Gastropub · Somerville

"Most of the space that is the Independent is taken up by a perfectly good gastropub that does things like poutine, maple buffalo wings, and mushroom fricassee. If you do dinner or brunch here you’ll leave satisfied. But if you want to actually be happy instead of merely content, head here not to eat in the main restaurant, but to drink in the little bar on the side. There’s a massive draft list, some really well made cocktails, and it’s all served to you in a space you won’t really want to leave. The atmosphere straddles the line between classy private library and neighborhood pub in Paris, and if you’re thinking those are two good places to hang out in, you’re right. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
