Punky vibe of the place. Staff is personable and friendly. Love the menu the drinks and bites are tailored nicely.
The dj area by the bar such a nice touch.

I had heard good things about Brick and Mortar, and now I know why! The drinks were delicious as was the food. I’d definitely come back.

I got the pussycat drink ($17) which was delightfully sweet and fruity. The anchovy toast ($13) had a really nice green butter on the bread, and a perfect mix of olives, peppers, and anchovy — a really nice combo. I also really liked the “pizza” ($16) which had a lot of perfectly tangy-seasoned arugula, prosciutto, some cheese, and crispy chewy bread. The deviled eggs ($11) also had a nice horseradish kick to them, and the bacon wrapped dates ($11) were also good, but I liked the anchovy toast and pizza better.

I’d absolutely come back!

Extremely cozy ambiance in your classic dark lighting interior with lots of exposed brickwork and music playing at just the right volume. Service was excellent and two of my party enjoyed a couple of very well made cocktails but on this visit I opted for a can of beer . Prices were about right for the quality of the cocktails but a little steep for a can of beer . Would definitely visit again when I have more time to stay later and get a little more relaxed.

I only had the opportunity to have a single drink here. It was an old fashioned, which is so eady to make, but still usually screwed up. This was definitely a very good one, almost worth the ~$19 price. I will be back.

But speaking of backs, none of the seats have them — those of us with back problems can’t sit comfortably for long. Hence the three stars instead of five on atmosphere.

What a cool place! Not quite a speakeasy, but definitely gives off that “secret spot” vibe. The “community seating” encourages guests to strike up a conversation with their neighbors and get to know someone new, but the dark, intimate atmosphere gives you equal freedom to imagine you have the whole place to yourself. It is a subtle triumph of interior design to make a small crowded space feel both private and shared at the same time.

The sweeping, solid copper bar is beautiful on its own, but there are lots of nooks and small, artistic touches that create an overall mysterious, romantic ambiance that we loved.

It would be sad if a place as well-designed as this didn’t have an equally brilliant menu, but Brick & Mortar does NOT disappoint! Inventive, complex cocktails evolve in the glass. This is a great place for an aspiring mixologist (like myself) to come for inspiration, and to spend time trying to deconstruct the alchemy of the experience.

The staff is also top notch. We came on a Thursday evening to have a cocktail before heading down the street to Asmara for an Eritrean feast (also highly recommended). It was so good, we decided to come back later the same night for a night cap. Not only did the staff remember us and welcome us back, but when we moved from the wall where we were standing and waiting for a seat to the bar, the bartender already knew who we were and which drinks we’d ordered. It’s maybe a little thing, but I appreciate knowing there’s a team of people working together, communicating to create a pleasant experience for their guests.

This is the kind of place that makes people like me fantasize about opening up my own bar someday. They create a wonderful experience and make it seem effortless. Highly recommended!!!

Such a cool spot. It’s a speakeasy and I just found out the old Chef from Nosh & Grog in Canton is here now Chef Daniel and I can’t wait for his creativity and delicious food to come out. Definitely making this my new spot. Great atmosphere, great food (small plates) and awesome drinks.

Brick & Mortar offer all the ingredients for a great date night. The drinks were fantastic and the lighting was romantic. Just know that there aren’t a ton of food options, but personally that did not bother me. I would say that this would be a great place to start or end your night.

Had an amazing time tonight, I am so happy my friend recommended us visiting this establishment. The atmosphere was welcoming, the music choices were spot on and I cannot emphasize my appreciation for the staff. Our server Nicholas (also a bartender) made our time at brick and mortar so special and was extremely attentive. In my humble opinion he not only deserves the world but also recognition (don’t know how much he is being paid but double it and everyone should tip him please) for his ability to make the night special and fun. The potato chips were delicious and crunchy. The Mexican radio had me hooked, and was extremely smooth. Would come again, and recommend it to others!

Brick & Mortar is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Cambridge! From the moment you step in, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. The ambiance is unparalleled, with cozy seating arrangements and just the right lighting to set the mood.

The service here is top-notch, with staff who are attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready with a smile. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or a novice, they make you feel right at home.

I had the pleasure of trying their golden banana cocktail, and it was simply divine! Each sip was a burst of flavor, perfectly balanced and expertly crafted. And let’s not forget about the food – it’s delicious! From small bites to more substantial dishes, there’s something to satisfy every palate.

Overall, Brick & Mortar gets a resounding 100% recommendation from me. If you’re in the mood for a fantastic drink and a memorable experience, look no further than this charming spot in Central Square. You won’t be disappointed!
