Genial attitude and service are the highlights of this attractive Irish bar in the Park Plaza Hotel.
The Scene An interesting mix of hotel guests and local professionals fills the nooks and tables. Its central location makes MJ O'Connor's a popular place for an after-work drink. At night, livelier scenes can be found just minutes away in the Alley or on Boylston Street.
The Draw One of the best-looking Irish bars in the city, O'Connor's is great for a quiet pint of Guinness by the fireplace on a Sunday afternoon. Only a few years old, it doesn't have the weathered, lived-in feel of most other pubs in the area. The mostly Irish waitstaff is friendly and competent. TV screens show international soccer matches and other sports events. A solid beer selection is complemented by a fully stocked bar. The extensive food menu includes authentic Irish box lunches and other specialties (fish and chips, shepherd's pie). Prices are reasonable across the board.
