This weekend we stumbled upon Lamplighter Brewing Company in Cambridge. It has a welcoming and…read morehipster vibe. Really enjoyed seeing the pride flag at the bar-- felt like a safe space for all. The Cambridge location is busy around the time we went, which was around noon on a Saturday. There is lots of seating in the front but also in the back which is a little more quiet. The setup is a little confusing for ordering though. There's one big line for food and coffee, but you don't need to wait in that line to order beers. I wish we knew that because we didn't see any signage to indicate where to order what. We also saw a lot of people sitting at the bar eating and drinking coffee, so it took a little bit to find a spot at the bar just to have a drink. I think the bar should be reserved for those looking to have a beer. A positive though is that the beer tasty-- light and refreshing. I thought some of the flavors were really creative. For example, I tried the Chrysalis which I believe had notes of jasmine and honey. Overall would definitely come here again and try their food and coffee next time!

We happened to go to Russell House Tavern during Dine Out Boston (aka Restaurant Week). I'm…read morenormally a bit suspicious of prix fixe menus, but I was taken with Russell House Tavern's because none of their prix fixe items were on the menu, and they looked delicious. The prix fixe menu was $46 for an appetizer, entree and dessert. I got the French onion soup (with short rib!), duck cassoulet and the profiteroles. The French onion soup was more substantial than a typical French onion soup which is saying something - cheesy, breast and meaty. I probably could have just eaten the French onion soup. The duck cassoulet and profiteroles were solid, and I particularly enjoyed the duck confit. Wonderful service.

The place has a really fun vibe -- coffee shop in the morning and brewery in the evening. The hostess was super friendly and got us seated in a nice dry spot in the back where we could admire all the brewing equipment. Live music started while we were there, adding more energy to the atmosphere. There's also an upstairs area that looked like a great place to hang out. The food looked fantastic, and my wife was especially excited to see they had a gluten-free dessert option. They offered a huge variety of freshly brewed beers -- IPAs, pilsners, sours -- something for everyone. They also had several non-alcoholic options, which was nice to see. I enjoyed a few half beers along with an order of guacamole, and my wife had the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious. The service was great, the beer was cold and fresh, and the atmosphere made it such a fun place to relax for a while. Definitely a great spot to grab a few drinks and hang out!

The brewery has 2 floors with multiple bars with taps and they were running full speed ahead. We found a couple of seats upstairs and I walked up to one of the bars and ordered a few 4-5 oz pours. Their hazies were really good especially Runner's High and Cloud Candy. While we were sitting there, we ordered a few apps; a hummus plate and some hot honey Brussel sprouts. They both came out fast and were tasty. The beer and food were both good, but the service was even better. The Mighty Squirrel is a well oiled machine.

Imagine: you're just a girl running away from a homeless guy chasing you on the street... then it turns out he's the bouncer!!!! He falls asleep on the job and then blames you for not checking in with him. Bouncer does crackhead math to arbitrarily decide if you people can enter. Party of 5? NO WAY!! part of 2? party of 3? FOR SURE!!!! He also cant read IDs, which is basically his only job as a bouncer. Have you ever beeen judged racially?? If not, come interact with the grendel's bouncer: then you'll know how it feels. Otherwise Grendel's is sick. The servers and bartenders are super nice and the vibe is great. But the bouncer eating soup ruined it.

Moules Frites: Google revealed it's Belgium's national dish, but this seems to be an Irish restaurant... The mussels weren't large, but they were quite fresh and very umami. The sauce, a blend of butter, parsley, and white wine, was creamy without being too greasy. However, the fries were just average, a bit cold and soggy. Shepherd's Pie: I chose what looked like the most Irish main course. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy, and the minced lamb was very flavorful. Unfortunately, the sauce was a bit too salty, overpowering the natural acidity of the tomatoes.

I loved the variety of cheese and the tart cranberry preserves on the side. I do wish it came with more bread or some crackers.
