The Eire Pub is an Irish pub in Dorchester, Massachusetts, U.S., located at 795 Adams Street.

President Ronald Reagan and then future president Bill Clinton both visited the pub; since then, stopping at Eire Pub has become a superstition for political candidates hoping to follow in Reagan and Clinton's footsteps.[1][2] Bertie Ahern, the then-Prime Minister of Ireland, visited the pub in 2008.[3]

Martin Nicholson, bartender at the Eire Pub for 33 years, retired in 2010.[4]
