Doyle's Café

Fodor's Review:

Doyle's Café, truly an institution, is a friendly, crowded, neighborhood Irish pub that opened in 1882 and has been a Boston political landmark ever since. Candidates for everything from Boston City Council to the U.S. Senate drop by to eat corned beef and cabbage, sample one of the 21 brews on tap or 60 single-malt Scotches, and, of course, make speeches and shake hands.
