11 Best Bars in Somerville

“The drinks, food, service, and decor are great. Everything changes constantly so you'll always find something new and interesting. I haven't had a bad drink here, including the one that has actual cicada dust on the glass rim (you should try it).

Something that I did not find great though is the 20% mandatory gratuity which is not reflected in the menu prices. I have no issue supporting a living wage for staff, in fact I think it's good. But If the menu says $16 a drink and it's actually a mandatory $19.20...well, the menu should say "All drinks $19.20". Otherwise it seems a bit like deceiving the customer.

I still enjoy going here, but would really prefer they change this practice.“

“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!“

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!“

“We came for a conference here in Lowell and it broke out for lunch and thousands of people were looking for a place to eat all at once so it was super super busy and the line was long but the gentleman who was the server, the bus boy and everthing else all in one... did a fantastic job.. all with a smile and great service. The food was one of the best I've had in a Mexican restuaruant as well so I know the cooks know what they are doing. I can not get over how one man got everything done with such an amazing attitude. I hope noone complains about the wait because the service and food were outstanding.“

“Amazing food and cocktails at such a reasonable price for the area. Especially loved the salmon with an incredible yogurt tahini sauce. Husband got a burger which was solid but the best part was the fries! Service was great and loved the patio-perfect for an al fresco date night dinner. Will be back!“

“Killer venue, solid talent, awesome staff“

“Best spot in the area, no doubt. Attentive service and wonderful food. Divey ambiance with an upscale attention to detail. Order the spanakopita and super well priced bottle
of natural bubbly wine. Still one of the best kept secrets in Somerville. Definitely continue to be regulars here!“
