Linda AsencioJune 15, 2016Great atmosphere, wonderful wait staff. The tacos are amazing the red cabbage slaw is to die for; however the cheese burger sliders were not even interesting. Really neat place.
Best nachos in Greater Boston. Awesome veggie burger. Great tap list. Adorable patio. Live music every night. What more could you want?
Emily TaintorSeptember 26, 2014There is a really beautiful patio out back! Come when it's nice out so you get to enjoy it. Also great live music, great beer list. All around awesome place.
aApril 29, 2016Excellent spot in East Cambridge, with a very large selection of beer on tap and bottles, plus a lovely beer garden that is heaven in summer
Jake FochettaJune 18, 2016A very nice patio in the back for those summer days and nights. Sweet potato fries are crispy and served with tasty dipping sauce.
Jason ParkhillMarch 2, 2016Reasonably priced excellent beers, really good food, good atmosphere. Chill in the early evenings, classic pub feel later on.
Neel HajareJune 26, 2018I’ve been here a bunch because I lived 2 blocks away for 3.5 years, and while everything is just fine, it’s not a special experience I’d seek out in particular
Food is spectacular with a great beer menu as well. I always leave room for a hot toddy!
Jeremy KrantzSeptember 5, 2014They have an amazing patio, good food and a decent, rotating craft beer selection. Oh and good live music too.
Ryan RobertsSeptember 18, 2018Burger is fantastic. Add bacon and cheese. Meat has great flavor. The sweet potato fries are perfect.
Diana BrodyDecember 18, 2021Killer burgers, cozy patio with excellent heat lamps, fabulous waitstaff. This place is great.
Erich WiernaszAugust 16, 2015Killer patio during summer with a solid line up of beer. Food is just ok, but good spot to hole up for a drink and watch live music.
OurStageApril 7, 2011A bigger version of the local bar, with a decent stage, great food and drink. Usually no cover and long-standing residencies by local greats like Dennis Brennan and Tim Gearan.
- Jake FochettaNovember 24, 2016Great music residencies, beer list, and food. Check out the patio when it's warm.
Go through the side door to the patio. Order a Dogfish Head anything and a veggie burger. Enjoy.
Lynne VieraApril 14, 2012One of the nicest outdoor patios in the city, built by the owner Patrick's brother
Phil LaPierApril 29, 2011Veggie burger was awesome! Handmade fresh with great seasoning. The Kentucky bourbon is exceptional too.
Amazing food - bacon! Mac and cheese! Lentils! - but a major letdown for breakfast.
MarindaFebruary 20, 2012Definitely try the mussels. They are to die for! Tim Gearan every Friday night. $5 cover.
Go for the patio when it's open -- gorgeous back there!
Go to Atwoods for 1) mac & cheese, 2) monthly beer dinners, 3)trivia on wednesday night, 4)great beer! try Grimbergen & La Chouffe
Come for brunch and get the stuffed biscuits. They're fabulous.
Definitely stop in for the Kevin Barry Orchestra on Tuesdays and the Tim Gearan Band on Fridays.
corey bMarch 9, 2010buffalo chicken po-boy if you can handle a hot one. it's not on the menu but damn it's good!
The best thing on their menu is the applewood smoked BLT! Good beer selections!
Hipster beware: they have all four Fernets -- be specific, or risk disappointment!
