L Street Tavern

A local favorite, L Street Tavern is tucked away off the beaten track in South Boston or “Southie” if you watch any movie based in Boston. Untouched by the rustle and bustle of constant tourists this Irish pub is a local hidden gem.

This is an Irish pub where you know what you’ll get with good fun, good food and good times. As well as all that goodness, L Street Tavern is also famed with being a pub featured in the Oscar-winning movie Good Will Hunting, so “how do you like them apples.”

“Atmosphere= A+ (the jukebox was a big hit). Service= A+ the bartender was quite friendly and had the fireball flowing. Value was it was very good. I am glad to give this place a 5-star rating. Thanks L Street I’ll be back!”

“Good spot. The bartender was great, the other customers were friendly, prices were reasonable, and it had a very Boston feel to it. We went because it was the spot where Good Will Hunting was filmed.”
