"Shay’s is the type of little basement pub where you expect to hear fiddle music. But you could be coming here for more than just beer and a burger. Specifically, you should come here because it’s one of the best places in Harvard Square for affordable wine, with a ton of glasses that are under $10, bottles under $40, and half-bottles if you don’t want to commit. It has a small but nice front patio with umbrella tables when the weather’s nice, too." - dan secatore
