This inconspicuous bar doesn’t stand out on busy Centre Street, but it’s one of the few traditional Irish pubs left in Boston. There’s no DJ and no Guitar Hero championships and unless there’s a game on, don’t expect to watch TV while you drink. For entertainment, chat with the bartender and the Behan’s regulars. That’s how they’d do it in Ireland, so that’s how it’s done at the Behan.
