The Dubliner

This ambitious Irish pub opened in 2022 from Oran McGonagle (of Emmet's and Carrie Nation, among other Boston-area spots) and celebrated chef Aidan Mc Gee, who hails from Ireland’s county Donegal. You won’t find chicken fingers or even corned beef and cabbage here, but instead a traditional Irish menu that’s heavy on seasonal favorites such as house-smoked salmon, Scotch eggs and hearty terrines, plus Mc Gee’s famous Sunday roasts. (It won best roast dinner in London in 2014!) Perfect pours of Guinness in house-designed glasses along with bespoke cocktails will get the fun flowing, and the expansive space—there’s a lively pub side and a more relaxed lounge side, as well as season outdoor dining—has quickly become a favorite for rooting on favorite football clubs and enjoying traditional Irish music.
