Im from Arizona and a huge Patriots fan! I went to Massachusetts to see the Patriots play the Ravens this last year in Dec 2016. I went all over Boston my first day off the plane and my last stop was at the L Street Tavern. My friends, who were locals, told me Id love it and explained its history to me. That was all cool and enjoyed myself however something more magical happened to me there that night... I literally met the love of my life Patrick Breen. I went up to the bar for my last Jameson before I left. I just so happened to grab a dollar out of my wallet instead of a $20 and I hear this voice from the side say.. " What kinda deal do you got going on to get a Jameson for a dollar?" I looked over and thought I was gonna choke on my own voice so I just smiled at this extremely handsome Irish guy. Later in the evening he headed out the door after exchanging only a few flirty smiles with me. I looked at my friends and was like.. "should I go pull a hallmark movie scene and kiss this guy?" My friends just laughed and said " Its your vacation!" So I follow him out and he was gone!! I looked down all the streets but couldnt see him anywhere. I came back into the bar and my friend asked what happened and I told them. My girlfriend just says " maybe hes not the one." I kid you not a few moments later he comes walking back in with the amazing crooked smile. At that point I had to go up to him. I tapped on his shoulder, asked if hed come talk to me outside he said "Absolutely!" I took him right out from under the shamrock and explained why I was in Massachusetts and finally just said.."I really just wanna do this" and I kissed him. We kissed for a what felt like forever and then smiled at eachother and went back inside. He told me he was probably never gonna see me again considering I live in Arizona, but I gave him my number anyways and said "You never know." Only because I knew I had to come back every year to see this amazing city I fell in love with. Well we talked for 2 and a half weeks every night for 7 hours and right after Christmas he got a one way ticket to Arizona and hes been with me ever since. Ive never been happier in my life. I love your bar and everything about it. But there is a magic there for sure that I will forever believe in. Thank you for bringing me to the love of my life! Mags

This was on my bucket list of places to go when I visited Boston in September 2012. I am a super huge fan of Good Will Hunting so this was a must! And I must say, I was not disappointed in the least. Driving through Southie was amazing, I felt like I was in the movie and I was actually quite surprised when I saw the outside of the L Street Tavern, having had a facelift since the movie was made. I was almost scared it was not the same place but when i walked inside, I was estatic. It looked exactly how it did in the movie! Also I loved the movie memorablia that adorned the tables. My boyfriend and I sat at the table behind where Matt and Ben made their famous scene. We had a few pints of Samuel Adams and enjoyed listening to the crowd, especially a group of several guys from Ireland who were standing behind us at the bar! The bartender was excellent, so nice and friendly! There is nothing bad I can say about this place... its a great little neighbourhood bar, nothing fancy but a real nice local. Thank you for making my Boston trip complete! I love your city and your L Street Tavern!

Great place to visit and full of history. The bartender was awesome and kept our drinks full the entire time we were there and answered any and all questions we had about the area while also helping other visitors.

I liked it much better before the neighborhood changed. Now the people that go here are obnoxious and loud, and I dont enjoy it at all. Stopped going.
