Jessica HiemenzOctober 8, 2012Lots if vegan and vegetarian options. The chili is vegan on the nachos.
Peet SnackMarch 22, 2014Bathrooms here are unisex, so if you are a douche about gender politics, you probably shouldn't go poopies here.
Grendel's DenFebruary 28, 2012The people at Foursquare hi-jacked Grendel's Venue page to advertise a check-in special that they are running which misleads people into thinking that Grendel's has a $10 rebate, which is not true.
AndrewAugust 9, 2015PRO TIP: When a waitress asks you if you're just drinking or going to eat, don't eat there.

Try their Hot Rum Cider! Only in fall and winter! It is amazing!
Always have a 1/2 litter of Paulaner or Franziskaner...unless they don't have it on tap...
As the mayor I advise you to tip well. You will be rewarded.
Boston PhoenixMarch 18, 2011If Beowulf showed up, [the bartender] would be like, 'Dude, take that metal armor off. It's not OK to wear that in the bar' ... Then he'd say, 'OK, what do you want?' " Read more
So beware, if you eat outside during happy hour they charge you full price. Oh and don't expect the waitress to tell you this...even after the bill is dropped off.
this place always has a great Friday play list from bartender BK!!
...have a dark and stormy. Plus, the lobster rolls (specials: 9/11) are the best in harvard square.
Half-priced MENU with a $3 drink purchase - food isn't great but it's CHEAP. Crab and artichoke and spinach dip is suuuuper good.
Keith BitelyAugust 12, 2013Such slow service. Some of us have to actually get back to work after our lunch hour. Waited half hour for check, never came. Left estimate of bill on table. Hope nobody stole it.
Ryan CurtisJune 3, 2010One is the few places in Boston with a sazerac cocktail on the menu don't pass it up
Pete BorschMay 23, 2012The service was slow (only one person working) and I didn't like the food (French Dip was terrible). Looks like a great place to drink though
Chris EustaceFebruary 12, 2010Irish coffee is strong but. The whip cream is homemade thus not that sweet
Avoid the nachos. The topping to chip ratio is way out of whack and the guac isn't great.
