Fun atmosphere. Decent burger. Great beer. I enjoyed the hazy ipa. Will definitely go back next time in Cambridge

Cool spot in RAR. Good beer and flights. Unfortunately you can’t order them for guest taps though.

Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. Took a few coworkers there for an outing. They all rave about the chessie burger to this day. I suggest going with the triple because the double is that good. Huge fan of every beer on tap of course

Food is to accompany drinks. Lounge bar for young adults. Great focus on service! Most outstanding restaurant in downtown Cambridge.

They put a lot of care in their food. The seasonal salad tasted great, with a good mix of flavors and textures. The Chessie burger had a great bun and toppings. The shoestring fries were perfectly double fried. With so much care in their food, I wish I had tried their crab cake sandwich. The restaurant space was also filled with little hints of 1980s and 1990s nostalgia.

Great ambiance in the bar and great staff! So friendly. We loved the RAR herb double IPA.

Came in today with my daughter while traveling through the area . We thought the place looks nice and decided to have lunch . Young man that waited on us was very good and friendly. But food is low quality and small portions . We placed our order at 1:30 and took till 2pm to get food after asking the server . We definitely won't be back tounfortunately Additional note is the crab cake sandwich has no price on it but you get hit with $22 on that . Sides are not mentioned as additional on a plate . Be careful of sticker shock when you get your food bill here .

My partner found RAR with a friend last spring we returned on Memorial Day weekend Nice find cute location in a strip of renovated downtown Cambridge. Love the decor and open air rooms, good playlist although you can't go wrong with Bob Marley Beer notes- anything dark and anything sour says the beer aficionado The burgers were good, reminded me of midwestern butter burgers . The onion rings I had as a side get a thumbs up, crispy and cooked just right with a sprinkle of old bay. For an appetizer we had the drunken tots with crab, this is a must have , spectacular. Attentive service too

The restaurant part of this brewery is called Chessie burger and it is awesome. I had a chili hot dog with macaroni and cheese, very cheap. I love it when restaurants have a range of prices on their menu, so you can go with friends and get the low end entre while others get the high end, or if you aren't super hungry you can find something appealing. The servers treated me well even though I sat alone, another test. They had booths that are comfortable for short people like me. Sold! Next time I'll try the crabcake and come for drinks.
I always loved RAR and peeled off the highway for it when passing by. But it's better and better and better. It's truly a beer Mecca now with an incredible home grown list (double ipa, sours, imperial stouts) plus a ridiculous (meaning amazing) list of guest taps and cans. The latter includes some of best beers in the NE and mid Atlantic...like The Veil. They added food a few years back. Truly a spectacular experience..if you are a beer nerd it will stump you with too many choices.

This is friendly and fun little gem in Cambridge for a Monday night. Not too many choices but glad I made the trip here. Our server made great recommendation on beers and I was very satisfied. The burger I order was tasty and well done with a great sauce. Tater tots and beer cheese were the bomb. I loved the aura of this place and hope they open one near me. Our tap houses are stuffy and bland comped to RAR. And the beer is great.

Awesome vibes. One side is a classic bar feel, the other is more modern seating area. I got a margarita while the rest of my party had beers on tap! Will be back. Many ciders, cocktails, wine for allergen friendly people.

Really cool addition to the RAR experience. Didn’t get anything to eat or drink because we had already taken care of that on the original side, but the drink menu looked great. Massive tv on the wall. Reminds me of a bar in the lobby of a fancy, 5-star hotel.
