Great beer selection on tap, nice patio in summer, and great prices. From students to locals an overall popular place to get a drink or watch a game.

A gem where you can find all the diff kinds of people that Cambridge has to offer. Very cheap. Friendly waitstaff. Lots of beers. The melty grilled cheese is my fave for dipping into tomato soup! Nom

Love the staff beer samplers! Fried mozzarella is a tasty and decadent appetizer, also get the tremendous swordfish tips entree when it's available. Marinated in pesto and olive oil, it's fantastic!

They feature new kitchen specials on Thursday and I have yet to be disappointed. In fact, I dream of their specials. They've been so good! (Please bring back chicken piccata)

Don't forget to check the specials, they never disappoint! Take this goat cheese stuffed tortellini with grilled chorizo and broccoli…

Great beer selection with frequently rotating taps, but meh food (though the specials can be quite good and the veggie and black bean burgers are better-than-average).

Beer flights and a cool unfiltered unpasteurized ale avaable at the bar. Great for game watching - a big projection screen in the dining room.

I like almost everything but Beer, Frozen mudslide, mac n cheese bites, and southern fried chicken are my favorites

Excellent buffalo wings, garlic fries and sweet potato fries. We didn’t care much for the cheese nachos nor the Cesar salad.

Veggie burgers are great, not a lot of other vegetarian options, though. I've also enjoyed the southwestern quesadilla without chicken.

A wonderful place to hang out, with generally friendly and accommodating staff (and there's rarely a wait).

The Baja Burger is amazing. And the selection of beers, especially the specials they have every night, is great.

Served in a 20 oz. "Hurricane" glass, sips of this very spicy Bloody will reveal a zesty kind of flavor, from the peppadew pepper-infused vodka and an array of pickled veggies. Read more

Nice bar food for low prices!
LauraOctober 19, 2011
It's not on the menu, but your server can bring caramel sauce, ranch dressing and/or chocolate sauce for your sweet potato fries. Enjoy with a local brew. Happy dipping!
Sabrina MJuly 21, 2013
Try the Seafood Paella - Quite salty, but still good. Even better with hot sauce. My first time eating mussels, and I quite enjoyed them.
Tracy SpetkaMarch 28, 2012
The pitcher of beer punch can easily be split in two. Great brunch here, or if you're looking for apps, I love the chicken nachos!
Kevin HJuly 17, 2011
Awesome beer selection (and great staff who knows all about it & can help novices like me) + great burgers. Oh, and fried pickles. Get fried pickles.
Lauren ChristopherJanuary 18, 2017
Great beer selection and have good burgers. Plus, they make a mean hard apple cider.
