We popped in here several times last week, visiting for a few days with friends. It’s a nice place to be. With Harp on tap, it makes for a good evening out. The live music was spot on. Food is good, perhaps pricey, though it’s a city centre. The chips could have been hand cut rather than frozen crinkle cut (it’s the little things). I recommend the pretzel, the strong mustard and cheese dip should be a nice starter to share 🥨 Prices for drinks are good, compared to some bars nearby.
I had the chicken pot pie, not bad. I much preferred the fish n chips, which was very nice.
Walk through the Quincy Market area and hang a right. Easy to get to. The clam chowder is still the best I’ve ever had! Average prices for the area (think tourist prices in a big city). Recommend viewing the menu in advance. Didn’t pay the $10/pint prices but if you have it, go for it! The “chips” were really good, hamburger was average, chowder a must, chicken tenders were something I’d recommend (especially if you have kids in your party) because the portion was big. Most of the fare was heavy pub food but salads available. Bathrooms tight so be warned. Our server was pleasant and we didn’t wait long for food to arrive.
The Black Rose has been in its location between the Custom House and Faneuil Hall for almost 50 years.
We have eaten at the Black Rose three times while vacationing in Boston. Each time the food was great and the location vibe is cool. On the other hand each time the server ( not the same each time) was short and a bit rude.
If not for the questionable service the Black Rose would score an easy 5Stars.

We (2 couples) stumbled on this place while walking around, exploring Boston for the first time. Small. It was crowded and service was slow but to be expected on a busy Friday night. They had live music, entertaining. We just had a few beers for a quick in and out.
Service was ok and the food was good. Prices were a bit high, but it is kind of a tourist spot, so that's not surprising. Atmosphere was classic Irish pub... Would visit again.
Always such a great time eating here. We come down to this same restaurant the day before Thanksgiving as a tradition that started 20 yrs ago. So happy and thankful 🩷🩵
The Shepherd’s Pie is fantastic! So good! I cleaned the bowl.
My wife got the chicken pot pie. The crust was really good but I wasn’t crazy about the flavor. It did have hearty chunks of chicken and vegetables though! Went back the next day and tried the beef stew. I recommend the shepherd’s pie.
What a great Irish pub! Loved the old decor, high ceilings and festive atmosphere. The food was authentic and outstanding. Shepard’s Pie was phenomenal and the bangers & mash fantastic! The pints of 🍺 just made everything better. Great service. Reasonable prices.
The iced Irish coffee was really good, and I liked the county meath. The French onion soup was pretty good, and the clam chowder was decent.
My husband wanted to try some Irish food while we're in Boston, so we checked this place out. We enjoyed the live music a lot and loved the vibe. Even though the restaurant seemed to be very busy at the time we're there, but the waitress was still very attentive and our food came out very quick.
