I love this place. Mind you, I don't "do" pubs, but Sonny has THE best fried clams with bellies west of the Rockies. Everyone, including the servers, seemed to be having a wonderful time every time I've been there. So if you're at all interested in fried clams with bellies, or even just looking for a fun place to have a brew, I'd recommend Sonny's.

Even Boston fans can be friendly. Best night of the week.....Wednesdays. The world famous Misfits rule the joint and Rob has the most complete Kareoke collection. Joe Cocker has been known to visit and you never know when its going to be a 'Nuggest-fest". Jim, Mike and Stacey are great hosts.

This place is not a legal pub, they serve 16oz glasses calling them pints when 20oz's is the legal standard pint.- Expensive, expensive, expensive and they want they're 15% tips on top of their expensive prices. If you want a drink that is a legal pub, it has to serve 20oz as a pint for example. Don't get ripped off here.

This is a "Boston" bar - i.e. the TVs are always tuned to the Red Sox and its packed for Patriots games. If you are a Yankee fan stay away (not kidding). The food is very average except that they have good New England style fried clams. Has a good pool table and 3 golden tees, air hockey and pop a shot. Great staff.

Exactly what you would want/expect out of an Irish pub.

I love this place! Check out the Irish Nachos or the Lobster Salad - real lobster, real big salad. Nice, laid back atmosphere, pool, darts, air hockey, tv monitors everywhere. Westside crowd without the westside attitude. Parking is so-so, but you can park at the bank next door once it closes.

It's an okay pub, but pretty much a sports bar for those on the West Side. Good pint of Ginness, though, and a bit of the ol' "craic" (Irish Gaelic for "fun"), with the friendly feel of a neighborhood meeting place. Thankfully, its natural ambience lacks the overdone set design atmosphere so popular with reproduction Irish pubs here in America. Has more the personality of Belfast than Dublin.
