Kitty O'Shea's, Boston

Part of the Faneuil Hall cornucopia of bars, this fun Irish bar, which doubles as a French bistro, provides plenty of stout, folk music and brogues. Compared to other pubs in the area that host college-aged crowds, this Victorian-style bar attracts an older, more relaxed crowd. There are two floors of this establishment with the second floor serving as the bistro. Menu items include Irish favorites like fish and chips, shepherd's pie and mixed grill. The scallops and lobster entrée is recommended as are the chicken selections.
