Harp

It's really a shame that one tiny bartender who tried to run a credit card scam could ruin the last days of this place. I wanted to support this renowned establishment until the end but was threatened with arrest for calling out the fact that the bartender was drunk when she "lost" a patrons credit card. UPDATE: I changed 1 star to 5. Water under the bridge, the establishment has changed owners. The Revelry next door bought the place and the legacy lives on. Life goes on.

It's got a nice ambience, the bartenders are friendly and laid back, they have darts and ping pong as well as a couple of video games so there's something to do while drinking. Drinks are also pretty reasonably priced and their draft beer selection is small but excellent. I hope whoever purchases the place will keep it as is.

Visiting from Texas for a conference, my wife and I wanted to experience a Celtics game. After unsuccessfully​ being able to buy Tix on StubHub, we walked in and asked the bouncer if he knew anyone selling ligit tickets for the game. He called someone over that he felt confident had the tickets that we wanted. After some negotiating... I purchased 2 Tix for a hundred bucks at halftime. Well, the tickets were bogus. With our tails between our legs, we walked back to the Harp bar to watch the 2nd half of the game. Our story got back to the Bouncer who had left for the evening. He returned 45 mins later and handed me my $100 bucks! He wouldn't say no to my not taking the money. I tried to tip him back a portion of the cash... his response was no sir! (That's a Texas response or so I thought) I took back the Hundred and I told him I would only take back the money if he could get it back from the rotten dog that screwed us. He assured me he would. My Texas wife and I partied with the patrons of the bar and the fans who came in after the game! Only in a Texas bar would we feel so much warmth....We had so much fun! I highly recommend the Harp bar to everyone that wants to experience a place where you can have a great time! Use our story as a conversation piece as we want this to go viral! By the way... We're from Houston and are very happy that the Patriots won the Superbowl! Thank you Everyone from the Harp Bar across the street from the Garden! Jeff and Rene! Hook em! PS... We did top the Bouncer $40 bucks when we left by way of the bartenders and told management about our incident and the promised to take care of him.... Just sayin!
