We had the best experience hosting our wedding at Locke Bar! Pete and the whole team were absolutely amazing from start to finish — so kind, organized, and easy to work with. Pete went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from helping us test our playlist to customizing the menu (he even brought back the five spice ribs just for us!). The space looked beautiful with flowers and candles, and our guests are still talking about how great the food, drinks, and service were. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our day! (Photo credit Mparkos Creative)

Came here for team dinner with a preset menu
Spicy pineapple mocktail – 5/5 delicious
Espresso martini – 4/5 good nothing special
Tomato bisque – 2/5 too sour
Steak and potatoes – 5/5 so much food, 14oz of steak is a lot to eat in one sitting. I got mine medium well. The steak was topped with spinach which felt like a random choice but okay. I would have liked the potatoes better with ketchup, something more acidic than the default aioli to cut through the heaviness of the whole dish
Basque cheesecake – 4/5 less burnt than I expected, which meant less texture variety. It was just soft and fluffy. It was still good and came with ice cream, a solid end to a decadent meal

Don’t use their online ordering system that’s connected to their website. I paid and got a confirmation email but they had no trace of it. Another time I won a gift card from them and it didn’t work and they acted like there was nothing they could do to honor it for a bit until it somehow worked. They serve really average food, like ordered steak tips medium rare and it was medium well… it’s just overpriced and I’ve had to deal with a few hassles with this place. Nice atmosphere and trivia though.

I went here with family for the first time, and was blown away by the food. Everything was so delicious and beautifully plated. Everyone at our table ordered drinks and was very happy with them, and our dessert was gone within minutes. The service was great, the atmosphere and seating was very nice, and it was an overall great experience. A little pricey, but I will absolutely be coming back!

Great space in Kendall square with tons of outdoor seating. The interior and atmosphere was pleasant. The staff was super friendly and personable. The food was delicious especially the ribs and brussels sprouts. Would definite recommend this place if you’re looking for a bar and good eats.

The Locke bar has a nice interior and a good location if you are looking for a good bar with food in Cambridge. The staff was so kind and the food was good. We got pretzels, ribs, and Brussels sprouts, they are really tasty good. Especially, brussels sprouts were so delicious!

With its expansive interiors and direct access to the patio, Locke Bar conjures up images of an upscale beach bar – spacious, pristine, and offering a singular experience. The ambiance certainly sets a lofty expectation.
The venue, while architectural poetry, does suffer from limited patronage, which is slightly perplexing given its potential. Walking into such a beautifully-crafted space, I anticipated a culinary experience mirroring its decor. Unfortunately, that wasn’t entirely the case.
Take their Fried Chicken Sammy for instance. It felt more like a modest slider than a hearty sandwich. The chicken was a bit on the dry side and lacked the rich flavors. However, the pickled jalapeño and kimchi gave it a redeeming tangy boost. The Prop & Peller Pretzel also felt unexceptional and overly dense. While I admired the honey mustard, the pairing with pickled vegetables felt slightly misaligned with the pretzel experience.
On the bright side, their Fish & Chips was better. The fish, ensconced in a delicately seasoned batter, paired harmoniously with the house remoulade and coleslaw. The fries added a satisfying crunch, rounding off the dish quite well.
While Locke Bar dazzles with its atmosphere, there’s room for growth on the culinary front. It’s an ideal spot if you’re in the mood for a chill evening, but temper your food expectations.

Had a great time at The Locke Bar. The food and drinks were great and the staff were absolutely amazing! For drinks we ordered the cactus flower (the red drink served straight up) and the paper plane (the orange drink served on the rocks); we also got the brussel sprouts and the baked brie skillet, all pretty delicious! We’ll definitely come back here.

This trendy spot features a welcoming outdoor seating area that’s perfect for enjoying a meal or drink. The atmosphere is effortlessly cool, with laid-back contemporary vibes. On top of that, the service is attentive and friendly. Would visit again.

Went to Locke bar for a work lunch with my colleagues. This place just opened up for lunch service and we were excited by their menu.
First, my fish and chips were delicious. Moist flaky beautiful fish with a light tartar sauce. Definitely a winner. Fries are also very yummy.
I did get to try the falafel. I’m not going to deny, it was more dense than I enjoy and it’s not my favourite by far. The other item that was ordered was the grain bowl. As seen in the picture it has much less grain than most places that offer a grain bowl. Ordered beware but by all accounts was very yummy.
I think my main problem with Locke bar if I decided to go of my own volition and money, is the pricing. My fish was $26 with 2 pieces of fish. When comparing to my peers getting san which es or salads with no add ons it was a full $10 difference. I’m very conscientious of my ratios and all the other options were high carb or I’d need to add a $6 protein add on. I do believe my portion and quality was fair but I wish there were lean protein focused alternate options comparable to the sandwiches in price.
Overall would go again either for after work drinks in the area or for a work function, but I’ll avoid the $30 tab for lunch.
