Great place!! Food is awesome and there's good beer. The best thing is that you can see European football!!

First went for the Manchester City vs Liverpool match and wow. What an atmosphere. It was at capacity at 11:30 am on a Sunday! Plan on getting there early for big matches, as this is the place to be. Great bartenders and friendly service as well. Went back for another game and had a great experience once again. Would recommend this bar to any sports fan, especially European football fans.P.S. Theres a packie and pizza place right next to it. At half time go get a couple nips and a slice to cut costs, its a pure vibe. Stay safe and have fun everyone! ??

Friendly staff and homely atmosphere were nice. The rib specail was able to exceed my expectations. The spice level was fine. I would be pleased to go back in the future to the Banshee.

Excellent service, excellent food, good beer. I had the beet salad with fried Asian-style cauliflower added on, which was delicious. Joy, Chris, and (I believe) Jon (who was working during the day on Sunday) were all friendly and attentive. Lucky to have missed my stop on the RedLine and ended up at this joint!

Great local pub! Go here for the food and the games. The food is great! I always get the gaelic fries with steak. Come here to watch all the games. Can’t brag about this place enough to people. Always busy and staff tends to learn your name very quickly.

Menus on their website not the same. Offerings of Irish food was not here. Menu was bar food at mediocre. Good Guinness cold brew. Then everything else was downhill. Cup of clam chowder could have been better if it was hot. Lukewarm is closer. A Hamburger that had fresh lettuce and tomato, beef was prepared as ordered medium. Bun was tasty fresh but the cheddar or what was offered as cheese was totally missing and the onion straws were hard,cold chewy overcooked dried out onions. It was loud noisy Banshee wailing drinking establishment, but food sadly missed the point. Because it was so busy, you had to wait and be aggressive to get a bartender's attention to order.

Fun bar, good bartenders, horrible bouncer. Without fail, every time I have been to this bar there has been no bouncer at the door so I have gone in. He then always comes stammering and often drunk seeming from the back of the bar to yell at us for coming in and aggressively demanding our IDs. Probably best to not be a jerk when you're the one not doing your job. But otherwise, a fun bar (just beware of bouncer)

If you are out of coleslaw, tell me you’re out of coleslaw. Don’t wait until I realize it when I pay $21 for the most overpriced fish and chips of my life. Fish and chips were tasting like they dumped the salt shaker all over them. Not from Boston, but I think it’s funny my non vaccinated friends were able to sit and when I come in later, I’m asked to show my card, which I did. What a joke!

Best place to watch soccer games in the Greater Boston area.Visited to watch the Manchester City vs Liverpool match, and the vibes here were simply unmatched. Unfortunately, we weren't able to grab a table or bar seats as we came in a little late. Stood in the middle of the bar for the entire game, but they still offered to serve us beer and fries. Both were amazing, and servers were also very helpful despite all the craziness going on at the time.Definitely recommend going at least 30 minutes in advance if you want to grab a good seat.

This place is perfect. Want a casual beer? Come here. Want a nice cocktail? Come here. Want a good dinner, quick bite, or delicious pizza? Come here. This place is clean, inviting, and delicious on multiple fronts. This is perfect for watching a game, chatting with friends, or just enjoying time for a bit. The guy behind the bar, Mike, was kind, accommodating, and helpful. This place rocks and I look forward to going back.
