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!

    Best fish and chips ever! Crispy, deliciously breading. Fresh, flakey fish without that fishy taste.

    My favorite pub in the entire world! Chowder is outrageously good. Vibes are immaculate.

    My experience of this space (previously Solas) has always been that it gets too crowded and too loud to really enjoy. But last night we were seated upstairs (didn’t know it existed), and had a really fun evening. Food is excellent, if just a tad pricey for Irish pub food. Great drinks, attentive service, lovely atmosphere.

    The ambience was very nice and the service good. I food the food a little too fancy for a true Irish pub.

    We were very disappointed by the service as well as the cocktails. Their food was over priced and while we enjoyed the sliders, the rest of our meal was not very good. Our cocktails were actually undrinkable and we were still charged for them.
