Sweeney's on Boylston

Set in Back Bay, the pub extends beyond its interior floors with a dog-friendly patio. The menu backs up the taps with tavern staples and distinct snacks, turning out fish and chips, corned beef sandwiches paired with thick curled potato fries, and sesame fried cauliflower with spicy kimchee dipping sauce. The atmosphere is warm and social, though indoor music and lively crowds often push the room to a noticeably loud volume.
