Great for Beers but Mediocre Food
Really 2.5 stars. Cambridge Common is a frequent destination for HLS students looking to grab a few drinks with a large crew – and occasionally some cheap eats. The food, although diverse, isn’t particularly special. There’s a lot to choose from and there are usually some specials – the portions are enormous.
The dimly lit restaurant is often crowded and somewhat tightly packed. There’s a large bar area for those who just want to drink and a handful of TVs perennially tuned to ESPN. Beer selection is plentiful and they serve fairly potent mixed drinks in a pint glass. At the very least it will probably make your food taste better!
Good selection of beers at low prices. I prefer t
Dishes I tried:
Fried Pickles
I had never had fried pickles – and I don’t think I’ll order them again. Battered dill pickles come with a chipotle aioli dipping sauce.
Fish and Chips
Heaping plate of scrod. Lots of fries. Not the best I’ve ever had, but certainly not the worst.
