A
Plough & Stars
Stringed bands play Irish tunes in this charming neighborhood pub. While many Boston bars fraudulently and irritatingly exaggerate their ‘Irishness, ’ the Plough & Stars is the real deal. It serves up bangers, eggs and gastro-pub fare in a cozy wooden room with stout on tap and bottles of Fin du Monde and Narragansett (Rhode Island’s best worst beer). Weekend soccer matches on the telly.

Mr Dooley’s Boston Tavern
With Irish bands playing traditional tunes several nights a week, and a decent list of appropriate beers, this cozy bar is one of the best bets in the area. Sit in a booth and linger over a copy of the Irish Immigrant or Boston Irish Reporter to learn about current events on the other side of the Atlantic.

Druid
Inman’s main bar is a small Irish place serving pub food that costs a few dollars more than it should. It’s a comfortable spot, though locals grumble about the loss of Druid’s cool edge when the place changed ownership a few years back. Bartenders suffer the indignity of lame, logo-bearing polo shirts.

Matt Murphy’s Pub
For a friendly crowd and lots of bartenders from the Emerald Isle, this laid-back pub pours a fine stout and sometimes hosts folk bands. At dinnertime, tables are jammed together and are full more with diners than drinkers. Enjoy hearty Irish fare including fish and chips and a fine rabbit stew.

Farragut House
Owned by a real live Dubliner, Finbar Griffin, this is a favorite Southie hangout, within walking distance of Castle Island. Irish bands play music from the old country, while a roaring fire adds to the coziness. Live music on Tuesday and Thursday, trivia night on Monday.
