Beat Brew Hall

"Don’t bother with the food at Beat Brew Hall - it’s overpriced, over-sauced bar stuff. But nevertheless, this is still one of the best places to hang out in Harvard Square, thanks to a big beer selection, huge communal tables, shufflepuck, and frequent live music. Bring a group on a cold winter night and pretend you’re at Oktoberfest instead of studying for a logic midterm." - dan secatore

"Beat Brew Hall will show all USA games on its big screen projector. The expansive bar has a vast craft beer selection and will have food specials during the games." - Terrence Doyle, Dana Hatic

"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

"Beat Brew Hall is one of the largest spaces in Harvard Square, and we’re happy it’s filled with important stuff, like over 50 different kinds of beer and shuffle-puck tables, instead of more libraries and disease research laboratories. We like the fact that they have good flatbreads and live music." - Dan Secatore

"Beat Brasserie has reopened as Beat Brew Hall (13 Brattle St., Cambridge), featuring beer and beer hall-style cuisine with a touch of Southern food." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
