Voted one of America's top ten Irish Establishments: The Black Rose, Established in 1976 by the Glynn Hospitality Group is located in the historic Faneuil Hall-Quincy market area of Boston.

The menu features honest made-from-scratch food including: traditional Irish fare, award winning clam chowder, fish and chips, native lobster, aged black angus cuts of beef and of course Mother Sweeney's corned beef, founded by Mother Sweeney, himself. The Black Rose has offered live Irish music seven nights a week for over 25 years. Memorable guests on stage have included members of the Chieftains, flutist James Galway, Tommy Makim, Liam Clancy, John Denver and a once relatively unknown member of an Irish rock group called U2.
