The vibe

Celebrating 25 years in Brighton, Devlin's is one of the neighborhood's most beloved gastropubs — far from a standard sports bar. The eclectic menu spans Korean BBQ beef, lamb shank curry, bison bolognese, and a raw bar, with a Sunday Jazz Brunch that draws a loyal following. The happy hour $1 oysters and $1 dumplings deal is among the most generous in the Allston / Brighton area. Set in a warm, comfortable dining room and patio with strong creative cocktails.
