Then head straight back for drinks at the bar downstairs. Voted Boston Magazine's Best Brew House in '96. Their five-beer sampler is a treat. Classic restaurant and bar with a nostalgic aura. Decorated with a great mural from the movie.
Dinner is moderately expensive, but well worth it.
Old-style d cor, including brick walls and wooden seats, coupled with good Guinness, make it worth the walk. Despite the hordes of loyal BC patrons, this is and will always remain a Harvard bar. The Grille makes no pretenses, but never suffers a shortage of people or character, and continues to nurture students with five-dollar pitchers. Popular dinner date spot, but packed on weekend nights. Extra-large flasks of honey brown for a couple of bucks, good mixed drinks, fantastic bar food, and never a wait.
