Clery’s

Clery’s is a lively Irish bar, restaurant, and event space located where Back Bay meets the South End. A long-time local favourite, it’s known for its welcoming atmosphere, large windows, and a steady mix of regulars, visitors, and sports fans.

Named after the historic Clery’s department store on O’Connell Street in Dublin, the pub blends old-school Irish charm with a modern Boston bar scene. Inside you’ll find a long mahogany bar, several event spaces, and multiple screens showing major sporting events, including regular viewing parties for fans of the Georgia Bulldogs.

The menu mixes pub classics with creative comfort food. Popular items include steak tips, chicken dishes, birria fries, and steak bomb rangoons. Weekend brunch is another highlight, featuring a well-known Bloody Mary bar and brunch favourites with a Boston twist.

Clerys is also a popular spot for private events and gatherings, thanks to its multiple floors and flexible function spaces. In the evenings the atmosphere shifts from casual drinks and sports upstairs to a livelier late-night scene downstairs in the “Boom Boom Room.”

Guests often mention the friendly service and energetic vibe. As one visitor noted, “Clery’s is a Back Bay classic, great food, good drinks, and a fun atmosphere for a night out with friends”.
