Bars & Clubs

Neighborhoods: Harvard Square

2015 Winner: Russell House Tavern

Look, little shaver: When you’ve graduated from cheap scorpion bowls and karaoke at the Hong Kong, we’ll see you at this smart but still-fun cocktail den where two bars’ worth of masterful vest- and tie-wearing mixologists can school you on spirits one second and chat indie rock the next. (To this scene add fine gastropub eats; serve.) Five years after bringing a more sophisticated drinking culture to Harvard Square, it’s still going strong, and we continue to profess our undying affection.
