Mia RommelAugust 29, 2010Awesome crab cakes, terrible service. I felt like i was inconvienicing them by coming here. Waitresses stood together talking while we were waiting to give our order or ask for a drink refill.
Jeremy ComeauMay 9, 2010Had my first raw oyster here...food and service was excellent! Can't wait for round two!
Ask one of the bespectacled bartenders for an It's Always Sunny. The blonde dude. Yeah, that guy.

"A favorite "dive" in Cambridge. Kitchen is open late, food is great, but make sure you get there early if they have a favorite beer on tap. Best kegs get kicked early."

"Get the upper classic if you want a fantastic burger that has bacon on it. Otherwise, their double cheeseburger is also the bomb."
Kat Moss - 8.8
"Great new venue for anal shows, and a small but exclusive collection of whiskies and bourbon in the main bar. I'd go back again for sure!"
