I freaking love coming here when I'm in town . The chowder is some of the best I've ever had, and the fish & chips are great. I know everyone says to get a Guinness , but go Harpoon here

The best night to go is Tuesday for their long-standing open mic night , which showcases a lot of local talent in a variety of music genres. The Burren also occasionally has live bands on weekends. Read more

Classic feel of an Irish pub with several UK beers on tap (Guinness , Belhaven, Harp, O'Hara's, Smithwick's). Live events in both front and back rooms. Also, very vegetarian-friendly menu!

The Somerville Road Runners host a 3-mile run starting from here every Monday evening at 6:45. Good route and free food (beef stew & veggie pasta ) afterward!

Surprisingly variant menu, even for vegan . Vegan burger with fries , spinach and hummus plate , and a beer . Very fun, but very loud place

One of the best places to get a pint of Guinness in the Boston area. Also has live music 7 nights a week. Great pub .

If you can... Get here on Sunday nights for Tom Bianchi and co, and Tuesday nights for open mic night hosted by the incredibly talented Hugh McGowan!!! Both in the back room =)

Classy Irish pub but when I say classy , imagine yourself next to rough hewn benches , no-name musicians , draught beer they pour the head off unto slats, and delectable food.

Try and get a seat in the front if you want to avoid a busy atmosphere. Also, be sure to order an Otter Creek Black IPA , amazing blend between a Guinness and nice IPA .

Really great place for vegetarian and vegan options . Always packed on the weekends and has great live music !

Irish music playing in the front room as well as live music in the back room. There will also be corned beef and cabbage and other Irish favorites served all day. Read more

Love this Place!!!Great food, great music , and a wonderful staff that always makes you feel welcomed.

Sign up at 6:30 p.m. to show off your new tunes at the low-key Tuesday night open mic . You won’t even have to worry about messing up that super tough guitar part! More venues @ http://ourstage.us/3o

Free (and hysterical) stand up comedy show on wednesdays in the back room.

I don't know how or why, but they probably have the best tasting Smithwicks in all of Boston. Bartenders are also super charming and great to chat up!

Doesn't look like a place you can trust the salmon . But the salmon was really good! Four smiley emojis out of 5 ????????????????

Great Thursday night spot. Live music . Great bartenders . Outdoor seating for dinner

Friendly service , tasty pints and live music make this neighborhoodsy pub a cozy escape.

Food was good, stick to your ribs comfort food , generous portions , but a little pricey (not outrageous, but on the high end ). Live music was great but made conversation difficult.

Fun place! Live music in one room and open mic in the other! And beer !

Burren has live Irish music 7 nights/week & fantabulous Guinness . While you're there chat with Java behind the bar - don't worry, you'll eventually be able to decipher his thick Irish accent.

One of my favourite place in somerville with good live music and nice crowd ;)

There's a Mediterranean sampler on the menu. It may not be traditional Irish fare, but it is delicious.

The fish n chips and tartar sauce with a harpoon ipa outside on a warm summer night...can't get any better than that

Tasty full Irish breakfast , generously sized kids menu items.

Best 80s cover band ever. Thursday nights, no cover, starts around 10:30p. So good!

Excellent neighborhood pub . Go for the Beatles Brunch Sundays 12-3

Great Trad Session in Front Room. Get there early. Back Room jammed for Rock Cover Band on Saturday Night . The Place was Rockin'. 26+6=1.

The pick up Celtic folk bands that play here on weekend afternoons and at random other times are awesome if you can catch one! As others have said the curry fries rock too :)

Tuesday night is open mic and there's live music most evenings, but we suggest you go Wednesday at 10 for the Back Room comedy night.

Start your weekend right with Thursday Burrsday. Or, go for beers or brunch any other time.

A few doors down from Sligo is the Burren, offering traditional Irish music 7 nights a week. Read more

Get this: the back room is full of tables and you can easily get a seat if you show up at happy hour , instead of peak hour.

Do yourself a favor and skip Thursday nights when it's mobbed for Scattershot - not worth it to see a middling 80s cover band.

Fresh mussels , bread , not do. 1970s prices.

Go and enjoy!

Stand-up comedy show on most Wednesdays at 10pm.

Late night live music with nostalgic classics.

Get a Guinness and listen to the shitty bands in back. Can't go wrong.

Come for the cover band on Saturday nights to relive all of the worst parts of college.

When you ask for a pint at an Irish Pub they should know to bring you a Guinness .

The best Guinness in town .

Cool spot to grab a pint of Harpoon !

Early weekdays the patio is wide open n live music all the time

One of the best places anywhere to get a Guinness .

get the mac n cheese !

A geniune "Irish Pub " with live music , quality Guinness , and pub food .

The beer 's nice and all, but do yourself a favor and order a basket of fries with curry on the side.

Glasses were dirty . Overall friendly staff GREAT PLACE!

Good for beer maybe but the good way terrible. Mahi Mahi was completely flavorless and the pulled pork was dry and was mostly bread . Wouldn't go again.
