A Boston classic! Great food, and a perfect spot to grab a Guiness as well as a bunch of other decent beers.
Upvoted Sep 18- CityRover MediaJanuary 5, 2011Foley’s also serves as a great night cap. There’s a jukebox, the ubiquitous Big Buck Hunter, and free darts. And they take their darts very seriously – Foley’s is home to the Boston Area Darts Associa Read more
Men's Health MagNovember 22, 2011There are no seats at the bar. You stand, put your foot up on the railing,and chill. That's how it goes at Foley's. Get your whiskey and knock it backfast.
Kelly OkamuraApril 18, 2014Their truffle Parmesan fries are PHENOMENAL. Every. Single. One. was crispy (i.e., there wasn't a single disappointing, soggy one) and the rosemary was the perfect added touch.
Drink on the right side for a real old school session (no stools at the bar).Get grub on the left side (fish&chips, mac&cheese, the curry sauce, and smoked salmon plate are standouts).
- Can't go wrong with a Guinness and a Foley burger! Throw in some tater tots and you gotta party.
Stephen McGillSeptember 18, 2018Family atmosphere great nachos order starter size enormous amount of food, good pub
- Gotta get the mr foley's favorite burger and some truffled Parmesan tots!!
Scott FlahertyNovember 22, 2012Do whatever you want here, but remember: you're three blocks south of the Boston Herald's headquarters.
If you know what's good or you, you'll get the potatoe skins
- Ks ProductionsMay 19, 2010Nachos are good and they have blue moon! Guacamole was great also and had flavor.
Are you here between 4 and 6pm? IT'S HALF-PRICED APPS TIME!!!! DOOOOEEEEEE #YOLO

"Friday nights are really great, mostly if you can get there before 10:30 because the line can get lengthy. Always pretty people and BIG tip - there are THREE floors of drinking/partying!"

"The tiger slaw is refreshing, sweet & sour Brussel sprouts were a tad on the sweeter side but that was a given and dumplings didn't disappoint. Love the restaurant vibes — will be back for sure!"
