Fodor's Expert Review Temple Bar

Harvard Square Bars

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

The chef here emphasizes house-made everything—entrées to condiments. After exploring Cambridge, saddle up to the long copper bar and kick back with a signature barrel-aged cocktail and savory gin or rum concoctions. The list is long, with inventive drinks such as the Lord of Storm's End (bourbon, Amaro Nonino, Tamsworth Blue Lion Chicoree) and Walking on Sunshine (Vodka, maraschino liqueur, GTs Gingerberry Kombucha). Be prepared to be impressed by bar menu lamb sliders and garganelli Bolognese, or choose a sit-down dinner affair.

There's free parking in the rear after 6 pm.
