they also have non beer options, burger kinda slaps, lots of events- trivia, karaoke, etc. check the calendar before you go
Remnant Brewing - Satellite
they finally have non beer options, so it's a safer bet for groups now. The beer is… the best imo.
Lamplighter Brewing Co. - Broadway
best bar staff, great vibes, eclectic crowd, hard not to fit in
New Republik
almost always an open table or bar stool here, its huge, safe Harvard sq. bet
Russell House Tavern
Tiny, good guinness, good food too
The Druid
Check the instagram before you go, they have 2 polarizing things; Euro soccer watch parties and DJs - not all the time so you can easily catch a good spot on the patio on a non-dj non game day
The Phoenix Landing
Gay, good for queers and hot dog lovers
Trina's Starlite Lounge
Sporty, good for groups and games, small so don't expect a seat right away
Parlor Sports
Fake dive filled with youngish people, very cambridge. A good time for groups, slammed on the weekends, if you're looking for a crowd and maybe even a line, go on a friday night
