The Banshee Bar

If you’re looking to watch football (soccer) or rugby among Dorchester locals, this is your spot. The Banshee promises, “If your game is being broadcast in North America, then you can rest assured that the Banshee will be showing it on one of its 10 flat-screen televisions.” A local meeting place steeped in Irish heritage with the added intrigue of being a bustling sports bar, The Banshee is an exciting spot to cheer on your favorite European teams and down a few pints.

Just south of Southie in neighboring Dorchester, you’ll find The Banshee (that is, if you’re looking for it). An Irish sports bar in a primarily residential neighborhood, The Banshee is known as the prime destination for all European sporting events. They focus on the Barclays Premier League, international rugby, and Gaelic football, and they are also the official pub of RISSC Boston, Celtic FC, and several other supporters' groups. Because of their focus on European sports, The Banshee opens up early and offers up an extensive breakfast menu to soak up the sights and the suds.
