Simply one of Cambridge/Somerville’s best Irish pubs. Fantastic food (Shepard’s Pie, stellar Fish and Chips and one of the best burgers in town, to name a few). Great staff and perfect Guinness pours
VickyNovember 24, 2012The oxtail soup is stellar (Just ask them to hold the salt a bit) and more than enough for two people to share. The Fish and Chips just might be one of the best on this side of the Atlantic!- T BOctober 13, 2016Easygoing, casual bar serving affordable drinks with genuinely Irish bartenders. The kind of place you can go to and actually meet nice, friendly people.
Leah OtudaJuly 21, 2015I love the atmosphere here! A little small, but super cozy. A great place to go sit at the bar for a date, or grab drinks with friends.
Jake BockNovember 23, 2015The "Best Fish & Chips" isn't just marketing - it's a fact. Also take a look at the beef stew for some of the tenderest beef you'll ever taste.
Seriously the best Irish pub in the whole Boston area. Absolutely fantastic service, food, drinks, music; everything! Life is good here.
Jordi LlobetOctober 12, 2016Draft Guiness beer. Live irish music almost every day. The burger wasn't amazing. Good place for beer-ing I'd say.
Boston.comMarch 16, 2012The Druid attracts folks who appreciate the arts, some serious technology-types and those who enjoy an authentic Irish pub. A small but stellar kitchen keeps them returning. Read more
Sarah NixonJune 12, 2017Loud, packed, and lots of fun. Has a great energy. Also has the best fish and chips I've ever had
JoJo VinickNovember 12, 2015Great trivia on Wednesday nights (hard, though) and delicious fish and chips. Be warned - big serving.
Thursday nights with DJ Jeff are awesome! But you cannot go wrong on any night at the Druid
Mike NickersonSeptember 24, 2013Authentic fish and chips! Best I've had in Cambridge- they serve it to you wrapped in newspaper. Yum!
Aslı ŞahinAugust 13, 2016The decor and the way they serve fish and chips is really authentic. It's a small place, really loud and crowded. It's not good for groups nor dates. The beer servings are also small.
Sofia PapastamelosJune 12, 2012Delicious meaty burgers and hand cut fries. The friendly Irish bartender seemed to know everyone who walked in.
Jeremy KrantzAugust 13, 2014Shame on you if you don't order their burger. It's very popular for a reason: it's delicious.
Ben BeckerOctober 11, 2010Great burgers, fantastic handcut fries and the bangers & mash are brilliant. Get the food here. Also, the guiness is very well poured here.
Grab the fish and chips or even the seafood stew or even any of the sandwiches. All are delicious.
They renovated their façade in May 2014—the front corner tables now have huge windows.- Definitely get the fish and chips, the best in Boston!
Burgers, fish & chips and ask about the specials. Typically something yummy on tap
Excellent, going back next weekend for Shepard pie!
George KeithMay 26, 2010Irish Session on Tuesday @9:30pm and Friday at 7:30pm. Nice atmosphere, and quiet enough that you can actually have a conversation...
Staff is great! Tip them well. Fish sandwich is delicious.
lauraApril 18, 2010order the veggie burger. THE veggie burger. it's homemade and delicious. (a caveat: it took me 45 mins to get mine..so don't come hungry!)
Jordyne WuMarch 27, 2010Amazing ribeye- comes out huge, sizzling and juicy. Also, love that there's a pub pooch-- Cindy!- Great and maybe the best Irish pub this side of the Atlantic
Ernie DiMiccoAugust 16, 2010Amazingly good food and beer here. Getting a table during prime hours is difficult.
