The Boston Arms is a great classic pub where you can enjoy a couple of cheap Irish beers and listen to some good old live rock music. Open from 10 am till midnight (2 am on Fridays and Saturdays), The Boston Arms is a sweet, compact and unpretentious place any rock fan will love. The building has over a century history, but the pub itself is relatively new. But, even though the venue was opened in 2013, it already hosted shows from such great musicians as
U2, The White Stripes,
Madness, and Blur.
