The pub was first opened in 2017 by Irishman Tommy McCarthy and is known for its live music shows. McCarthy also owns another Boston Irish pub, The Burren.

Of Springsteen’s surprise visit, McCarthy told News7 Boston: “He came in here and sat under the John Lennon picture. No one really bothered them.”

McCarthy said Springsteen, whose son attended the local Boston College, didn’t perform during the visit.

“He enjoyed the music, had a couple of drinks, we shook hands, and he was on his way.”

“He said he’d like to stop by again when he’s in town. It was all positive.”

McCarthy added: “The reason why I opened The Bebop was because of the location for the music.” The Bebop is located nearby to the prestigious Berklee College of Music.

“Both my wife and I are musicians, so to have Bruce Springsteen pop in was pretty amazing, you know? We were quite surprised.”
