THe Union Oyster House is the oldest continuously operated restaurant in the United States. It opened in 1826. According to the Boston CBS website it is also one of Boston's best haunted bars. It is said to be haunted by the ghost of President John F. Kennedy, who was a frequent patron of the establishment and had his own booth here. I visited on a busy Saturday. I'm sure the noisy crowd in the restaurant would have deterred any ghostly apparations.

The ghost of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy Jr. is said to inhabit and haunt the walls of this fine dining establishment, which happened to be one of his favorites in life. Patrons claim to encounter the man’s ghost haunting both the dining and restroom areas. As one of the oldest restaurants in America, a place like Union Oyster House is bound to have some history buried deep within its proverbial roots, and the staff here knows it, doing its best to amp up and sell the restaurant’s history and haunted reputation. Clam chowder lovers should know the Union Oyster House’s brand has earned its fair share of admirers, despite the Oyster House’s reputation as a tourist trap.
