The linchpin in Davis Square's revitalized nightlife... - Digital City - suggest change
Yet another Irish bar for Somerville, the Burren adds little to an already saturated genre. - CitySearch - suggest change

I love the Burren Excellent atmosphere and always a good time. The Burren has two rooms the front with a small irish band and a back room with the band of the night. The crowd is always good although it can get a little crowded so get there early in order to have a booth. The bartenders are all very friendly. [19 Jul 2003 18:55:14]

Authentic and Fun Yeah, there are lots of Irish bars in Boston and environs, but this one stands out for its authenticity and comfort. It is relaxed, a little old fashioned with great,live, Irish music. The music seems pretty impromptu, though they have rigged up a microphone to pipe the music through the front bar, you never know who you'll see, maybe a local or maybe some touring sensation from Ireland.
The food is pretty good, (nothing exciting, just pub food,) and the place is always lively.
The drawbacks are its noise and the prepodnderance of Tufts students, a particularly dull class of student. The bar is entirely wood so the sound echos and reverberates around, it is hard to hear yourself think sometimes. [12 Sep 2003 14:27:35]
