There's a closer station at Powderhouse Square in Somerville but I wasn't able to select it for some reason. PLEASE be careful when biking in Boston! As a country girl, I'd never even attempt it.

Drinks & Nightlife
One of greater Boston's 3 'speakeasy'-type establishments, this place has AMAZING cocktails & a great dinner menu. There isn't a sign, so it's a bit hard to find.

One of the few 'dive' bars in Cambridge/Somerville. The drinks are cheaper & the music is usually pretty great.

Putting this under 'nightlife' because there are better restaurants/service all over Cambridge & Somerville. Only about a 5-minute walk down High Street across the train tracks, this place is great for a just-got-off-the-road beer. Even better if you'd like to invite your fabulous host to join you for a cocktail & some local people-watching! Brunch is served on the weekends & the patio will be open at the end of May.
