Sevens Ale House (known colloquially as The Sevens) [1] is a public house in the heart of the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Located at 77 Charles Street, [2] it has been in operation since 1933. [3]
The pub has a distinctive silver beer stein on its overhead sign on the building's front. [3] The establishment is also notable for being one of the few remaining with a dart board. [3] [4]
Bartender John Martin has worked at the pub since the mid-1990s. Around that time, in 1994, the pub won the "Best Neighborhood Bar" award from Best of Boston. [5] "Sunday through Friday, it's a locals bar. Saturdays are for the tourists," Martin said in 2021.
Harpoon Brewery brews a "Sevens Ale" specifically for the pub. Sevens Ale House was one of the brewery's first two accounts upon its foundation in 1986. [6] [7]
On June 2, 2017, Harrison Ford visited the pub, [8] which is part of the Beacon Hill Business Association. [9]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the business was closed for the 15-month period between March 2020 and June 2021.
