The Labrartory - Cambridge

Cool vibe. Good music. Great beers. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great ambiance in the bar and great staff! So friendly. We loved the RAR herb double IPA.

My partner found RAR with a friend last spring we returned on Memorial Day weekend Nice find cute location in a strip of renovated downtown Cambridge. Love the decor and open air rooms, good playlist although you can't go wrong with Bob Marley Beer notes- anything dark and anything sour says the beer aficionado The burgers were good, reminded me of midwestern butter burgers . The onion rings I had as a side get a thumbs up, crispy and cooked just right with a sprinkle of old bay. For an appetizer we had the drunken tots with crab, this is a must have , spectacular. Attentive service too

The restaurant part of this brewery is called Chessie burger and it is awesome. I had a chili hot dog with macaroni and cheese, very cheap. I love it when restaurants have a range of prices on their menu, so you can go with friends and get the low end entre while others get the high end, or if you aren't super hungry you can find something appealing. The servers treated me well even though I sat alone, another test. They had booths that are comfortable for short people like me. Sold! Next time I'll try the crabcake and come for drinks.

I always loved RAR and peeled off the highway for it when passing by. But it's better and better and better. It's truly a beer Mecca now with an incredible home grown list (double ipa, sours, imperial stouts) plus a ridiculous (meaning amazing) list of guest taps and cans. The latter includes some of best beers in the NE and mid Atlantic...like The Veil. They added food a few years back. Truly a spectacular experience..if you are a beer nerd it will stump you with too many choices.
