“Lots to like, with a couple of notes. Good oysters, good beer, delicious pickled mussels. The seafood is our entrees was very fresh and the scallops were standout. The execution of the spaghetti with clams fell a bit short in the execution: The dish was noticeably sandy and had some shards of shell. We also observed our poured beers sitting for a few minutes before someone picked them up and brought them to us. But overall it was a very good meal in a very pleasant, not too loud setting.“
“This place is super chill--I used to come to the last iteration with drunk cooks that wanted strong drinks and darts, in that order. The new place offers the same, but is also cleaner(?!)Good music, super reasonably priced drinks. Excellent vibe. But the best thing of all is definitely the picklebacks. They have pickle juice on tap. No, really. On tap. They f@#k,. Super hard.“
“That the young man overseeing the entrance and merch counter was reading Sartre’s The Plague was a good sign. So was being located along and near the end of the Somerville Community Path, at least to this cyclist in need of a pit stop. There are three standards by which to rate a microbrewery: food, physical location and quality of beer. Since I only had time (and good sense) for one marzen lager at the bar (tasty and refreshing), and tried none of their food, I can’t rate their beer or food. However, as a place to hang out, either inside—open but small enough to seem cozy, or outside on the patio overlooking The Common, it rates a 5.“
“Went to the Locke Bar for lunch and thought the menu had a great variety of choices. I had 2 appetizers for my lunch (lamb & hummus and the Brussels sprouts) and my husband got the burger. The lamb & hummus was tasty. The lamb was shredded and served with pine nuts and pita. It was a great flavor balance with the pita. The Brussels were crisp and flavorful, I enjoyed every bite. My husband is picky about burgers and thought the Locke burger was perfectly cooked and the sauce on it added a nice punch. I tried a couple of fries and they had a great crunch. I will definitely go back and try some other things on the menu.“
“It has fancy looking outdoor seatings good for chill drinks with mexican foods in the warm weather. Inside seatings and bars are good for watching sports games. Foods are generally good and well served. Price is a bit high. Some meter parkings are available by chance on Mass ave and the streets nearby. But they are usually crowded so not recommended during peak hours.“
“I liked this brewery. The interior design was kind of industrial noir but with a friendly feeling and the layout for seating was done well. Very excited I got a seat at the window bar top. Bar staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They had a unique selection of beer, a few good choices with high ABV, and some beer types I’ve never heard of. I didn’t get one but they do offer flights. They also had a selection of games you could play at your table. The street parking was tricky but that’s because of the Cambridge and not the brewery’s fault.“
