This is the bar I've always referred to as the "real cheers" of Boston". Great Regulars & Staff w/Foley family still running it fabulously. Bartender Jim Savage will make you laugh at yourself.

Matthew Tomor

Every night, right before last call, the bartenders will go in the back and bring out the JJ's mascot. A miniature pig for everyone to pet and love. Her name is Juniper.

John Toy

Ask for Sir. Savage and ask him to recall the tale of the 'trial of the Frenchman'. Learn some history, have a laugh, and have a pint! N' tell him truck driver John says hello. Cheers!

Mike Mott

Awesome downtown, nice locals good Irish Beers and whiskey

Foley’s also serves as a great night cap. There’s a jukebox , the ubiquitous Big Buck Hunter , and free darts . And they take their darts very seriously – Foley’s is home to the Boston Area Darts Associa Read more

Call before heading down later in the day. Their opening hours have changed and they may not be open.

Visiting Englishmen, Aussies and Kiwis who miss talking about rugby league and making fun of bald people with big ears should seek out bar tender Jim Savage ! Read more

James Savage is the man. He's the bald cartoon man near the draft beer list .

Drink a Sunset Wheat but only if they have oranges . And grab a bowl of clam chowder and a grilled cheese for 8 bucks when you're there watching the game.
