One of the best local pubs I’ve been to flying out of Logan stopped to visit. My niece came to Jeannie’s ordered some food but the grill was not on the owner. Hank said if you’ll be here a while, I’ll fire it up and cook for you. it doesn’t get any better, the food is fantastic as well as the selection of adult beveragesCan’t wait to stop back gotta try the chili.Thanks Hank

The owners have quoted that they ACTIVELY refuse to serve tap water for free. THEY REQUIRE you pay for bottle water. Thinking patrons drinking don’t deserve to be hydrated. Bar tenders have been threatened to be fired if they serve tap water for free.

Never again.

My friends of color call this "the racist place". On multiple occasions we have experienced microagressions directed towards us by multiple employees. If you are not white, be prepared to be treated rudely. Even though the food was good, we will but be going back.

They won’t serve tap water because of their “strict rule”. They’ll only sell you a water bottle for $2

I tried this place back in Jun’23 and I ordered a beer and fries. Food, drinks and serving were great! At the end I noticed someone coming out of the kitchen really sick and a week later I got covid for the first time in my life. Worst part was my pregnant wife also got it from me and the symptoms hit us pretty bad. It took us several weeks to get back to our normal selves. I was all thinking of possible places I could’ve gotten it from but can’t think of any other source where we could’ve gotten it from.

They are RACIST and XENOPHOBIC!!!! They checked our Mexican IDs at the entrance and let us in. After the second round I went to the bar to ask for drinks and after hearing me speaking Spanish the racist bartender asked me for my ID. Our american friends were able to get drinks without being carded inside so it was clear our talking Spanish was why this racist ask for it AGAIN. When he saw my Mexican iD he kicked us out. When I argued he said “welcome to America” and then said we had to get out of we didn’t have an american ID, didn’t even take a passport. Don’t go to this place if you care at all about going to a place that is safe for all nationalities. Never been so disrespected.

A bartender at this place heard my friends speaking Spanish, asked for her ID, and then KICKED HER OUT after seeing that her id is from Mexico while saying “welcome to America” Boston did just pass a law requiring passports in bars for international folks. HOWEVER they let us in, I ordered drinks speaking English with no problem, and it was only after my friend spoke Spanish and kissed her fiancé (a woman) that they refused them service and kicked them out of the bar. Seeing the other reviews it looks like the bartenders regularly refuse to serve lgbt folks and immigrants. Unacceptable.

I hope you take action with the racist and xenophobic bar tender who is taking advantage of rules. The law says that if you are not from the US you need a passport. They kicked us out because we didn't have an American ID saying: Welcome to America. F***** up
