There's a tiny, dark and foul-smelling pub in
Boston's
Jamaica Plain neighborhood named after
Brendan Behan. It serves one of the best tasting and cheapest pints of
Guinness in the city, both superlatives probably due to high sales volume.
The Brendan Behan is owned by Gerry Brennan, and hosts live
Irish music
jam sessions Thursday nights. When there's nothing live, they often play outstanding
electronic music.
In my highly subjective opinion, it's one of the best pubs in Boston. Boston Magazine agrees, and rated it the Best Irish Bar in Boston for 1990, 1991, and 1994.
The Behan was used as a set for the film The Patriot, according to Yankee Brew News (http://www.yankeebrew.com/20thCentury/199503/behan.html)
