Reviews for The Black Rose in Boston, MA
Really cool place with great drinks. Ordered the Shepard's Pie and it was probably the best I've ever had. They made a number of... fun drinks and then a local music band got on the stage. Everyone was standing and watching and listening from the sides. It wasgreat! Can't wait to go back. Read more
I was there first time today, but this pub positively impressed me. Light friendly atmosphere with some noize which is common... for pubs. A really tasty Irish ale. All the dishes were served fast and we enjoyed our meal. A live music is perfect with akind musician. I wish I will travel to Boston one day again and visit the pub one more time. Thanks for all your hard work! Read more
Really like the black rose. The hostess was a little curt but the wait staff and bartenders were attentive and had a great... attitude. Food was great, especially the pretzel. Drinks were standard for a pub. Definitely a good place you could come withfriends for drinks or with your family for food. Seems fairly popular with tourists though and can definitely get busy.

First time here and from out of town, we asked to be seated in the bar for a drink and quick bite to eat. No one waited on us.... We counted 14 servers and not one of them came over to ask us if we wanted a beer. Finally, many, many minutes later one of thebar keeps walked by and said you have to order from the bar. Recommend the hostess mention to those sitting in bar area to orderat the bar rather than wait patiently for service at your table. Three stars because the bar looks amazing, and the pretzel wasvery good, though expensive. Read more
Holy fecking heck was this place amazing. We hit Boston one afternoon for aimless wandering and around lunch time and decided to... try an interesting place. I'm always down for a good Irish pub, so we decided to give The Black Rose a try. Oh. My. Gawd. Didnot disappoint. We sat outside on the sidewalk since it was a gorgeous day. Our server was absolutely amazing. She checked withthe bartender to see if they'd make an Irish Coffee with cold brew (yessssssss) and was super nice. We ordered a Ruben, bangersand mash, and a burger with caramelized onions. Every single bite was a freaking food orgasm. The bangers and mash was somethingdreams are made of. Do not pass this place by. Read more
The Black Rose is a Boston institution and a great place to visit for locals and tourists alike. I'm ashamed to admit that... despite my 15+ years of living in the Boston area, that this was my first time visiting. The good and drinks are fantastic,though, and this place lives up to the hype. There's a reason why this pub has been around for so long. The atmosphere is noisy,so if you're looking for a quiet place to eat, this isn't your scene. The sausage rolls were good, but compared to the IrishSpring roll, they paled in comparison. The Irish Chicken was well-seasoned and moist, and the bangers and mash were delightful. Read more
Went here for lunch with the family. Daughter had fish n chips. She said it was to die for. Girlfriend had cob salad and said it... was delicious. I had a bowl of clam chowder. The chowder was thick and flavorful. There was a hint of bacon flavor. Overall aneasy 5 star review!! Read more
Such a fun place! We've now gone for brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks, and live music. The atmosphere is so fun and the food is... amazing! I'm certain they make the best pretzel on earth! Can't wait to go back. Read more
