The best bars and cafés Cambridge

An Irish pub, typical of the area, with its share of students who come to toast to exams. We like the authentic side of the place, which relies on its atmosphere and its large selection of beers, which includes some specialties from Massachusetts. The atmosphere heats up as you move through the evening, as it does in any Irish pub. Beware, it's noisy and crowded. Activities are organized every night, from concerts to pub quizzes (Geeks who drink), perfect for making new friends. A lively atmosphere is guaranteed!

This is a nice place to drink a beer and relax, with its large windows that let in the light and its designer interior. Many MIT students come here to relax in the evenings after classes and on weekends. In fact, as a nod to the clientele, the menu, written in chalk on a blackboard, is presented in the form of a periodic table! You can nibble on tacos and other chips on the premises, or even opt for a burger.

A cosy Irish pub with a traditional look, colourful stained glass windows and furniture in earthy tones. The establishment has a long bar and a large dining room, so you are quite comfortable even on weekend evenings. There are burgers, fish & chips, seafood, chicken wings and French fries galore, and Guinness for those who like to drink it up! The others can treat themselves to a wide selection of draught beers and ciders. And the students are more than present.
