This is the perfect place for you to relax. The modern patio and vintage Boston pub feel makes it home for any Bostonian caught Harvard square at the for the moment. Josh my server was fast accurate and amazing for any after work Vibe. Especially the bartender I believe his name was Matt is more than happy to give your money’s worth on a scotch neat. Honestly I do not drink mixers but they had a very decent selection of beers. I could tell by the amount of variety traveling out to the patio. LolA great place for drinks and a walk on a date. This is exactly one of those place you walk by daily in your neighborhood an finally stop in. Saying “why in the hell did I wait so long!!!”

Decent bar in Harvard square with affordable food and drinks. Visited as a group for drinks on a weekday evening. Their indoor seatings were small and limited, so we got their outdoor seats. Thankfully, they had a heater outside which helped in the cold weather. We ordered some nachos and parmesan fries and hot mulled cider to warm up in the cold. Although their nachos weren’t up to my expectations, their fries and the cider were great.

Cozy little pub next door to Harvard Square. A nice crowd of people that make it a lively corner to go for a beer with friends and enjoy a nice chat. Food (burger and nachos) is good but nothing special, except for the handmade fries, which were a treat! Good selection of beers even if not too extensive and friendly staff. Fair prices. It gets quite crowded so finding a place could be tricky. Overall, a nice "neighborhood-like" pub!

I visited Cambridge from Canada last week, and I have multiple food allergies which makes eating while on vacation very tough. The bartender was very welcoming and my husband and I were able to enjoy a nice lunch at this cozy pub. The staff even wrote down a list of food options from their menu that would be alright for me to have which was super helpful in making my selection. I settled for the hummus platter which was really huge, and my husband decided on a burger. The food was quite good, and I had no issues at all. We really appreciated the bartender's attitude too, as we did not order any alcoholic drinks and were mainly looking for a place where I could eat lunch! The service received was friendly and attentive, and I definitely will go back once I am in the area again. It seems like it would be a neat place to hang out with friends over some food and drinks. For anyone with any of these food allergies or restrictions, it is possible to eat there: milk, eggs, coconut, tree nuts, mushrooms,...

Shay’s Pub is a gem. It’s the kind of place you walk into once and instantly know you’ll be coming back. The vibe is calm, friendly, and just right for chilling out, having real conversations, and unwinding after a long day.

The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. Sean really stood out—he was busy as hell but somehow kept everything under control. You can tell he’s been doing this for a while because everything he did was smooth and on point. He made me feel taken care of, even in the middle of the rush.

I’m genuinely happy I found this place. There’s nothing better than grabbing a cold Miller Lite after some miles around the river and just soaking in a good atmosphere. Shay’s feels like one of those places that becomes part of your routine without...

This was my first time visiting this spot. I was thoroughly impressed by the friendliness of the staff. The bar owner Shawn was so cool. He gave everyone in the bar a free holiday shot of their preference. I opted out of the shot and asked for a sweet drink the bartender suggested a lemon drop... it was pretty good more tart than sweet. I couldn't leave without sampling the menu. Everyone looked as if they were enjoying their selections so I wasn't surprised when my food was presented to me that it looked like it was made in a hi end restaurant. It was quite flavorful as well. The place is very small but very welcoming. If you want to go to a low key spot for a quiet date night this is a very good spot to try out. It's located in Cambridge near...
