J.J. Foley's Cafe

In the mood for cheap draft beer served amidst massive amounts of Irish paraphernalia? It’s tough to throw a stone in Boston without hitting a venue that checks those boxes, but for a little added historic flair, head to J.J. Foley's Cafe. This cozy family-owned venue has been in operation since 1909, providing visitors with ample opportunity to enjoy a refreshing pint of Guinness served at a pre-Prohibition bar. J.J. Foley's is equipped with a pretty sizable beer list, but don’t miss out on its dinner menu—on a rainy day, nothing quite compares to a serving of Duck Poutine Fries paired with a healthy dose of Shepherd’s Pie.
