Durty Nelly’s

Durty Nelly’s on Blackstone Street spreads its pub life across two floors. Downstairs has the bar, while upstairs offers leather seating and views toward the Greenway. Guinness, Narragansett and Harpoon are among the beers, so you can keep the order simple and settle in for a conversation.

Cocktails give you a different direction, including an Irish whiskey mule with ginger beer, lime and rosemary. The Haymarket Lemonade uses strawberry and jalapeño tequila. Weekend live music is another reason to visit, with the upstairs room worth considering when planning the evening. The pub opens daily at 11 a.m. and stays open until 2 a.m., allowing for a daytime pint as well as a late night.
