8 years agoI went to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. It was my first time there, but defiantly won’t be my last. The place was packed. I was the only African American woman there, no one knew me, but I felt like I had just walked in to Cheers you know the place we’re everybody knows you name 😁. Everyone was super friendly and I really had a blast. Can’t wait to go back and chat it up with Ruth the owner.

4 years agoMost Excellent little neighborhood bar. Warm, friendly, legit! We stumbled upon this little gem on a walk about- It's small and basic but we were warmly welcomed. unpretentious, clean, and you cld feel the strong Irish family heritage in every nook.

2 years agoCheap drinks and good food! What more could you ask for? This is located in an interesting spot but it certainly a great place to grab a drink and meet some local Cantabrigians. The bars atmosphere is very lowkey and inviting so expect to meet some new people! This is a great place to go watch a sports game and drink with friends. Also, the drinks are extremely cheap which is very nice. Note: the bar is cash only but they do have an ATM if you forget to bring cash.

2 years agoPaddy's Lunch is a quintessential dive bar! Opening the year after prohibition, it's coming up on its 90th birthday. The place is small as are it's prices. However, the history and locals I met there were larger-than-life! If you have a few minutes and a few dollars it's well worth the visit.

year agoEnded up here by accident on NYE— Bartender was so sweet and welcoming, she made sure my friend was safe, had water etc. We ended up staying through midnight and making some new friends. Beautiful start to the year. Thank you Paddy’s!!!!!

3 months agoI have no words. This place is perfect. Cheap, friendly, divey, darts. We can’t be too picky. Music also on point. 12/10. Be back soon.
