This place has been on my list for a long time. I was not disappointed. The Irish stew and seafood stew were amazing. Also had the best Guinness pint since Dublin. Jackie our server was super good. What a great place.

Visiting from out of town and this is genuinely the best restaurant I have ever been to. I randomly picked this after seeing their shepard’s pie pictures and knew i just had to come here. First off the atmosphere is incredible, it is a cozy Irish Pub with the best wait staff. Our server was always on top of everything and the food came out at a great pace. Best fries and curry sauce to dip them in, the oysters were SO fresh and delicious, the beef stew and shepherds pie left us absolutely speechless. I cannot say more great things about this place!! Lastly, the best part, their Guinness has the absolute most perfect pour. by the time we were finishing up, they had live music which made the entire experience even better. I would fly back just to watch here again.

One of my new favorite pubs in greater Boston. Stopped in for a pint and some fish & chips on a rainy afternoon and couldn’t have asked for a cozier spot, friendlier service, or tastier food. Will certainly be back, and maybe catch some music next time too.

I enjoyed their Druid Chips and burger. Very good curry sauce! Next time I plan on trying their Fish & Chips. They looked absolutely amazing!!

Coming here on a rainy miserable afternoon, with luck having not been on my side for weeks, it felt like I was participating in an age-old ritual.

Come in from the cold, outside world into the warm embrace of an Irish pub to fill your soul on velvety smooth pours of thick-bodied pints of Guinness and a massive heaping of Shepherd’s Pie. That pie was exquisite, the meat cooked delicately but the portions generous. This is the kind of pub you can only find in the US in Boston. Cheers!

We had lunch there with family friends. Surprising good quality and authentic iris food. Price value is great. Worth recommending or bring friends.

A classic local Irish pub with an array of comfort foods and great drafts.

Came here on a Friday during an off-peak hour and found the place quite bustling with locals and tourists. The word among the locals was that Druid pours one of the best draft Guinness beers in the city. While it wasn't comparable to the ones I've tried in Dublin, it was still velvety smooth.

Food-wise, Druid championed hearty and generous portions. The lightly-seasoned fried calamari especially stood out with its sheer size of the portion - undoubtedly a steal for its price. However, my favorite of the meal was the Oxtail Soup. It was a seasonal gem that's only served in the colder months, and it was replete with two huge oxtail bones and savory broth that beautifully harmonized with the slight tang from the spinach.

The Shepherd's Pie and Druid Fish & Chips leaned more towards the traditional side without much flair, but they were still good choices with the beer.

For anyone seeking an authentic Irish pub experience, complete with classic dishes, great beer, and a spirited environment, Druid is an undeniable gem. Highly recommend giving them a try.

Food was delicious and hot and the entire place was filled with music and singing. Made for a fun evening. Only thing scored down was service since our host accidentally dropped a butter knife on me then ran away for some time without acknowledging the incident. Otherwise, would definitely go back for more food!
