An AMAZING cocktail bar, but the bar food is also so good??? Good portions and interesting twists. The messy fries with the chili crisp was SO good, and I LOVED the onion dip and shishito peppers. Meh on the deviled eggs.
Large selection of cocktails – I loved the sugar plum because I only like fruity drinks lol.
Service was slow both times I’ve been here on weekends, and it was really loud on the first floor.

We stopped by late one night for our
anniversary, and it was such a great spot- awesome bar and vibes! We tried a couple cocktails, and I can’t recommend the Land of the Snakes dessert cocktail enough. It’s coconut and matcha-based, and honestly, I’m still thinking about it…..
The Messy Fries are a must too!!!!! Crispy waffle fries topped with chili oil, kewpie mayo, and avocado. Sooooooo good!!!!!! Definitely recommend checking out Longfellow Bar

10/10 Family Dining Experience

Not only was the food great, but the entire experience was fantastic. We ordered a few appetizers to share between my wife, our baby, and me, and everything was delicious.

The staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating. We don’t usually make a fuss about high chairs since our 15-month-old barely wants to sit in one, but they went above and beyond — even bringing one over from their sister restaurant next door. When it turned out to be too short, they worked with us to find a solution. Just plain fantastic service!

The icing on the cake came when we ordered hot wings. Without us even asking, the staff brought out a few plain wings so the baby could enjoy some too. That thoughtful gesture made our family dining experience even better.

This place is a solid 10/10, and we’ll definitely be coming back.
Huge shout-out to Ross and the entire team for their kindness and attention to detail.

Had a great experience at Longfellow. Adrian and Danny behind the bar were excellent—knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Cocktails were well-balanced and thoughtfully made. You can tell they care about both the craft and the guest experience. One of the better cocktail spots in Cambridge. Will definitely be back

Great spot in Harvard Square! The cocktails are fabulous, especially suburban legends and cloud nine. We shared the pigs in a blanket (delicious, but be aware the plate comes with 3), the waffle fries (incredible, crispy and the plate is large and great for sharing), and the brussel sprouts (also tasty and great for sharing). We also ordered chips and onion dip which in hindsight was way too much potato with the order of fries but also good and shareable. Our server was attentive and friendly and was on it making sure our water was refilled promptly, which I loved. The bar itself was a cool vibe and the atmosphere is upscale but not too fancy.

Food was decent but Drinks left more to be desired. In a sense it was like they were trying too hard to make them fancy. Wings were very small and just tossed in Buffalo sauce but burger and pretzel was great. Essentially, just overpriced bar food in a “cool” setting. Glad we experienced it but wouldn’t go back or recommend it to others. There’s a bar around the corner we checked out that we enjoyed more

Came here for a date night after a recent outing in the area. The atmosphere in the bar is lovely. The drinks were quite good and each had their unique flavor. Also, the snacks are quite elevated. The chicken nuggets were so good and so were the messy fries. Really good dining experience and drinking here! Made our date night fantastic.

A phenomenal place to try if you’re in Cambridge area. Our server, Natalie was amazing! She read out our menu according to the dietary restrictions and gave me suggestions for vegetarian options. The vibe is amazing and their little patio is cute if you’re going on a date or out with friends. Would highly suggest to check them out.

Came here for drinks prior to dinner.

The overall vibe was great – definitely one of the better cocktail spots in Boston. The bartenders were really nice and helpful, and did a really sweet job of service considering we weren’t sitting at the bar.

The waffle fires were good, maybe I would get the loaded ones next time!
