Best Restaurants and Bars in Davis Square, Somerville | Eater Boston

"Davis Square has many things but, uncharacteristic of Somerville, it doesn’t have a brewery. Elm Street Taproom conveniently fills the void by offering an extensive draft list with a diverse selection of local and regional craft beers, some of which — such as Hill Farmstead from Vermont and Mast Landing from Maine — have amassed a cult following. It has a no-frills food menu that covers popular pub fare." - Celina Colby

Elm Street Taproom - Review - Davis Square - Boston - The Infatuation

"Elm Street Tap is one of the better beer bars in Somerville, with a ton of taps pouring almost exclusively New England-based beers. The beer should be the principal reason you go here because the menu, while slightly better than your standard pub burgers and fries, isn’t anything you’ll fall in love with. It’s a nice dark space with wide windows fronting Elm Street, though, and a good place to grab a drink with a couple friends or try to seal the deal after a date." - Dan Secatore

The Best Restaurants In Davis Square

"If you like to drink beer (and you live in Boston, so you probably do) then you need to know about this place. With 40 rotating taps pouring almost exclusively local stuff and just as many bottles and cans, this is one of the best places to get a beer in the neighborhood, especially if you can drink it one of their sidewalk tables on a summer evening." - dan secatore

Great place I usually come for a night cap or some munchies. However the pornstar martini was not it... probably why it comes with prosecco. Our waitress thankfully removed the drink. We had waffle fries and the chicken nuggets which I highly suggest!

ASK FOR REESE! Her service was awesome. Food was great and we left totally satisfied. We’ll definitely be back.

Delicious spicy margarita! Food and apps look delicious but we just came for drinks. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Trivia on Tuesdays and there is a mug club that you can join but it seems like you have to be very committed!

The whole thing was mid at best, the food sounded good but the food was bland. It was sustenance, that’s about all I can say about the food Probably some of the worst fish and chips I’ve had. A long brown log of fish that looks like a dookie is probably the most UNAPPEALING thing I’ve ever seen. The service was also mid at best. My fiancé said her burger reminded her of a Wendy’s burger. The mozzarella sticks tasted fishy(?) and the service wasn’t great either. I’ve definitely have had pieces of plain bread that have been MUCH more flavourful than whatever we ate

We really enjoyed this restaurant - I would highlight the service and atmosphere in particular. We were welcomed immediately, and received friendly, attentive service at our table. Our waiter frequently came by to see if we needed refills or wanted to order something else. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming - not always an easy combination to find. I would definitely return.

The Summer Salad is delicious and the vegetarian and Mediterranean options were great! The Kale Caesar with veggie burger is my new favorite order here! Note: I would generally not recommend for brunch, and would stick with their dinner menu.

Poor quality beer and food. Beer had a metallic/mineral off taste, probably from not cleaning the tap lines. A friend of mine had a similar issue here in the past. I've had the same beer at Dragon Pizza down the street and know what it should taste like. Buffalo ranch wings had no discernable flavor. No spicy, no sourness and barely any flavor to the chicken itself.

Had gone here last summer forgot I even went there, but the food was surprisingly good for a bar around Davis Sq. The chicken nachos plate with refried beans and guac. Was fantastic, plenty of chicken & the nachos were nice & crispy. Guac was really good nice and fresh. The sweet potato fries were good too. The chili lime beef Crunchwrap was delicious had plenty of flavor. Overall great spot for drinks and food. Service was pretty decent sometimes we were left waiting but definitely try their food, not bad at all.
