stores." - Adam&Co.
