Black Rose: Doing our own pub crawl
  • Tip Rating:
  • It's funny how people will pay to do a pub crawl that doesn't include drinks, so on our last visit we decided to do our own pub crawl and started at the Black Rose. A week before St. Patrick's Day, all the pubs were gearing for the great celebrations. I don't usually drink beer, but when I do, I usually like Blonde Ale's. Black Rose has a Red Hook Blonde Ale, excellent!!

  • We went here to meet up the group on the November '03 trip. To my surprise the guy sitting next to me was from my local pub at home ( well at work but....) Sorry man. I had no clue you owed them money...... ;-))) We've now been here several times. Its a place that although quite touristy we seem to find ourselves in every time we come to town. Nothing wrong with tourist places once in a while. Do be advised that the kitchen closes by 9pm. So it is NOT a late night snack place.

    Its a pub. During the day anyway anything goes. I wore my evil empire shirt and no one said or did anything. (see Hong Kong for a pic of it)

    Black Rose: Nice place for a pint
  • Tip Rating:
  • Black Rose is a fairly typical Irish American pub. It's pretty good size, and is usually fairly full. There's a good size dinner area, as well as a well-stocked bar. I remember the food being good, but it's been years since I ate there, so I can't recommend anything specific. The beer, on the other hand, was very fresh as of a few days ago... They pour a very nice & proper pint of Guinness. The crowd varies, but tends to be groups & families. So it's probably not a great place to go to meet new people. But the atmosphere is still very lively & cozy. It is a great place to hang out with your friends, as we proved during the most recent VT meeting there. So if you and your friends are hanging out in Boston, do make it a point to stop by.

    No dress code to speak of. Pretty casual.

    Black Rose: The Black Rose
  • Tip Rating:
  • You absolutely must “The Black Rose”. My friend Silke and I went to this place twice: We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere during the day and had a real fun at night drinking beer and enjoying Irish music played by a great band named “Celtic Clan”. We had only one problem…. they didn’t serve any food after 9p.m. on Friday night! So if you’re hungry and planning to go there at night make sure their kitchen is not closed. (sorry for the bad quality of the picture)

    Black Rose: Popular Irish Pub
    The Black Rose at night - Boston

    There are more "Irish Pubs" in Boston than you care to count but The Black Rose was one of the better ones. This is probably because it features alot of live Irish music. The band was pretty good and actually Irish. The bar is quite large and there is plenty of seeing here too. However short of the name and the band there is little here that jumps out at you and says "Irish". Hence it is really another decent bar in Boston with a good band. The Black Rose is part of a chain of restaurant/pubs with an Irish theme in Boston.
