What People Are Saying

from Google

"I stumbled upon this little pub and was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming — the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. The staff are friendly and quick with a smile, which makes the experience even better. Their margaritas are absolutely amazing — perfectly balanced, refreshing, and made with care. But the real star of the menu is the clam chowder: rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It’s one of the best I’ve ever had! This pub is the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Great drinks, comfort food, and a warm vibe — I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍸🍲"

★★★★★

"If you're interested in a true dive bar tucked in the basement of an otherwise beautiful basement, look no further. If you have the family with you then let me suggest a seat on the patio. The food is pretty good, the drinks better."

★★★★

"Best place to have a bite and drink in Harvard square area. We ended up there after having already dined elsewhere and not feeling happy. This place saved our evening, super user friendly atmosphere, we were invited to seat wherever we pleased, the service was perfect: fast, fun but not imposing. We took brisket nachos and Guiness and it was delicious. They have all kind of great choices both food and drinks. We were only sad not to have found this place earlier."

"The server took about 10 minutes to get our drink order. She seemed very new, asked us if we wanted singles or double for drinks then said if we did get doubles it would be above the legal limit. We also sat in their patio seating and on their menu it said if you eat it from 5-730 you get half of food with a drink purchase. At the end of the meal. When we go the check she said that it does not apply to sitting on the patio. The menu should be more clear as dine in meant to most that you just cannot do take out. The food at the point as well was very bland and the chicken on the grilled chicken looks like something microwaved and the Mac and cheese was more oily than cheesy. Which the food came out about 10-15 after we ordered so my expectations should have been low."

"I’ve just had dinner at grendels and have been here many times. I likely will not return. Our waitress was astonishingly inattentive and the food was lacking. Usually the chili is solid. Their beer selection is great though. What killed me was that the tip number was fraudulent. Per the attached image it listed various tip amounts as being certain tip percentages, but they were no such thing. A 20% tip was listed as being $18.00 on a $67 bill. You don’t have to go to harvard to know that is lincoln off. Despicable."
