"Atwood’s, a revered bar, restaurant, and music venue, will shut its doors this month after 16 years, signaling yet another significant loss among the community-centered stages that bolster Boston’s musicians. It was known for highlighting a wide range of music on its stage, including folk, Americana, bluegrass, roots, blues, and rock. Menu items showcased New England producers, including a burger with beef sourced from a farm in western Massachusetts, and chocolate pudding featuring Somerville-based chocolatier Taza. The bar kept a solid rotating draft list with sought-after regional pints, like Hill Farmstead and Lawson’s Finest Liquids. Owners Patrick and Ryan Magee built a loyal following, and Atwood’s was known as a cozy bohemian hub in East Cambridge." - Jennifer Henry
