    Love this place. Excellent beef stew , great beer selection, terrific service. Can't wait to go back. I do wish they had a TV for the Sox game though.

    Really great comfort food! Highly recommend the shepherds pie and the beef stew. Just right when it comes to richness - not too much and not too little. Nice selection of beers. The atmosphere is very Irish Pub like that makes you feel right at home. The service was excellent. The staff all work together so your needs are always in the forefront of their service but they are not smothering you with attention. I can't wait to visit again! Thanks!

    Went during the weekend for a jazz brunch. Great local musicians from Berkeley with a lively atmosphere and good food. I had to fish and chips that came with the salad. Nice pour a black and tans.

    Place had a cool vibe from the get go. Wasn’t a fan of the country music playing when we walked in but not a deal breaker. When the band started they were incredible. So entertaining (we went for breakfast, on Sunday they have a “bluegrass” brunch). The food was delicious, bloody Marie’s flavorful. Everyone was awesome but it got busy and we temporarily “lost” our waitress. It wasn’t a big deal except that we felt a little bad being finished and sitting there at a prime table when there was a wait for people to get in. Will be back soon!

    Open Mic is obviously a hit-and-miss. In our case, we probably ended up not going there at the best time. Other than that, good bar food & atmosphere and super friendly staff. Will give it another try.

    Our server was amazing! She was the reason we didn't leave or complain. The food was pricey and not good. Fish and chips that were supposed to be fresh haddock had a mushy texture and were almost grey in color. The beef and Guinness stew were more like a soup, and the beef was very fatty. We were there on trivia night which was kind of a joke. Since it was played on your phone, people were looking the answers up. Overall, a poor experience. We might go back on a night with music and just have drinks. If it wasn't for the great service from our server, it would have been a terrible experience.

    This was our second time to go to the Bebop while visiting in Boston. We love Irish music and the musicians who jam while we enjoy the great traditional pub food such as fish and chips provide just the right atmosphere to create the perfect setting. The pub culture of Ireland is recreated here daily. We were so glad we could get a table here for dinner.

    I hadn't expected live music, but there was an Irish folk band playing while we were there. The food was great, the service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Conversation was a bit difficult because of the nose level, but a great time was had.

    We picked this place because it is near NEC and my daughter is a student there. We wanted to take her to dinner before her performance. Everything was delicious plus there was a lovely lady playing the piano. We definitely will be back! I especially enjoyed my pumpkin martini!

    Sat outside since we had our dog with us and luckily the weather was ideal for a cool fall night, but the service was very accepting of our dog on the patio and super accommodating. Friendly staff, great food, and occasionally hearing the music through the windows/door was A+ for us.

    Such a great place to enjoy some classic Irish pub food, and live music! We went on a Friday night, and there was a traditional Irish group playing, before a jazz/rock band took over later in the night. We sat for hours having some drinks and taking in the atmosphere... would definitely recommend!
