Brendan Behan Pub
About
Brendan Behan Pub is a traditional Irish pub in Jamaica Plain and one of the few of its kind left in Boston. There is no kitchen, so the focus is on drink and conversation: craft beers, wines by the glass and cocktails in a cozy, laid-back room that draws both locals and travelers. Food arrives through pop-ups that have included burritos, oyster shucking and sushi.
Live traditional Irish music is a centerpiece. Each Saturday evening, anywhere from three to ten musicians perform a live Irish session, and patrons are invited to come for a pint and the craic. On Wednesday afternoons a vendor known as Rafa serves traditional Mexican burritos with homemade salsa verde and salsa rojo. The pub has also shown World Cup games, adjusting its opening hours to match game times.
