"As long as there are no German teenagers throwing up in the bathroom, big beer halls with communal tables are always a good time. With strings of lights on the ceiling, shuffleboard tables, and enough room to stage a game of pickup dodgeball, Beat Brew Hall is your Harvard Square spot to come and make a ruckus with a big group of friends. The menu is mostly uninspiring bar food, but the cocktails and beer selection more than make up for it, as does the frequent live music." - dan secatore
