Excellent polenta fries!!! And yummy beer of course.

Very impressive beer/tap selection, with many quality IPAs and other overly "hoppy" brews. Can't go wrong with a Victory Hop Devil draft.
Nicolas WardNovember 9, 2011
The macaroni and cheese (with bacon!) is decadent. Try it with a hoppy beer, like Green Flash Hop Head Red.

Incredible beer / food selection --- truffle fries overrated though 👃

If you like beer, you will like Lord Hobo. If you don't (like me), you will order a drink that is so strong and pungent that you won't be able to breathe. The food took forever & was forgettable.

Great for late night beers and cocktails!

Good beer selection and good vibe—particularly like the Hobo Life

Get the chocolate covered pretzels -- the peanut butter mousse that comes with them is amazing!
Earl Belcher JrOctober 2, 2014
Excellent craft beer selections. 50 taps. Some nice bottles too.
Adrian MottMay 20, 2010
Excellent beer selection. Try the German .5 liter pints! Food is good, but not as cheap as your average bar. Maybe because this ain't your average bar. Props to the charcuterie!

50 craft beers on tap and the Lord Hobo kitchen stays open until 1:30am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Best place for beer snobs in Cambridge.
Kat ChenMay 22, 2012
While the beer selection is awesome, they could really use a charcuterie plate.
Scott OwadesAugust 8, 2014
Great beer and a very friendly staff. $3 gansett.
Annaliza aka Elle EcritApril 28, 2012
$1 Oysters daily. They don't shuck 'em very cleanly, though.
Pamela RossJanuary 7, 2012
Beer selection great! Food is ok.. Dont order the brie or hummus and expect to be filled up. The ratio of hummus/brie to bread is sad.. Portions are small for the price

Maybe we can just call this “the place with the awesome beer that used to be the B-Side.’’ I can get behind 40 draft selections and 40-plus bottles. Read more

Get the short rib. You will not be disappoint.
Cristina RuizJanuary 13, 2016

If Heather is working, ask her for a bourbon in the $10 range, whatever she likes. Dame knows her whisky.

Come for the drinks. Don't expect to ever get seated for food on weekends.
