Real Irish in Back Bay

Saturday, June 17, 2006
Solas is an Irish Pub on Boylston Street, where the stuffy corporate atmosphere usually threatens any kind of variety among establishments. Not so with Solas. It is attached to the Lenox Hotel, but don't feel you have to be well dressed to enjoy some great Guinness or Smithwick's. Their spinach and artichoke dip is out of this world, with a dash of nutmeg on their pita chips. It tastes so much better than it sounds. Burgers and pub food is also good, and the Irish barstaff is pleasant. To go out for a smoke, they asked me to pay my tab...I guess they were worried that the guy without a suit might skip out on $12. Can't blame them.
