very cool place. Nice small bar, great patio, interesting art and an open feel to the interior. The beer selection was vast and interesting. Service was good. Very good food. I would love to live by this place.

Excellent place and one of the first brewpubs I used to visit back in the day. Have gone back a few times recently and was happy to find that they still do a great job with their food and more importantly their beer. These guys brew great beers and offer alot of different styles and seasonal offerings.

Visité pour la première fois le 10 juillet 2009. Maudit que ce n’était pas facile à trouver, surtout que Kendall Square n’est sur aucune carte; pour vous aider c’est sur Hampshire, entre broadway et Cardinal Medeiros, à côté d’un pub irlandais. Bon, l’endoir est très accuillant, une belle terrasse, une grande salle à manger confortable et un bon bar. Mos sanwitch au poulet noircie était trop délicieux. J’ai pris deux bière; leur pale ale était assez bonne mais leur barleywine d’été était allucinat. En tout et partout, ça valait le trouble de le chercher!

This brewpub met all of my expectations and more. It was tough to find, a detailed map and directions would help for people who have not been out this way before, and directions from people were off. The beers, now there is something to talk about and the summer barleywine and high abv stout were awesome half-pints, rounded out by the smoked, and solid porter and heffe. This was late lunch and service was tremendous, I understand if that is not the case at busy mealtimes. Bar was attractive, a good sized patio but that is in the middle of a wind funnel between the buildings. Parking was found today but I could see that as a problem as well. Superior brewpub.

Original review date 7/11/2008... Solid spot at 1 Kendall Square. Lots of exposed brick and overhead ceiling fans. Decent tunes - an eclectic mix. Well-crafted offerings across the style spectrum - around 10 on tap with 1 on cask also. The few I sampled were solid representatives of their genre. Service - very knowledgeable, helpful and unobtrusive. Food stresses variety and local ingredients - the meditteranean plate was a great starter! Most pints around $4; seasonals/specialties with higher ABVs go around $5 or maybe a little more. Not pricey at all. A nice experience after not being in here for a couple of years. Have to make this more of a regular occurrence!

Fantastic staff, friendly and knowledgeable. I had the chance to try some great cellar beers this week. A great selection on the night the Bruins made the Semi-final playoffs. Great glass wear and choice of ales.Brilliant.

This is a nice pub with a very pleasant terrasse in the summer. The food is good and the staff provides a good, friendly service. There’s a wide variety of beer, I sampled 13 in one visit, and the overall quality of the beer is good. It’s worth a stop when you’re in Boston.

The location is interesting, in the middle of Cambridge’s biotech incubator...maybe they use GM yeasts? All that aside, I loved the location, with the old looking building with warm dining room, the nice terrace where we sited. We had a beautiful goat cheese salad and a Lebanese platter that night The beer here is above average, with a few excentric offering. I shall be back.

A nice modern brewpub tucked away in an unassuming location- unless you have explicit directions it would be hard to find. They had alot of their beers on tap with some interesting seasonals. The two beers I had were pretty good. Food was a bit more upscale than most brewpubs and well executed. I would definitely go back.

This is an eclectic little brewpub. Very modern and sleek, with great food and some great, sessionable, seasonal brews. There were 11 brews on tap when I visited, some of which were as creative and fun as any I’ve encountered in a long time. They offer growlers of their 4 house beers, but not the 7 seasonals. We sat at the bar and had some very nice appetizers. The menu has a modern American feel, with some unique, updated twists on a few New England classics. It looked as though this was a pretty hot spot for locals on a Friday night, as it got pretty crowded at dusk. The bartender was knowledgeable, friendly, and quick. Overall, a great little place that I’ll be sure to visit again on my next trip to Boston.
