Boston: where the tea meets Celtic cheer by the harbor breeze! Boston buzzes with Irish charm across Broadside Tavern, Kelly’s Pub, and Sweeney's On Boylston. Cultural festivals and hearty gatherings enliven this historic city.
Boston's Irish story began with waves of immigrants who enriched the city's cultural fabric over centuries. From early settlements forming tight-knit communities in neighborhoods along the waterfront to modern institutions like the Irish Cultural Centre of Greater Boston and Éire Society of Boston, the spirit of Ireland has been a constant thread woven through the city's history. Pubs such as Broadside Tavern and Kelly’s Pub have long served as communal havens, where traditions are celebrated and new stories are born over pints of Guinness. Today, Boston hosts a lively tapestry of festivals, music sessions, and cultural gatherings that honor both ancestral roots and contemporary influences.
