The Haven
About
The Haven is a Scottish restaurant and pub in Jamaica Plain, billed as the only Scottish restaurant in Boston, serving its own take on authentic Scottish cuisine along with plenty of conversation and banter. The bar’s centerpiece is a dynamic Single Malt Scotch program, and its weekly tasting events, called DRAMnights, guide guests through whiskies in a relaxed setting that works for date nights and company outings alike.
The whisky program brings in distillery representatives and local partners for special tastings, such as evenings exploring Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore, or intimate sessions with Kilchoman of Islay. Some events have marked firsts for the state, like the launch of a single cask selected for a Massachusetts whisky group. The Assembly Room hosts live entertainment, from comedy to music, three to four nights a week.
What to Know
- Tastings are 21+ and often have very limited seating, so reserving ahead is recommended.
- Special tasting nights have included welcome cocktails, light Scottish bites and pairings.
- Jason Waddleton of The Haven has led whisky tastings alongside guest presenters.
