"In the heart of Downtown Crossing, neighborhood mainstay JM Curley stays open later during the latter half of the week, serving glorious piles of fries, chicken wings, and more until 1:30 a.m. Thursday through Sunday. Midnight espresso martini and a burger, anyone? (For more excellent cocktails and snacks like lobster pancakes, the Wig Shop, JM’s new next-door sibling, also stays open till 2 a.m.)" - Erika Adams
"JM Curley’s award-winning burger is slathered in caramelized onions, Russian dressing, pickles, and cheddar on a sesame bun for $22. It’s the perfect high-quality pub food to satisfy stomach rumblings after a few cocktails. Insider tip: A pared-down version with a five-ounce griddled patty is available for late-night eaters (‘til 1:30 a.m. nightly) for $16." - Erika Adams
"A classic Downtown Crossing pub, JM Curley is the place to go for comfort food and a beer. Get the mac and cheese or the excellent burger with fries. Stay awhile and explore the premises: There’s a tiny steakhouse hidden downstairs, as well as a cheeky cocktail bar next door called the Wig Shop." - Tanya Edwards
"A true bar burger is simple enough to hold in one hand and wash down with the beer you’ve got in your other. But a great bar burger makes you forget about the drink altogether. That’s what you get at JM Curley in Downtown Crossing, where a juicy patty topped with Russian dressing, cheddar, onions, and pickles should be waiting for you after work at least once a month." - dan secatore
"If they let you choose the temperature it was cooked at, the burger at JM Curley’s in Downtown Crossing would be just about perfect. It’s a sloppy mess of cheddar, Russian dressing, and grilled onions on top of a grass-fed patty that fills you up without making you wonder if there’s a brick in your stomach two hours later. The dark, brick-walled spot gets crowded after work, but you can usually find an open stool to enjoy something from their extensive tap list or one of their pretty good original cocktails." - dan secatore
