Drinks are a central part of the experience. A.T.

The pub’s Back Bay position places it among the restaurants and bars of the Boylston Street area. Its location works well for visitors looking for a social stop in an active part of the city, particularly when a traditional pub menu and a bar-led atmosphere are more appealing than a quiet restaurant. The space also caters to late-night visits, with food service available into the evening and overnight period.
A.T. O’Keeffe’s can suit several types of outings. Friends can gather over shared drinks and substantial food, sports fans can use the bar setting for a game-day meet-up, and bourbon enthusiasts can explore the whiskey side of the menu.
