30 Best Gastropubs near Cambridge

“Extremely cozy ambiance in your classic dark lighting interior with lots of exposed brickwork and music playing at just the right volume. Service was excellent and two of my party enjoyed a couple of very well made cocktails but on this visit I opted for a can of beer . Prices were about right for the quality of the cocktails but a little steep for a can of beer . Would definitely visit again when I have more time to stay later and get a little more relaxed.“

“Amazing local brewery in Cambridge conveniently located close to Kendall Square. The local is modern and beautifully decorated. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Great food is proposed with a large variety of homemade draft beers. Definitely a must go in the area!“

“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!“

“My nonprofit group enjoyed a private party at Tokenfire. The hot appetizers were a great start to the party, with meatballs, pork dumplings, the best brussel sprouts and savory flatbreads. We enjoyed the authentic Shepherds Pie, perfectly grilled salmon, and a vegetarian pasta dish. Dessert, including a fig bread pudding with salted caramel gelato and tiramisu was fabulous. The service was excellent and the ambiance was delightful. I hope to return when they have live music.“

“Non rushed long lunch. My short rib grilled cheese was huge and delicious. Enough leftover for tomorrow. The French fries were some of the best ever- served in a cute metal basket. Excellent service. My pomegranate margarita was nice - not the best I ever had. I'll be back“

“What a wonderful experience! The food and service were both outstanding. Nick, our server was very attentive, but did not hover. Food was hot and delicious. Drinks were a generous pour and good value. The owner, Michael, stopped by to make sure everything was good. Friendly and accommodating, he made us feel very much welcomed. Be sure to get his mother's recipe Brandee for desert. I and all in our party look forward to returning again soon!“

“Love this place, food is superb. I've been making my way through the menu, and I've yet to find anything that hasn't been terrific. Highly recommend the Hot Chicken Sandwich, all the eggrolls, and the HUGE salads.

Bartender is always great, courteous, and makes a great cocktails.

Would go out of my way to stop in here, if it wasn't already a new regular spot for me.“

“Great food great drink and beer list. Awesome place. We’ve been 3 times in the last month and can’t wait to go back“

“The atmosphere, decor and vibe is pretty awesome. It was quite busy at 3pm on a Saturday but we were sat and attended to quickly. We ordered 3 salads - Thai salad, Caesar and Cobb salad. They were good , not mind blowing great but above average. The raw green beans and roasted chickpeas were a little odd for a Cobb salad for my personal taste but the chicken was phenomenal.“

“Good brunch good service m!“

“Excellent vibe, great food selection and cold Guinness 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I liked the burger. Truffle Gorgonzola fries were ok— I liked the fries, but didn’t really like the sauce. Stomach felt a little funny after, but not sure if that was the burger or fries.

Food came quick. Space was clean and small but not crowded.

Parking lot out back had multiple spaces available and was $1.35/hr. There’s some 2 hr free spots a few blocks down but you have to parallel park. Some 1 hr free spots closer to the restaurant but those were almost all taken Saturday lunch hour.“

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!“

“In for a college visit with my daughter and was staying at the Marriott across the street. Got in late and wanted something fast. Walked and was greeted warmly. Amazing burgers. Highly recommend!“

“AMAZING atmosphere!!! AMAZING service!!!! AMAZING food!!! Seriously run to grab a bite here and ask for Sara as your waitress!! The burratta was Michelin star worthy. The best bite of food that I have ever had.“

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!“

“I really liked the PULL FOR CHARITY. Baramor donates $3 every pint poured to the non-profit charity. It’s a great way to donate.“

“Love the Town Tavern! The atmosphere is relaxing & comfortable! The staff is knowledgeable & attentive! The food is DELICIOUS! (And the portions are large). Highly recommend this restaurant!!!“

“Great food and drinks! Our waitress Christen was very friendly and attentive. We’ll be back!“

“One of the better restaurants located inside a Hilton property. A solid menu from the appetizers to the entrees. The beer menu is well thought out, from the favorites to a great local selection, all of which are 23 oz pours. My Hilton go-to is their wings, and this location didn’t disappoint.“
