"Bukowski’s in Inman Square were all personal favorites as well." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"You can order some pretty good bar food at Bukowski (we like the duck BBQ burger), but the beer list is the main reason you should come here. There’s an extensive selection of local brews on tap, just like at its sister Back Bay location. One important distinction of the Inman Square branch is that they take credit cards, so you can sip on your sour in the full comfort of the 21st century." - Joel Ang

"Bukowski’s burger-heavy Cambridge location has an Impossible patty (grilled to order) with a curry tomato sauce, corn, and bell pepper salsa. (The Boston location has a veggie burger, but not the Impossible or Beyond patties.)" - Dana Hatic

Great space with lots of tables and attentive service. Three of us split a plate of nachos which were generously topped with guacamole, fresh salsa, jalapenos, and grilled chicken for a little over $15. Good selection of craft beers which you can get as 8oz or 12oz pours, which helps when you want to try everything on the menu! Would recommend.

If you're looking to get some large portions of crazy bar food with plenty of selections of craft beers with a good group of friends along Inman Square after a long busy week, this is the place to go to relax. As you can see nachos are huge and should be shared as well as the burgers are creatively thought out. The Big Bukowski is something to prepare for though, that burger isn't just a Big Mac doopleganger, it should be the original standard. Lastly the sauces are worth trying creamy and even spicy - goes well with almost anything they have on the menu

Always a great place when you get a free beer for finishing your burger! The Bukowski burger was a Americans mans burger and the tots were excellent. I would so go back !

Friendly neighborhood bar, impressive beer selection... drink one of each in 6 months to get on their mug club! Get a 40 and a beer for cheap, "Hobo Special"

Overall a decent bar but the "hobo special" is just too weird a name and they actually put it in a paper bag. The special was actually a good deal! $9.95 for a 40 and a hot dog (which was actually tasty!). Draft beers very delicious and burger very good. Please just change the special name to "Allston Special!" Or something less weird. Then it would be 4 stars!

This place has a wide variety of craft brews, the sours are amazing! They even have a hobo special which is a hotdog and an old English 40oz 😂 (Destihl lynbrook)

Love this place. They have an amazing tap list and the bartenders are always willing to help you make a choice or offer a taste. The burgers are spectacular. Each one is made with a different meat and crafted with unique toppings to match flavors. I highly recommend the duck burger and to pair it with whatever the vegetable of the day is.

Really enjoyed dinner here. Great selection of beer and burgers! I got the brisket, my wife had the black bean, and our son tried the bison. All were excellent! The waitress was also great and brought me some samples of beer I wanted to try. Will be back!
