TracyMarch 8, 2016They have a great selection of beer! The service is excellent!The food is always good! I'm a vegetarian they have some very good choices . Gulu-Gulu Cafe is always a place we goto when we are in Salem
Clearly a top choice in Salem for beer lovers. Cask is often available. There serious about their live music too. Just look up at the ceiling.
Jeff ColwellAugust 7, 2019This place is so cool. Good food, great beer selection and amazing staff. There was an awesome band playing the night we visited. Make it a must.
- A wild variety of foods and beers, this is a wonderfully eclectic place with a menu that spans the meal cycle. Friendly staff and consistently amazing food - a true local's paradise.

My has been and I have been here before but it’s one of our favorite stops in Salem.- Jessica MoránAugust 27, 2019Their sandwiches and meat and cheese boards are phenomenal! My husband and I have been here before but it’s one of our favorite stops in Salem.
Chanda EllisDecember 8, 2019Poison Ivy pizza - has a fig balsamic glaze that I could drink. Speaking of drinks they have a number of craft cocktails, craft beer and kombucha!
Paige VigneronJanuary 15, 2018Gulu Gulu is located in Salem, so not too far from Endicott's campus. This is an awesome place for studying and getting great food and AWESOME nitro coffee!- Vikki PagetJanuary 6, 2019cool atmosphere, and i like the food (especially the crêpes), but their hot chocolate and coffee drinks aren’t very good
Sebastian ScaleraJanuary 8, 2017Essjay wrap is delicious, try it with a pumpkin beer! WiFi password: gululovesyou
Sara McCombsNovember 9, 2012Love this place. Very different than any other place, I've been to around Salem. It has great food, great brews, and a great atmosphere.
Order a Barcelona sandwich, it is delicious and pairs well with any drink.
On Wednesday nights, because of open mic night, table service ends before 7. All food has to be ordered from the bar, and the line gets incredibly long. Avoid on Wednesdays unless you love open mic.
Lisa J.July 6, 2011This place is my favorite place to be in Salem. Not only is it in a great location, but the food, drinks and service are always top notch. Wonderful beer selection!- Jon MulhollandAugust 24, 2011Forget the Witch Trial sideshow and make a beeline for Gulu-Gulu Cafe. The Meat and Cheese Coalition is amazing and the cafe has an awesome Beer selection.
Laura D'AngeloOctober 22, 2014If you're in Salem you need to check this place out. Huge beer selection and awesome atmosphere.
I work in the industry and this is always one of my fav places to stop. Expect relaxed service, great food, great beer...as it should be
Megan IrvineNovember 12, 2013Love this place. Delicious crepes, meats, cheeses. Nice beer selection. Changing art display.
Joseph SenecaJuly 9, 2013Great place! No tourist trap! Great beer selection and big sammies! Great eclectic feel!
Ricky BrandanoJuly 25, 2013cool atmosphere, very weird regulars. great beer and food selection, slow (in my experience) service. always a trade off here for me- The Istanbul and Barcelona sandwiches are amazing! They also have a GREAT beer selection.
Great crepes and panini. It's hard to go wrong. The cheese plate is amazing.
Eric TremblayMarch 18, 2010This is by far the best non commercial bar in the area...if you want import beers or just that cool coffee shop groove then this is the place for you- Victoria RossJanuary 16, 2018The capuccino is delicious. I like to go in the afternoon, is very relaxing.
Great place to linger over a cappuccino and study. Or just come for the beer flights and chat or play a game
Barbara GavinMay 16, 2011They have the most interesting beers! This weekend we shared a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale (which our server called ferocious!) and a Dale's Pale Ale. (via Scoville) Read more
Breakfast crepes and good coffee.Wine & Cheese Coalition is splendid.Best beer menu on the north shore.I could live here.- Frank AnesMarch 7, 2012This is a well kept secret in Salem. Great beer selection of imported beers on tap and good food. Not too expensive.
Show up to be alone with your computer; it doesn't really happen that way. Lots of activities, lattes, conversation, shows, film and over all hi-jinx. Someone named his secure WiFi "Hipsters Suck."
Get the cheese & meat coalition! Beers are great but they also have great wines & specialty martinis!
Their "meat & cheese coalition" is awesome: choose from a variety of imported meats & cheeses (best is the marinated brie!) served w/grilled panini. Also, their savory crepes are amazing. Read more
Becki FrieiefnfnNovember 7, 2014Orange cranberry rooibos ice tea is amazing 🍹 chicken salad wrap ADD strawberries!!!
CcmferMay 11, 2013Huge selection of beers. $3 more you get a sweet take home pub glass. Great entertainment.
Red Dragon Mustard Ale Cheese is a must-have on the Meat & Cheese Coalition!
New menus with a few new items and a few taken off. Service is still hit-or-miss, though.
Great vibe, great drinks, wonderful entertainment. Eclectic beer selection while keeping touch with genuine coffee drinks. Crepes? Paninis? Marinis? Perfect!!!
Monnie OApril 21, 2011Awesome!!! What place do you know that sells craft beer and good coffee all in one spot!? Great vibe and good food.
Debra HardyAugust 17, 2012The Barcelona panini was delicious. The mustard was light and not at all overpowering.
Awesome wraps, really great service. If you unlock a special it doesn't apply! Just FYI.
