When I heard this establishment was nearby, and given Good Will Hunting is a favorite of mine, I had to stop in. So glad a did. Great history and classic heritage here. No line, not too crowded, and my jack and coke was stellar. Was so happy to be there and can't wait to return.

Stopped here for the cinematic history. Its located in a nice neighborhood. The bartender shared the history of his family's ownership with us, which was a nice treat. Please note: They do not make fancy cocktails. They stick to shots or an alcohol paired with a juice or soda.

If you like apples you should come here, best apples in Boston. If you find it hard to hide the fact that you're gay, you can feel welcome here, because we don't care if you putt from the ruff. Sometimes in the bar ya start dancing and the music just owns ya like boom boom boom.

Wow if you are visiting South Boston this is a must! Owner is a great guy, feels like you are walking into your neighborhood bar. Beer is cold and friendliest service we received while in town.

I visited the L Street Tavern a few weeks back. This is a drink review only. I was more than satisfied. I came to L Street on a pub crawl I made up with daughter to visit Southie dives and bars from movies made in Boston. The L was featured in Good Will Hunting - one of the best Boston movies ever! The bottom line for the L is no complaints and a solid choice for a drink or three. The atmosphere was typical of a bar of this type. The service was better than average and friendly. The beer was cold and the whiskey pour was spot on. I would be happy to have a drink again here anytime.

Gum in my vodka soda. Disturbing. At least I think it's gum who even knows. And when I told the bartender he didn't even care. Got me another that was straight soda. Very disappointing

Great local bar. Even with it being known from outsiders because of Goodwill Hunting, locals still come by and hang. Generous pours during my visit & friendly conversation. Worth stopping by

Came here the night before and on St. Patrick's day and had a great time. The space is small but mighty, and the bar tenders were very attentive and helpful. Spent $23 on 2 High Noons but hey, welcome to Boston!

Quintessential Irish bar is what this is, stick to the beers & spirits, add one mixer to the spirits IF you must. Don't go and do something touristy and demanding like ordering a Mojito, smile. Great place, awesome atmosphere, lots of history, would recommend. Was a great Southie experience that I cherished.
