Lauren ChristopherDecember 3, 2017The Beer club is fun! Bar snacks are good but the variety of beers is why this is a great place for a night out.
Tom ManshreckOctober 9, 2017Beers are too expensive. Nothing below $8 except for Narragansett and PBR. Do they think they're in New York?
- Cory K.June 6, 2016Still has the same great beer selection as always but seems lifeless and sterile post-renovations. There is the Hobo special though
- Kenneth HoltzJune 12, 2015Mug club is an awesome way to try all their beers. Food is different and great too!
LauraApril 20, 2015The burgers are on the small side; the buffalo chicken sandwich is just the right amount of spicy. Great (and massive!) beer list.
CJ ThomasMarch 15, 2015The remodel has caused this place to lose its appeal. It was very disorganized and hard to get a waiter's attention even if you've been seated.
A little too close to reopening. Quite rough on both service and execution.

Boston.comAugust 4, 2014Chow down a "Reuburger" or a California burger with avocado, bacon, and cheddar or a peanut butter burger. Read more- Boston.comAugust 4, 2014What's not to love about a bar named after a poet who did some of his best work while sloshed? Named to honor Charles Bukowski, has an awe-inspiring beer menu and is famous for its burgers. Read more
thoughtbotAugust 31, 2013The larger of the two Bukowskis, situated in hipster haven Inman Square amongst some of the best restaurants in the Northeast, the music is also loud and brash. Cash-only.
Its hotter than Hell... 93degree day and they don't have the air on ... Great beer just piss hot before you can finish it
Rafael GonzaqueApril 27, 2013This is normally not something to rave about, but their menus are great — informative and funny!
- Boston.comDecember 12, 2012A bars that's just the right kind of dark, perfect for day-drinking, though not the first place you’d take your mother or girlfriend. Food items include a White Trash Cheese Dip & chicken and waffles. Read more
- Nelson JoyceSeptember 22, 2012Awesome beer selection, check the chalk board. Also, ask about the hobo special...
UntappdSeptember 21, 2012This former garage now bar is a great place to spend an evening in Cambridge. Spin the wheel of beer if you dare!
Cash is good for local businesses and encourages you to live within your means. Stfu.
Sofia PapastamelosJuly 28, 2012Great beer selection and great cheesesteak -ask for plantains on the side. Cash only, much respect.
- Cindy CummingsJuly 10, 2012Don't spin the wheel! Just ask the bartender and they will recommend a great beeyah!!
Elvyra MillikenJuly 4, 2012Great service and food. Ran into some friendly locals. Overpriced though (I. E. anshlag wheat beer $6.25; eight buffalo wings $10.00)
Cash only - but worth the beer list. Why not join the Dead Author's Club? Ask about the "dollar" burger weekdays.
MarqueeBoston EventsMay 8, 2012The weekday burger special is awesome, especially because their burgers are really delicious! Also, spin the beer wheel as often as possible. You can't lose.
Simon KilBrideMay 6, 2012Beers Beers BEERS!!! Unbelievable selection and great bar food. but prepare yourself as its PRICEY. Oh and CASH ONLY so find an ATM (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Corin PiloMarch 18, 2012Terrible service! 2 sandwiches took 35 min, they also charge 4 re-fills and extra condiments!
Get a mug. Drink 130+ bottles and subsequently you get to drink from a personalized 24 oz mug for the price of a pint (with a nominal surcharge) .
Curtis AntoineJanuary 9, 2012Try the peanut butter burger and try to get into the Bukowski Tavern Mug Club.
Great place to write your holiday cards. A mug really helps to channel your Love and Best Wishes.
The Dead Author's Club is the hands down fastest way to become an alcoholic (if you aren't one already).

"Great food and an excellent rotating taplist. Best beer bar in the Boston area. Only downside is parking can be difficult and it's a long walk to the Central or Kendall T."
