Patrick's place was impeccably clean and is in my favorite part of Cambridge. You can access all of the great bars and restaurants Cambridge Street/Inman Square has to offer (including Patrick's place, Atwood's) while also being close to the Green Line for easy access to downtown Boston. This is the perfect place for a night owl and music lover who is in town for a few days of fun. However, I was in town for work, not play, and needed to be up early, so we struggled with the street noise and noise from the bar. I am confused by reviews that say you can't hear noise from the bar -- you can hear the live music loud and clear, and it goes until around 12 or 1 (luckily the music is great!). If you plan to be up till around this time then I can't recommend Patrick's enough. But if you need to get a good night of sleep and be up early, this place isn't a good fit. However, Patrick was incredibly accommodating and responsive to our needs. When we decided we needed to go elsewhere for our last night in town, he graciously refunded me and said he was sorry we were struggling with the noise. He is an excellent host!
