The Banshee is a beloved Irish pub in Dorchester, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, extensive beer selection, and plentiful TVs showing rugby and soccer matches, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a lively sports night with friends and authentic Irish bites.
"The Banshee is especially worth a visit for drinkers interested in watching sports at an Irish bar. Especially soccer. Fair warning: It’s (mostly) a Chelsea bar. But it’s also sort of an Everton bar. And a Manchester United bar. And a Manchester City bar. What we’re saying is: Don’t go there if you support Liverpool." - Tanya Edwards, Terrence Doyle
"Like a true dive bar, the Banshee lures in crowds on the weekends when sports matches (both American and European games) play across ten flat-screen TVs. The Irish pub peddles everyone’s favorite pints of Guinness, and the all-day menu features plates like chicken tenders, burgers, and sandwiches. Share some of the O’Malley’s Gaelic fries — pub fries with bacon, cheddar, and ranch — with your pals. With a little luck, you’ll be able to hear them over the pleasant din of the place." - Nathan Tavares, Tanya Edwards
"The Banshee is the best spot in Dorchester for soccer and rugby. The pub is home to quite a few supporters groups for several soccer leagues, plus local Green Bay Packers fans." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff
"The best thing about being a fan of European soccer is always having an excuse to drink before noon. There are few better places in Boston to do that than The Banshee on Dot Ave. The food is just standard pub fare, but it’s the type of authentic Irish pub where you’ll actually hear Irish accents. Come here the next time you want to grab a pint in a place where people call uniforms “kits” and occasionally argue about Charles Parnell." - dan secatore
"Another Irish pub, another spot for a Guinness (or two, or three) and some world-class soccer." - Terrence Doyle, Dana Hatic
