25 Best Dive Bars near Cambridge

“nice state park.lots of wild life to see.“

“Great place! Historical live music acts have played here for decades! great ownership! Great bartenders!“

“Took a minute to find the entrance after getting out of Lyft on Main St. Great environment once we got inside. Tons of pool tables, pinball, and other games. Music was great and drinks were well priced. Would definitely recommend if you’ve got a big group.“

“I love Hong Kong! Specifically Godzilla, BDYY, Shaun and Rob make the environment so much fun. Having a kind, funny, engaging staff can make or break a bar, and boy does it make this one. I’ve been going here as my weekend karaoke spot for over a year and it’s my favorite place to get a cheap well made drink and sing my heart out. If you’re lucky you get to hear some of the staff perform too (and yes. They’re better than all of us). Overall you should 100% check out this second floor bar. The people there rock.“

“Went for lunch because I wanted wings. They were fresh, cooked perfectly and well sauced. Classic buffalo flavor. My coworkers both had the grill chicken sandwich and both gave a resounding thumbs up. I feel like this place would be a good hang at night.“

“This was my Daughter's birthday weekend and we wanted to Take her to one of the places that Guy Fieri Visited for DDD...making memories. What we got was so much more. Truthfully the Best dining experience we have EVER experienced. The hostess was super friendly and immediately made accommodations due to the fact that I am currently in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was astonishing!!! The food...we truly cannot say enough good things about an are planning when to take the trip from Vermont again to get more. We were blown away . However the highlight of our evening hands down was our Server Kevin!!! He made my Daughter's night ...focused on making her smile and gave her a piece of cheesecake to celebrate. We will remember this forever and simply cannot thank you enough“

“A bar dedicated to my favorite poet? It was a no-brainer that I was gonna love this place. Might add, one of the best Guinness pours I’ve ever had. Perfect!“

“Murph was absolutely phenomenal. Great bar. Way better than Lyla’s. Layla’s is touristy and over priced. Come here. Great service and the bar you are looking for. Ally on my second service and got us paper towels, took care of us got us drinks when needed. COME HERE.“

“Everybody needs to have a great dive bar. THIS IS IT! Long bar with comfy stools. Lots of seating and standing room along the other side of the room. Limited (but too limited) selection of beers and alcohol which makes it easy to pick one without taking too much time. Bar staff have been around and seen some shit and they aren't going to put up with you're bullshit. They are very nice and super efficient, but they have people to serve. The prices are GREAT, incredible for downtown Boston. I love everything about this place.“

“Great menu, atmosphere, staff, and drinks! Excited to see some life back in the place.“

“Been here on a pinch between trains or busses several times. I never review shit. I came in today and just realized how much I appreciate this place. Always clean and friendly. Accessible beer selection. Buffalo Wings were my ideal Wings style. Sauce carried heat but full of flavor. Breaded and it works for that sauce.

Service was incredible. Was some locals and college kids present for sure. No blink of an eye, whole place was supreme.“

“The best bar in Dorchester! I was visiting the neighborhood on a Sat. night from out of town, and the bartender and clientele were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even brought in pizza from next door and shared it with everyone. :)

Thank you for your generosity!“

“Great gathering spot or just a place to hang and enjoy“

“Romantic atmosphere, stylish interior, rooftop“

“One of my new favorites places and hidden gems in Quincy. Found this place by running into one of the bartenders at Sly Fox. Thanks Lisa! :) The owners Tony and Jodi (I think lol) are very friendly. Lisa is the friendliest bartender and nicest person in the world. The customers seem to all know each other.“

“A very cool dive bar of the highest order. Oldschool (Cash Only!), cool bartender (sorry I forgot your name, dude - 09/11), with a great jukebox for good measure. If you want to avoid the hipster joints, give them your money!“

“While the selection of alcohol is limited, the prices are STELLAR! Everyone was super friendly to me as a brand new person first time visiting. Steve at the bar was great and attentive. The regulars started chatting with me right away. I couldn't ask for a better corner neighborhood hang out. It ain't fancy, but it feels like hanging out at a friends rec room. LOVE IT.“

“I was given the task of delivering a ring to a certain mountain. My guide directed me to this tavern. Although myself and my companions were initially taken back by the rowdy bawdy chaotic nature of such a place we settled in quite nicely. Even met a nice fellow by the name of Strider, he set us up right proper. The mean folks that were following us didn't even catch up to us 'cause of him. AND, our guide finally caught up to us... Great place, id like to return“

“THE MUSIC THE BAR AND THE PEOPLE.“

“There’s always a line but the line goes pretty fast! Their food was fresh and delicious, I got Eggs Benedict that came with a side of potatoes. Potatoes were very salty to me but the eggs Benedict was perfect! Loved their hollandaise sauce.
All of their waiters were very nice and friendly, took our orders correctly.“

“This is a great neighborhood bar. While we didn't eat, we saw quite a few plates pass by and were very impressed. The drinks were great and the staff very friendly. Perfect spot to watch sports and especially the Detroit Lions as they have Lions watch parties for every game!“

“The Best in Boston especially when a certain bartender you all know is working“

“Stopped in for the first time tonight and everything was great but Cameron who wasn’t our server but was bopping around ensuring everyone was having a great experience was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond and she is the reason I will be back and whenever I have friends In town this will be our spot. Thank you Cameron for your service and dedication to your company. I truly appreciate you!“

“(Translated by Google) Very good, the music ? very good, and the attention, but hopefully we don't have to remind the waitresses of the returns.(Original)Muy bien, la música ? muy buena, y la atención, pero ojalá que no haya que recordarle a las meseras las devueltas.“

“The place to go for bruins and Celtics pre game“
