Durty Nelly’s

Proper pint. Served in a Guinness glass. Hard to believe you have to say that, but I've had bubbly topped Guinness in an unbranded short pint glass before. Close to Canopy if you're staying there. Loved the windows that opened up too. Just a good dive bar. Good for drinking. Their well Chardonnay was LaCrema too. That's a nice score for my gal.

I've been to Durty Nelly's a few times, day and night, and love it every time I go. No frills, but a solid spot that's relatively tourist free. I've found the bartenders to be efficient and fun to be around and the place to have a great atmosphere with AWESOME music playing. No food here, but a great spot for pre or post dinner drinks - and the Guinness was PERFECT, one of the best pours I've ever had. A place I'll continue to go whenever I'm in Boston/the North End.

What a welcome sight for tourists who tend to be annoyed by other tourists. It was a relief to find a cool dark place to escape the heat while waiting for a dinner rez at the 200 year old Union Oyster House. At the small bar there were 3 other guys besides us who, to set the scene, I've decided were retired homicide detectives. All over the bar, police patches from literally everywhere. A couple TVs, I think. The bartender, per my imagination and right out of central casting, was a former outlaw biker who decided to leave the life and take a day job. I really don't know because he didn't say much, but he was there when our glasses were empty. 5 stars for doing what other people are complaining about.

Local police bar/dive bar. Not recommended for tourists. Staff probably won't be nice to ya unless you're a familiar face. I've been a few times and still don't get the red carpet haha Only been in a few times for a quick blast, not the spot to hang all night. Go find a different bar to watch your non-NE sports at. Had a nice bartender last time I was in. Keep your convos brief and drink orders simple and you'll be alright, if you insist on going in. If you're LE or FD or military, you'll like this spot. If you're a tourist from california, this might not be the bar for you.

For the best Green tea shots go see Owen. We spent 5 days in Boston and wanted to find a dive bar where locals would go. This is by far the best. Good people, good drinks & just a down to earth atmosphere. Thank you Owen for taking care of us.

My favorite place in Boston! Great hometown pub where they actually know you. They play great music also. The bartender great guy and he knows how to pull a beer and mix a drink. Definitely a local bar so if your from out of town don't show it here by asking the bartender to change a Boston Bruins game to some random Wisconsin game. Yes that actually happened. Props to the bartender who handled it well.

In Boston for a couple days and wanted to grab drinks somewhere laid back rather than fancy. Found this place on Yelp and got confirmation from a buddy going to school out here that this was a good spot. It's small.. but had an Irishman playing guitar and singing (boom). But it was the owner who made the night for us. I'm not even going to try to spell her name but she was great! Had a group of women with me and she made sure the male patrons were all respectful at all times while still being the life of the party. What was supposed to be a drink to end the night turned into several drinks and a memorable evening. We'll be back the next time in Boston for sure.

Disgusting Guinness. I don't think they clean the pipes. True hole in the wall, not in a good way. Dirty, bugs everywhere. Rude staff.

I went to this establishment last night with a few friends, a friend we were with had gone here before when he visited Boston before and like it so much he also got merch. So he suggested we go here for our first night in Boston being we're from Connecticut and came for the weekend. We came here twice last night, the first time we came In was a nice experience we decided to leave and explore around Boston. We came back a bout 2 hours later and that was terrible experience. My friends went in to get drinks i stood out side with my boyfriend and sat down cause we had been walking majority the day. My friend told us to come in cause they got the drinks, the security guy was very rude he told me I wasn't allowed in due to the fact I was to intoxicated, which I wasn't I told him I'm not and i wasn't going to be partaking in drinking anyways and explained that I been walking all day. So I was tired he still refused as other people that were belligerent he allowed in while trying to arguing with me when I'm speaking to him calmly. My friends explain the same thing to the security that I was he than proceeded to push up and get in my boyfriends face. My friends explain that's they don't feel comfortable leaving me outside alone in a city I don't know, I'm a petite 4'11 woman. He said he didn't care I was a liability walking in there. He starts getting loud and very rude with my friends just trying to explain what's going on as the have already got there drinks and the bartender a heavier set man starts to cuss at the am and the them telling them to get the fuck out. The service was horrific. There were other costumers confused on the incident agreeing with me being fine and talking calmly while he was the person that began to get loud and angry. Either way terrible experience and service wouldn't come here again or ever recommend it.

Great ambience, drinks, food and service. Fun place to go on a trip to Boston.Right on the waterfront.
