Ned Devine's Bar / Club / Irish Pub / Live Music Venue

Downtown / Financial District, Boston –

Located in the middle of Boston’s bustling Faneuil Hall area, Ned Devine’s is a mild-mannered pub and restaurant by day and an amped-up party destination on weekend nights.

Tucked away in the corner of the busy Quincy Market building, this three-level local haunt is a convenient spot to grab a quick drink after browsing through some of the building’s many food vendors, book stores, and souvenir shops.

A spiral staircase by the intimate downstairs bar leads patrons up to a large dining area, where locals gather for drinks by the glow of Irish beer and whiskey signs and watch the Red Sox on the TVs over the bar, while groups of tourists fill the tables and vintage pinstriped sofas to relax over generous plates of comfort food.

Although dim lighting from the wrought iron chandeliers create a laid-back atmosphere, the space turns into a meat market starting on Thursday nights when the third-floor Parris Nightclub opens up and DJs or live cover bands draw huge crowds of pub crawlers, bachelorette parties, and locals looking to hook up or hit the dance floor under the red and blue strobe lights.

The energy keeps building as the mass of stumbling, drunken patrons chug cocktails, sing along to Bon Jovi, and bat lashes until closing time.

A sociable and versatile watering hole, Ned Devine’s is a hotspot equally perfect for a relaxing evening with friends on a Monday or an electrifying dance party on a Friday.
