9 months agoGreat bar. Manager made us feel at home. Great place to watch sports (& I'm quoting my fiancée!)

Richard Kriese
year agoReally nice local bar. Not a pub. Not a cafe. Not pretentious. Just a good Boston bar! Highly recommended.

Ryan Fleming
9 months agoOur new favorite Boston bar! The food was great the regulars were friendly and welcoming. Dave behind the bar was awesome. So much fun we went for the game and then came back late night. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Melissa Rivera
9 months agoFrom the minute we walked in the bar- service was phenomenal. It was football Sunday and the bartender Dave recommended seats for us where we could watch our teams game, he kept us hydrated, entertained and fed. We met great locals and loved it so much we came back for a night cap and late night nibbles. Great local spot where we were made feel very welcome- we’ll be back! Thanks Dave!
Julie Mullen
8 months agoThis is such a great spot in Cambridge for stellar service and a grub. The prices are insanely reasonably for the Boston area, you really can't go wrong! I am a big fan of the wings, I like them hot and these wings don't disappoint, plenty of beers and cocktails to wash them down! You will love your visit, highly recommend!
Spenser Guerin
7 months agoFriendly sports bar. Plenty of games on with cheap drinks and cheap food. Food isnt anything too special but it is good bar food if thats what youre looking for. I thought menu online was pre-covid years old bc of the price but nope they have 6$ apps and beers in the big year of 2025.
Godfrey Ainooson
4 years agoHappened on this place by chance after Somerville's Porchfest, and was very glad we did. First off, unlike a lot of sports bars which have a few large screens and small screens scattered around, this has many small screens everywhere. This way, you're never out of view of a game. Saves your neck a lot of turning. Then, the drinks are pretty good. And they pour a beautiful glass of Guinness. The food was great, loved the fries with parmesan. Overall, an awesome place to grab a drink and watch the game with a couple of friends.
Lindsay Davis
6 months agoRON and DAVE are gifts sent from heaven to run this glorious place! They are the actual owners who also work on Sat night and even though I don't live nearby I make a point to go monthly because these guys create the best vibe going in town. They've got darts and all the games on, consistently fun music, old people, young people, the whole place is just welcoming and absolute fun. Recently tried the wings and pepper/lemon tater tots- DELICIOUS! Truly a gem of a sports bar, a real sense of community and care.
