The Dubliner Irish Pub

"A downtown Boston pub where Ed Sheeran performed a surprise St. Paddy’s Day show." - Erika Adams

"A modern Irish pub near City Hall Plaza in downtown Boston, run by chef and Ireland native Aiden McGee. Known for its lively atmosphere and Irish music." - Erika Adams

"How Boston made it until 2022 before a modern Irish restaurant opened in the city is a mystery. Even more confounding is what alchemy chef Aidan Mc Gee of Ireland’s county Donegal works just to make his Irish seafood chowder so good it’s tempting to never turn back to the New England version. Instead of corned beef and cabbage — which Mc Gee says is just “not a thing” in Ireland — savor beef and Guinness pies, chicken curry, dayboat fish and chips and more, in an atmosphere that whisks you away to Dublin. Check out the weekly live music, too." - Tanya Edwards, Terrence Doyle

"Open just a few years, this modern Irish restaurant, helmed by chef Aidan McGee of Ireland’s County Donegal, serves one of the best platters of day boat fish and chips in town. Large, crispy filets of fresh haddock are served with ramekins of mushy peas, tartar sauce, and McGee’s excellent curry sauce. Sister restaurant McGonagle’s in Dorchester has a solid version as well." - Tanya Edwards

"A place praised for its menu and exceptional service." - Erika Adams
