A.T. O'Keeffe's Irish Pub & Bourbon Club

A.T. O’Keeffe’s occupies a Boylston Street address with more than one chapter in Back Bay’s bar scene. The business presents itself as a successor to McGreevy’s, known for its mix of pub and sports, and now adds a bourbon club to its Irish identity. The menu goes beyond a pint: it lists burgers, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, and truffle mac and cheese, alongside local and imported beers and a bourbon selection. For people exploring the neighborhood at night, the kitchen adds pizza from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., though it is best to confirm kitchen service before planning a late meal.

The official website lists daily hours from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., along with the address, phone number, and food and drink menus. Google reviews for this location often mention bartenders, a pub atmosphere, and the option to watch sports; some visitors say the room gets louder during games or music. The best fit therefore depends on the occasion: a quieter conversation at the bar can feel different from a soccer night. We could not verify pub-managed parking on the official website, so drivers should check garages and local restrictions separately.

Back Bay combines sightseeing, shopping, and residential streets. The city highlights Boylston and Newbury as major corridors alongside historic buildings, hotels, shops, and cultural spaces. A.T. O’Keeffe’s sits on Boylston, between Copley Square and the Hynes Convention Center area. The Green Line serves nearby stations; the MBTA trip planner can help choose the right stop for your starting point, and the final walk is along an active city avenue rather than a suburban stretch. For groups wanting a game on screen or a celebration, the pub’s website also offers event inquiries.

The contrast with Sweeney’s, a few blocks away, lies in the emphasis: O’Keeffe’s foregrounds sports, bourbon, pub food, and late-night service, while the Lenox presents its pub as part of a hotel and Copley Square outing. If Guinness is the goal, ask what is currently on tap; the website describes its drinks program, but no draft should be assumed available at every moment. Check the menu and kitchen hours before arriving late, and consider the expected noise level if you want a date-night conversation.
