  What weve ordered: Martinis Wanton Nachos, Taco Trio (Fish taco, Pork Belly Taco and Brisket Barbacao Taco) Sweet Potato Fries, Fuzzy Peach BelliniWe’ve heard nothing but positive things from our friends about Beertown in Cambridge, so we couldnt wait to try it for ourselves!The restaurant has majority of the seating intended for 4+ people and was actually quite busy for a Tuesday afternoon. After being greeted at the door, we were seated by the Manager. It was nice to see him participate in this and we later saw him personally checking on the cleanliness of the bathrooms. It was somewhat loud inside but still felt like a secluded spot in our deep booth at the back. The theme is clearly beer, the giant fridge at the back was stocked with dozens of brands weve never even heard of before. A sliding ladder the likes of which used in libraries must to be used to reach the top shelves. The lights are re-purposed beer kegs, and there is a tap at every table which we thought was an awesome idea. Some of the TVs could have been better placed in our opinion, some tables have a view of more than 5 at a time while our wall couldnt see any.Their menu is a sheet of paper on a clipboard. While at first glance it looks like a rather small selection, we were impressed by the unique options available. Disappointingly, there are no pictures but their website offers some nice insight of what to expect. Its very creative, they understand pairing food ingredients together for some really inspiring choices. This does come at a cost, we found the prices to be somewhat higher than other places. This restaurant is best for groups, bring your friends for a night of drinking and a nice platter of food to share. The selection of beers, wines and the like is comparable to no other. Having the option of any beer on tap right at your table is really innovative.Our waitress had an excellent attitude. She was pretty diligent considering how busy it was. After seeing what we assume was a dumbstruck look on our face when shown the massive drink list, she asked if we had been before. She explained the menu well and gave us enough time to decide without being intrusive. She was surprised that we both were not drinking, who she thought would be driving later was a little concerning, but none the less our drinks were brought out promptly and our food within 5 minutes.Our food arrived very hot, seemingly small portions but the presentation was impressive. Martinis wanton nachos were really unique, with an interesting Asian inspired twist. Served on a wooden plank, the Brisket Barbacao was the best of the Taco Trio. The meat was absolutely perfect and the sauce brought it to another level. Their tasty Pica de Gallo really made the fish taco perfect, the fish itself was complemented with the unbelievably spicy Cholula sauce. The meat on the pork belly taco was great and the seasoning was suitable but I didnt particularly like the coleslaw on it (solely personal preference). Sweet potato fries were served very hot and these didnt disappoint, the tiny dip provided was delicious but not sufficient enough. Their Peach Bellini, although fantastic but for almost $9, could’ve had more booze in it. Even though our meals initially looked small, we were quite satisfied when we finished. Beertown is a really interesting place to visit, we were not expecting such a unique place in both the atmosphere and the meal options. It was a rather expensive date night for us but during our meal we could only talk about how great it would be to bring a group of our friends here. Its embarrassing to say that we visited a place named Beertown and didnt try any of their beers but now we have some time to research some of the options available for next time. This was a great time with some really special food and drink options, definitely a cool place for young people that we recommend highly. Price Range: $5.99-$16.49 Atmosphere: 8.5 Menu Selection: 7 Service: 8 Food Quality: 8 Overall Experience: 8 -Quick-RR

  Beertown is a trendy comfortable place to go with a small group. The food has always been tasty with average size portions. The selection of Beer is fantastic but is to be expected given the name. Many beers on tap including some of our favourite imports. We usually frequent once a month and are rarely disappointed.

  Good atmosphere. Great selection of beer. Food is very good but a bit expensive. Service is poor, well mostly slow. The servers are generally friendly and decent, it takes for ever to get a beer or a refill on other drinks.
