The Boston Bar New Town is an Irish-American inspired pub at 104 Hanover Street in central Edinburgh. Spread across two levels, it combines casual food with live sport, intimate gigs and late night entertainment, creating a lively setting for groups as well as daytime meals.
Small plates draw on bar food from both sides of the Atlantic, with chicken wings, smoky pork ribs, hot links, Cajun shrimp and seasoned corn ribs designed for sharing. Sauces such as hot honey, Jameson glaze, buffalo and spicy barbecue give the selection its bold character.
Larger dishes include an Irish spice bag, loaded fries, mac and cheese, nachos and burgers built around beef, fried chicken or halloumi. Weekend breakfast dishes and a Sunday roast extend the menu beyond evening service, while vegetarian choices are available among both the snacks and mains.
Beer, whiskey, cocktails and soft drinks accompany a programme of live music and televised sport. The energetic atmosphere suits a social meal, though guests with allergies should check the current menu and speak with staff because gluten, dairy, nuts and shared frying may be relevant.
