Dropkick Murphys' James Lynch's favorite pubs

1. O'Malley's
A bar in Allston’s Union Square (no longer in business)

Prior to the bar's closing, Lynch would stop into O'Malley's for a pint and a chat with the owner, Red Bentley.

“R.I.P. The perfect bar as far as I was concerned. Once you spent enough time at O'Malley's it kind of became a part of you. There was very much a family thing that went on there: from people's birthdays to arguing about the Christmas decorations. I miss it more than I probably should. Not to mention, barely any natural light made it through the bars on those tiny windows."
