Historically significant tavern in Boston. The original Patriots of Boston are said to have met here to discuss plans for the Tea Party. Now get your drink on and soak up the history with a pint!

Erik Cintron

The oldest bar in Boston . It's not the original place it moved over. But the history and lore is there. Great quotes align the bar . Bartenders are awesome. Great prices. Decent bar food . Good ol time!

Fluying ✅

Original location was on Union street and a frequent meeting place for the Sons of Liberty. Its name comes from the large copper dragon sculpture in the front and that oxidized, turning green.

James Gerland

The lobster roll and irish curry fries were both really great. Skip the Green Dragon Brew , it's like bud light or something. Cool place, would come back.

Brian Chabot

Great atmosphere in a beautiful, historis neighborhood , about 2-3 blocks from the original location. (The original was located about on the far side of the parking garage between here & Haymkt T stn)

Jim Anderson

Try the The Balvenie Double Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky - The Green Dragon has been fueling rebellion since 1687, long before Paul Revere drank here. #Boston #nevertrump (via @Foodspotting)

Samuel Bachman

Friendly Irish staff and a great cover band on weekends - the Swinging Johnsons (at least when I lived in Boston). Good combination of college students and young professionals.

Rob Farley

We called and requested a reservation for 5:30pm and arrived at 5:15pm to learn that they don't take reservations ! Great small lively pub with good food.

daniel kitchener

The Irish Curry Cheese Fries are amazing. French Onion soup is a bit bland, but not bad. Seriously, though, get the curry cheese fries . They are fantastic

Santia Valerio

A great pit stop if you're walking the freedom trail ! Interesting history and good apps & drinks. Def try the blueberry shandy !

Referred to as "HQ of the Revolution." Original pub was located on Union St & established in 1654. Copper dragon outside front door turned green due to weather, thus its name. More info in blog.<LINK> Read more

The curry fries are out of this world, and the fish and chips are absolutely incredible! Great prices on beer and ton on tap .

One of the oldest taverns in america! Good draft beers and plenty of live shows.

Ray Hostetler

To really enjoy the place for its history and beer , avoid Friday and Saturday night. It just feels like a club then.

Jacob Ford

The history gets fuzzy about this place in particular, but we do know the Sons of Liberty hung out at a place called the Green Dragon .

Sam Mertins

It's moving to sit at the bar and drink a beer . Do it, if for just one.

Jake Smith

In keeping with historic tradition, the owners of the Green Dragon apparently haven't cleaned the tap lines since the War for American Independence.

Paul Filippetti

Good night time spot. Like the local beer selection . Place just has good atmosphere.

Christopher Smith

I have to say the Green Dragon House Ale tastes surprising, a lot like Miller Lite! Not a Fan!

Snooty Waiter

Sits on a cool cobble side street in the north end and next two multiple little bars doing the same thing.

Clay Mountain

Have the Sam Adams brick red beer ...served only in Boston (delicious!)

Guy

St. Andrews Lodge of Freemasons purchased this Tavern in 1766. They used the 1st floor for mtgs, & basement tavern was used by secret groups, becoming known as the "Headquarters of the Revolution". Read more

Classic Boston Irish pub with incredible history.

A.D. Revels

Good atmosphere in a historic location. They have Magner's Pear Cider too!

Mazda

Established in 1654 The Green Dragon was a favorite haunt of Paul Revere (Whom we consider a close Neighbor) and John Hancock (who’s brother lived next door!).

The Naughty Italian Chef

Great atmospherebut food... Fries were overcooked in old oil, served cold;the fish and chips was fried in cold old oil, the lobster roll was prepared with a baguette bread . Not great experience

Social News Network

Great place to have a cold Guinness after a trek through the Freedom Trail .

Sofia Papastamelos

Band was great and pub wasn't uncomfortably packed unlike some of the others in the area.

Allen Vogliano

Do not get the Green Dragon Brew !

Andrew O

Great irish pub . Try the shepherds pie potato skins

For anyone from Baltimore: the Dragon Summer Brew is pretty much exactly like Natty Boh .

Stop by for a beer

Katie R.

They SUCK. They didn't serve us water when asked AND the proceeded to not serve us anymore after we had a few drinks and were behaving. I've never been so insulted in a bar before in my entire life.

The Employee of the Month

Good place to grab a drink but good luck getting a table

Lindsay

If you're coming here after 9pm and don't have a US driver's licence, make sure you have your passport or you won't get in! Yep, Canadians too... Disappointing!

Kaila Mazzy

Yes yes yes yes yes. The dive bar of my life.
