8 Best Beer Bars near Cambridge

“Maybe my favorite coffee shop of all time (and I really love coffee shops). Their drip coffee is phenomenal and their espresso is delicious as well. Breakfast sandwich comes on English muffin with avocado and is 9/10. By night, it becomes a brewing company with excellent beer and excellent hazy IPAs. Given that I moved in around the corner, I have been going at least three times per week. LOVE IT.“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“Great open space with a patio area and a rooftop area. The craft brews are great and the charcuterie options were spot on.“

“It sucked that they wouldn’t let us sit outside even though there were ample seats available, warm weather and only 8:30 at night. But ambience inside is still cool.

Tamarind margarita with mezcal was awesome, and the street corn did not disappoint! Probably my most fav part of the meal even though it’s an app.

Ordered 3 tacos: pescado, camarones and carnitas. I’ve eaten here before but I feel like last night they missed the mark. The pescado is actually a really thick piece of fish - delicious but overshadows the whole taco and not much room for other ingredients. The camarones was beyond spicy, I don’t know what happened I couldn’t eat it. But the carnitas was delicious!

Might go back and try their other tacos. I’ve heard good things about their pollo and tofu taco and ceviche. But disappointed last night didn’t go as planned.“

“I just Love the New Republic great atmosphere amazing food great drinks beautiful vibe“

“Cocktail: The Bam Bam was yummy. I had 2 😀

Apps: I'm a firm believer that bread should be free, so $10 for 4 pieces feels outrageous to me, but it was great bread to sop up the fabulous sauce from the mussels (in addition to the 2 grilled pieces that they came with). The chicken bites were delicious, and the green beans were very tasty as well.

Service: Our waiter Nick was great and didn't bat an eye while 4 women talked about perimenopause, and he even appropriately added to the conversation! I asked him what his favorite dish was, and I went with it-the gnocchi parisienne. The gnocchi was soft, and I think a bit grilled (homemade)? The pesto was different and delicious.
When 2 of us unexpectedly got showered with a bottle of champagne being opened by a server behind us, we were properly apologized to by the person who opened it, Nick, and the manager who took a round of drinks off our bill 👍

Atmosphere: Lovely atmosphere. We were seated in the front room but close to the back where the band was. It was enjoyable, but a little loud as we were there to chat and catch up. The live music sounded like yacht rock to start but then was fun with a jazzy take on a couple of Bruno Mars songs etc.

Parking: Free validated parking a few minutes walk away is fabulous in Harvard Square!“

“Great service and great food! The buffalo wings and calamari were excellent. I probably could've eaten 3 orders of those wings, definitely recommend. Roasted vegetable rice bowl was very good and my partner enjoyed his steak sandwich with tots as well. Yummy drinks too! Will definitely be back.“

“It is good food. The lunch menu is a good price, and the seasoning was exactly what I imagined. I do wish they had put the cover on the containers fully. It spilled all over my front seat on my drive home. They put plastic wrap over it instead of sealing it with a lid.

It is a significant wait for the food (with nowhere there it was at least a 20-30 min wait for takeout) but the food was hot and fresh.“
