The Scene
This bar has everything you want in an Irish pub--dim lighting, a warm fireplace, and a convivial crowd downing copious amounts of Guinness. Of course, this being Jamaica Plain, the crowd is nothing like one you'd find on the Old Sod. Lesbians, working stiffs, and greasy-haired hipsters all congregate around the hearth and the bar.

The Draw
James's Gate features a separate restaurant area in the back, but it's much cozier to order from the bar and eat by the fire. Either way, think Old World comfort food: shepherd's pie, pot roast, and bangers deep-fried in melt-in-your-mouth beer batter. Add this to 19 beers on tap (including the local triumvirate of Harpoon, Tremont and Sam Adams) and a generous selection of single malt scotch and rare cognacs, and you may just find yourself curling up here through winter.
