Elephant & Castle Pub
About
Elephant & Castle is a classic British-style pub in Boston’s Financial District, within a few blocks of Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, the Old South Meeting House and the Freedom Trail. It serves a great selection of draft beers alongside casual American pub fare, and its location makes it a convenient stop for people walking the Freedom Trail or spending time in the middle of downtown.
The building has an unusual bit of history. The flow from Boston’s Great Molasses Flood of 1919 is said to have stopped at what is now the pub’s doorstep, and these days the only flood it sees is the stream of people coming in for a beer. The pub works for a casual meal, a drink at the bar or a night out, and it is listed among downtown’s nightlife spots.
