Doyle's Cafe

Doyle's Cafe

Doyle's Cafe is a bar / restaurant located on Washington Street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Doyle's Cafe was established in 1882 and is located near the Samuel Adams Brewery. Its close proximity to the Samuel Adams Brewery affords Doyle's the unique opportunity to serve new or experimental Samuel Adams beers.^[1] It is also where Samuel Adams Boston Lager was first put on tap. Throughout its history, Doyle's has been known as a favorite watering hole for both local and national politicians. On St. Patrick's Day in 1988, Senator Ted Kennedy helped dedicate a new room at the location to his maternal grandfather, John F. Fitzgerald.^[2]

Boston musician Rick Berlin is currently employed at Doyle's Cafe.

Given its historic look and atmosphere, the Irish pub has been used in several Hollywood movies and television series. The location was used for scenes in Mystic River and a local bartender who appeared in the movie eventually moved to California to pursue acting.^[3] Shots of the exterior of the building have been used in the television series Boston Public.^[3] The pub has also appeared in movies such as 21 (2008 film), Celtic Pride, Mystic River (film), and The Brink's Job.^[1]
