Irish Pub called the Black ';.....';

We were told it was in Finaly Hall, or Fennely Hall or Fenily Hall.

Anyone have any suggestions of what it might be and where exactly it is??????

thanks

Irish Pub called the Black ';.....';

It%26#39;s the Black Rose. It%26#39;s near Fanueil Hall, but actually closer to Quincy Market. The Black Rose on State Street near the Custom House.

Yes, it%26#39;s the Black Rose.

The establishment is somewhat of a tourist trap. Very crowded and loud.

Are you looking for a true Irish pub? Try Warren%26#39;s Tavern in Charlestown, the Pour House at Copley or anything in Southie.

Hope this helps!

My vote for anything in Southie over the downtown Irish pubs, though the one at Government Ctr is good for a meal...also the harp at North Station isn%26#39;t bad either. The Purple Shamrock or whatever it is is another tourist trap. I%26#39;m used to Irish pubs in Dorchester/ Southie/JP/West Roxbury and to me, the ones downtown never feel authentic.

True the Black Rose is a tourist trap, but a fun one! Faneuil Hall is a tough name for a tourist and locals alike. Most people pronounce it Fan-U-Elle Hall, when in actuality, it%26#39;s pronounced FAN-ell Hall, Like the word ';flannel'; without the ';L.'; Enough of the English/history lesson, onto Irish bars. The Kinsale across from Government Center is a good one. So is the Kell%26#39;s in Brighton. Go to bostonirishpubs.com for more info.

A word on a previous post-ers suggestion to go ';any bar in Southie.'; True, South Boston is a pre-dominantly Irish-American neighborhood, but the bars most people frequent (The Playwright, Beer Garden) have been affected by gentrification, and no longer have their Irish flavor. The owners have turned them into ';hip lounges'; so the new folks in the neighborhood can have a place to pay $5.50 for a beer. Nonetheless, there are still some bars that endure--The Quencher, and L Street come to mind, but blindly picking random bars in Southie, especially ';local'; random bars can end up being a bit uncomfortable for the tourist.

You%26#39;re right Healey...and I like the way you put it too.

...I still like the Harp and Bard on Dot Ave in Dorchester... Fields Corner has its pubs, but as Healey says, they%26#39;re not especially outsider-friendly....Adams Village Dorchester has a place called Gerards that%26#39;s not so much a pub as an Irish restaurant (and it%26#39;s located next to a fun little Irish bakery called Green Hills)... Gerards and Green Hills are very friendly, welcoming places. The Corib in West Roxbury is great. And is the Irish Ale House in Dedham still going? It%26#39;s been a while since I%26#39;ve been out that way...

Thanks CoCo, and yes, the Irish Ale House is still going strong!

I also agree with Healey that the Black Rose can be considered touristy however my friends and I have always had a good time here be it during the week or weekends. Being from the area I find tourists more interesting to meet %26amp; mingle with. I have also noticed many other ';locals'; hanging around here after work etc. Fanueil hall is a great area to bar hop.

I just noticed this is Mick12345 %26#39;s only post %26amp; he%26#39;s supposedly from Boston. Maybe mick%26#39;s just messing with us.

The Burren in Somerbille is fantastic especially as they hold sessiuns (Celtic Music jam sessions) in the afternoons.
