A neighborhood staple, the Irish Village has been a Brighton landmark since the early 1970's. Originally owned by Peter Lee, a Galway native new to America, the Irish Village offered other Irish immigrants a taste of home. The warm and welcoming atmosphere quickly drew in others of non-Irish descent, turning the Irish Village into a neighborhood pub in the truest sense. The IV team led by veteran bartender Kieran "Hammer" delivers all the warmth and hospitality that you would expect from an Irish pub and great local bar. Kieran is especially proud of the perfect pints of Guinness that the bar is known for throughout the Boston area. More recently the IV has added delicious "toastie" cheese sandwiches that pair nicely with a fresh pint.
