      Love this place!! Great little sports bar with lots of TVs. Food and drinks are good and very reasonably priced (love the fried pickles!) Good service and fun vibes would definitely come here again!

      Big fan of the chicken and sliders. A small menu done right! Great beer selection. Bartenders make you feel welcome. Comfortable atmosphere.

      If you like a solid neighborhood bar, I'd say this is your place. Dark, loud, and lots of TV screens. We got there at 1140pm, about 5 minutes before last call for food. We quickly ordered some fried chicken sliders that tasted pretty good! Diet cokes, were off...kind of flat but guessing most folks go for the harder stuff.

      There was an argumentative customer sitting near us and I have to say that the bartender (owner?) really handled it well. Didn't escalate the situation and was firm but respectful with the customer. Kudos to you!

      I liked the sense of humor I saw on the bill where the suggested tip included 100%!

      I am so glad I went to this place again (wasn't lucky enough the first time during a weekend as the place was at full capacity).

      Went in on a Thursday night. Ordered some beers, margarita, veggie slider and fries.

      The fries were extremely salty, they changed it for unsalted fries when we let them know. The veggie slider was great. Margarita was strong.

      If you are looking to have some drinks and have fun (specially on a game day), this is your place. I'll surely visit again.

      Great food, extremely good service. Highly recommended.

      I came here on a Saturday night. The place had a classic sports bar vibe. The drinks menu was pretty solid and the food was above average for a pub. The kitchen stayed open relatively late and everything was reasonably priced. I would go back if I ended up in Porter Square at night.

      Favorite bar in North Cambridge!
      Friendly staff/customers, good vibe, not too loud for talking, affordable price.
      I like that the place always has just right amount of crowd, as I'm usually not a fan of crowded bar.

      Great Atmosphere to watch a game. Owners are the the dudes. Chicken Parm and Po Boy Sliders are crave worthy. Best in town.
