The Grand Canal could be the most elegant of all of Boston's Irish pubs. The darkness of most Irish bars is replaced here by soft red walls, high ceilings and a crackling fireplace. The full service bar, which has a wide selection of draft beer, is always busy before and after Celtics and Bruins home games. The menu offers standard pub grub as well as Irish specialties such as corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, and bangers and mash. The pub has live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
