Comfort food, pitchers of beer, and strong drinks served up

























"Biddy Early’s is the self-proclaimed “best damn dive bar in Boston,” and who are we to argue? It’s absolutely the best option downtown. It’s also one of a precious few places in the city where townies and slickly dressed finance bros intermingle effortlessly. There’s simple comfort food available on the menu, such as chicken tenders, burgers, mozzarella sticks, and the like." - Nathan Tavares
"Some people call Biddy Early’s a dive, but that’s not really true. It feels more like a homey small town pub than a place where the paramedics regularly swing through. After work, it’s packed with people who stop for beers before catching a train at South Station, but in the afternoons you’ll find that it’s a perfect place to blow off work for a few hours, drinking a Guinness and playing Golden Tee." - dan secatore

"Given Biddy’s blend of no-fuss attitude and denlike surroundings with exposed wood beams, it makes a good case for being the self-proclaimed “best damn dive bar in Boston.” Beer comes by the pitcher, wine comes in just two variations (“red” and “white”), and Jameson Whiskey cocktails are served up smooth. This bar doesn’t need to go out of its way to attract the hordes on St. Patrick’s Day, but visit the night beforehand — or any night, really — and you’ll find a festive atmosphere reminiscent of the holiday." - Molly McDonough

"Biddy Early’s — the self-proclaimed “best damn dive bar in Boston” — is cheap and constantly soaked in beer. It’s also one of a precious few places in the city where townies and slickly dressed finance bros intermingle effortlessly. There’s simple comfort food available on the menu, such as chicken tenders, burgers, mozzarella sticks, and the like." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Erika Adams
"We have no idea how Biddy Early’s isn’t a Chipotle by now, but we’re really happy it’s not. It’s an old school pub that’s earned its charm through decades of day-drinking and attracts a wider range of people than you’re likely to find just about anywhere else in Downtown Boston. Grab a pint here before some developer comes along and tears out yet another small piece of Boston’s soul." - Dan Secatore
