    It's impossible for me to be objective here--this is the greatest bar in Cambridge, possibly the world. Pay attention to all the decor. It never stops surprising.

    Can't decide which shot to get? Go for the Moe-a-licious. It's Absolut Vanilla Vodka, Pineapple & Grenadine. You won't be disappointed.

    Have yourself some tacos! Chicken or veggie or both - I'm not gonna tell you how to live.

    The Jack O Lantern and Black Velvet are two of the best black-and-tans I've had. They are equally wise investments.

    Pasta Bolognese. I had a regular gig there when they first opened. I was mostly unemployed, and the free meal was a huge percentage of my week's nutrition. It's like a blanket for yr innards. Eat.

    Defeat the Minotaur and win safe passage across the Charles River. Also, sick beats are spun here often.

    Go to River Gods and have fries with garlic aoli, god salad, and Hawaiian margaritas. Get there early (before 7pm) most nights for a seat!

    This place is the best around Halloween; pumpkin beer flows from the taps and the decor gets a spooky twist.
