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.
