Kind of grungy. They have oversized games though that are loud but super fun. Played giant connect four for hours with friends. Large open space. Smallish bathrooms but clean. Definitely had the best prices in the area, beers I think were five bucks when I went. Great place for groups.
We came in with a large party and had a blast. We were served immediately with friendly bartenders and a fun atmosphere. One of our favorite bartenders, Paul, had many drink suggestions. Not one person in our party was disappointed. I highly recommend this bar. Always ask for Paul if you want the most out of this experience.
This is not "an authentic Irish bar". It is authentic in that it is inexpensive, fabously no frills, and Irish themed. My favorite aspect is the lack of TVs everywhere - this is a place you go to DRINK. And it's one of my favorite bars in the financial district. You meet interesting people with a thoroughly unpretentious mix. Dollar draft is Natty Ice, and they have a couple craft brews on tap, but the $2 bud light is what most people see as the value-play. I've eaten here twice, and while I'm reducing the snootiness of the post, both were, frankly, disasters. But I'm giving it a good review because the people, inexpensive drinks and authenticity of it are THAT good. Sure, service can be hit and miss and it can be loud, obnoxious and a bit rough around the edges, but if you're looking for one of the top dives in the city where it doesn't get jammed-packed and you can open a book and read/chat in obscurity, I think this is THE place. 4 out of 5.
Great place! Friendly staff. Dollar Coors light, Fast bomb food. When you order Cajun fries, they automatically bring out waffle fries. What's more to love?! 5 Stars all day.

What a nice surprise! Happened on this place at the end of our trip. It’s nothing special at first glance but the service was great and the food was, too. The bartender was a really nice guy with a great sense of humour. Cheers from your Canadian friends and Go Habs Go! XD
Great little local near the harbour. Great Guinness and only $6 for a true pint (20oz). And house darts available if you forget to bring your own.
An Tain is perhaps one of my favorite dive bars to go to in Boston. It is tucked away in the downtown financial area however it has perhaps some of the best drink prices. They have combination of whiskey shooters and beer for 10 dollars along with 1 dollar beer. No better deal in the city.
Never ate here, just had drinks. My buddy and I were from out of town and had a fantastic time with the local patrons. We drank brews, watched the Sox, and played cornhole. It was a pretty great night, will be back for the same experience!
One might call it a "Dive Bar" but instead it is a "Locals" bar. During my visit it was full of "Real" and interesting people, not "Suits". I would go back, have a beer and listen to the locals discuss a range of topics from politics, to sports, to movies.
Solid dive bar in the middle of the downtown area. Bartenders were cool as can be. Tom, is a cool dude..when I'm back in town gonna thank him for the solid recommendation Santapios pizza.
