Welcome to Sweeney’s. We’re known for a lively time, and a lively time is what you’ll get. We like to gather outside, sidle up to the bar inside, and let loose until the last pints on Boylston are served. No matter when you amble through our doors, you’ll find us spirited and rambunctious as ever – so sit and stay a while!

    Easy booking process and table was ready on arrival. Lovely welcome and confident service. Was little reticent about the change from Solas which I loved, but there was no need to worry. Service was great , new menu , missing a few of our favourites but also with some eclectic new additions. The pretzels and skins to start were delicious. Unusually we all ordered the same main, the dubliner toasties, small negative was all three toasties were completely different shades of toasting! Which I thought didn't look great. Generous filling and tasty soup. Loved the " scooped spoon fries. Personally found them far too salty especially paired with the ham.But each to their own. But still loved whole experience . It's Very Early days , give it a go its still a GREAT GIG. THANK YOU.

    This was one of the worst experiences of my life. Service was awful. Do not go here. Will never go back and will be telling others never to go.

    I was apprehensive about the change from Solas. The staff is still on hand so it’s all great including Calvin!

    Great friendly service. Excellent food choices. Highly recommend. Cordial ambiance. The room is loud, though.

    New management, same great old Boston feel. Service pleasant but slow, but still worth the visit.
