Paddy's Lunch
Cambridge's oldest family- and woman-owned bar. North Cambridge dive that's been pouring cold beer and keeping firefighters, lawyers, and politicians on a first-name basis since 1934. The name says 'Lunch' — it doesn't actually serve any.
The Asgard
Irish pub with extensive beer selection and hearty pub fare. Live music on weekends, trivia nights, sports viewing. Central Square landmark since 2006.
The Druid
Authentic Irish pub in Cambridge's oldest wooden mercantile building. Perfectly poured Guinness, homemade Irish fare and American pub classics, and live Irish music three nights a week.
