Irish pub with fish & chips, Guinness, and live music
"At the Druid, an Inman Square staple, get the mussels or the Irish seafood stew — and definitely the fish and chips, which are some of the best in Boston. They pour a mighty fine pint of Guinness, and offer an excellent whiskey selection as well. Catch traditional Irish music three times a week, too." - Terrence Doyle
"At the Druid, an Inman Square staple, the fish and chips are essential. Cod is fried in a crunchy batter made in-house that almost has the consistency of cornflakes — and that’s a good thing. Hand-cut fries and a generous serving of tartar sauce complete the meal." - Tanya Edwards
"The Druid pours Guinness pints that are shockingly close to those across the pond. Maybe that’s because they clean their taplines daily, or because they simply sell so much of the stout that it’s always fresh — either way, it’s only one of many reasons this Inman Square pub in a historic wooden mercantile building is a beloved institution. The compact space with its red walls and dark wood paneling is the very definition of cozy, especially when the corner table is packed with musicians playing an impromptu trad session." - Molly McDonough
"This Irish pub is frequented by many, many regulars. It’s a place to gather (open until 2am every night, kitchen until 10pm), enjoy some live music, and a classic order of fish and chips or shepherd’s pie." - Karen Wilber
"When you stop going out, you usually find that you have a lot more money on hands - money you become pretty reluctant to part with. That’s why places like Toad in Porter Square, one of the few places in the city where you can hear live music without paying a cover, are so essential. Even if you don’t come here for the music, you’ll have a great time at this tiny little living room of a pub that has a small food menu to go along with beer, wine, and liquor." - dan secatore
